Nice pics - the SS is lookin' good! I also really like the environment too. Very vibrant colors Cali doesn't get seasons so its kinda tough tryin' to get those kinds of shots at times

Yea the middle two where actually in my front yard after I detailed it lol

I feel that mine is sub par due to not really having anything done to it. I'm still searching for MS side skirts as my next big purchase and you can only imagine how difficult MS parts are hard to find. Partly in reason why I don't go to car shows bc besides the emblems and turn lights, that's all I have done to it.

My goal is just to make it a show car instead of speed bc it's an auto.

I guess I can't really complain tho bc IMO my 8 is cleaner and in running condition compared to all the others around here.

Not going to lie - showing the car at events is a ton of fun. Inspiring others has been a huge reward within itself.

IMO, don't be too concerned about what your car isn't...just build what you love and love what you build.


p.s. - i REALLY wish my hood n' bumper fit that well (damn accidents)

Your 8 really looks great P. Not gonna lie a little jelly lol, but I use that to keep pushing when time and money allow. I'm definately inspired by looking at the progress you and others have accomplished. Can't wait to see it in person in Vegas (if you guys are going)

Did you flip-flop your wheels and bumper? Your sig' shows your wheels are black and silver front lip. It's the opposite on the picture you attached.

Yea I change my wheels all the time.....I've just installed those daytime running lights

Right now it's the current I've posted...not my sig. I'm painting my wheels professionally pretty soon. They where only plasti dipped so I could have a visual and not have to be commited to paint at first.

I painted the lower lip due to city driving and all the **** that fly's up and chips my paint.

o_o really? I saw a few pics of other 2005 gts that had the same spoiler... Would you be able to show me what the original spoiler would look like and/or which spoiler I have at the moment?
