David's Progression...01 GAGT

[Grims01gt]

Well, here are a few pics of how I brought her home...

My first "MODS" were headlight covers, vent visors, and a sunroof deflector..

Then I bought AC Delco Plugs and MSD Wires and put them in..

Then I bought a glowshift A pillar, and gauges, which I loved, but the sandwich adapter for the oil pressure sender started leaking so I pulled it off and sold it..Whick I regret because I could have bought a different sending unit..but I will do this mod again..

Then came the SCT spoiler and 3rd brake light..cell pic

TYC headlights and LED tails

Then I painted some interior pieces Black as well as the engine cover

Next was the sct hood

Tint, which I was forced to remove because the factory tint in PA is legal no darker..20%

Added a trophy thanks to everyone at Albany 2009

And the most recent..

Tinted tails, SLP catback, MP Racing CAI, Retro Projectors, and dyed interior

Thanks Chris, hopefully a drop will make her pop, then if Phantom ever comes back, I'll have a set of TOG's to drop in the bay..Along with a tune and HF cat, and some Black leather shifter and ebrake boots with silver stitching soon..then more motor work I think..

[Ghost]

[dangerranger67]

i like the tinted tails

[1BADG6GT]

Looks good... slaps some rims on that beeotch and you're good to go!!!

[markpetersonii]

Looking better and better! I'm not a fan of the tails though... kinda weird looking, I like sock better.

[[ChaosweaveR]]

He has stock tinted GT tails now, Mark.

[Sam]

The interior is a little much.

[Grims01gt]

The exterior will have silver accents eventually..I didn't want to do one or two, prolly do a few at the same time..I will be two toning the brake calipers and brakets soon..Along with a silver arrowhead overlay, silver sct hood stripes, and maybe a grill kit..

Sam, appreciate the honesty, what is "a little much" about it? j/c

I'm very ocd and there are too many dark colors and the black on the dash and door panels are too shiny for my taste. Then compare that dark color to your seats and carpet and its just too much contrasting dark colors for me. But I see what you are going for and I like it. But like I said, just a bit much for my tastes.

The seats do stick out a lot compared to the rest of the newly colored interior.

You gonna reskin the seats, and the carpets too? Also, the rest of the steering wheel too.

I will be finishing the interior, yes..

I'm not sure exactly what to do with the steering wheel at this point, I know it looks half finished. But I'm not sure what to do with it..As far as the seats, I'm looking at two different brands, both in the $600+ range, and not of importance atm..Carpet will come as well, but I want a winter beater before that..

[Grims01gt]

Some updates..

Before...

After..

I like it, nice but subtle..what do you think? Also, here is a pic of what I'm trying to figure out when I drop it..Driveway!

I already have to drive in at an angle, I don't think I'll clear dropped..Going to make some ramps, pita, but you gotta do, what u gotta do lol

[Grims01gt]

Meh, the LED strip look is more suited for trucks.

I just noticed...PAINT YOUR MIRRORS! They stick out like a sore thumb in those shots.
