The top one I assume is old looking at this pic:

Looks great though, ever think of tinting the tails or just smoking them?

you are correct.. front grills are satin black also.. i thought about tinting them, then i changed my mind.since the car is red i dont want to go extreme on the black stuff. red tails on a red car isnt that bad.

The red GTO on the back looks great and I like the black upper grills. I also like how you painted the engine covers. The only thing I think I would change in to paint the fan/radiator shroud red to match the car. The black I think takes away from how clean you have made everything and would flow better into the engine compartment. Lastly im a sucker for the SAP lower grill kit or at least the fake painted one. Over all I love the car thou... Im just thinking out loud.

oh no... that'd be waaaaaaaay too much red lol. im going to throw a red gto decal on a section of it..

another thing i may do is just get teh over the radiator intake then ill basically remove the shroud or cut a piece out of it.

i do like the sap lower portion but for 4xx bucks i cant see myself going that far. i do have a lower splitter.. it looks like this...

ive got that sittin around. just need to get it in.

You would have to build a SOLID base. Tuning is the single most important mod on the car. I don't even trust professional tuners locally that don't know hpt but want to learn on my car. If you can get 5-10 people and have them be fully satisfied you may have a good market. To start you might have to do them relatively inexpensive.

thanks everyone.. im looking forward to camming it.. cant wait.

haha. that arrowhead is staying.

well I've been a tad lazy but some new mods have happened

stock- well stock exterior wise.

now-(car at Goatfest7 2011)

flat black wheels. satin black SAP front grills, and satin black rear valence. I had red vinyl for the letter inserts but it wasn't cut correctly. im waiting on my replacement. then i'll be debadging "pontiac" off of the back.

wheels are 17s. i went with them because they are lighter than stock and i plan to run 275s in the rear so I didnt want to have to do too much modifcation in the back to have room for them. Plus i just hated the stock polished wheels. Im not a fan of polished/chrome wheels. Engine covers are gloss black and torrid red.

san an fkn tonio

dynoed a "baseline" today

303 whp 299 wtq. VERY stingy mustang dyno

clutch is broken in and new tires are on the car. MAN its a new animal now. i love it.

there's a slight rasp and idk if that's normal with the pacesetter lt's and mids but im gonna take it to an exhaust shop to see if they can diagnose.

ordered some ddm 35 w 5000k hids last night and got my yokohama s drives installed today. makin more progress

trust me its hard. ive been driving all over on purpose.

ohhhh and i have magnaflow

broken in = 500 im close but not all the way there.. ill take a quick one shortly.

review on the monster level 3.

i love it

clutch feels good. after 370 miles on it. the pedal has moved up in engagement pt and it feels solid still.

not bad. i want another turbo sport compact for a dd again since gas is getting stupid

im curious to what those wheels will look like, but i like them.

nice pickup on the exhaust and nitrous as well.

you will love the pacesetter lt's. the sound is amazing. haven't really been able to punch it yet, cuz im still breaking in my clutch.

car looks familiar.. coulda sworn i saw it on ls1 tech or something like that

i like the changes tho very nice..

those wheels would look great black chromed or gunmetal.

Took you long enough ! j/k

But wow, they look great ! I love it ! Did you get a chance to fire it up yet ?

fk ya. been drivin it to work. i love it..

I haven't read much on it yet, but I heard long tubes are a bitch to put on. Any truth to this, or fairly straight forward?

i didnt install them.. lol im too lazy. after doing a full turbo build on my last car, i realized hands on modding was not for me if it requires more than an an hr or two. i let my installer/car club president do it. he's a gm tech so he did it at the dealer on his off day.

Very cool! how is it?

real nice. sounds pretty good and i can feel the pickup already

tits!

thanks!

only caveat is that i got the clutch in too, so i cant take it past 3k...

got em done!

tryna find the pic of the clutch in the tranny in the air.

headers mids and clutch going in on sat!

i usually hate those type of wheels but they work. very nice ride.

sexy.. i wish i had gotten a silver goat.

i may be switching careers here soon so we'll see what happens.

but if i happen to get a salaried job that pays steady and in the price range i want. you may be seeing a thread for my dd lol and the head cam setup may come a bit quicker.

lol one thing about me.. i dont waste time..

when i mod. i mod in bulk. things come at one time.

all my stuff is getting done at the shop. ive had my "fun" doing turbo installs, brake installs, wheel installs, etc..

this car is expensive to mod so im gonna let the pros do it
