Well I've been here a while but never made a 'Member's Ride' thread. So here it is. My build thread...

At the dealership about a year ago when I first bought it. Car came with the wheels painted black. I bought it with 3k miles on it WELL under the sticker price. Gotta love people who don't make their payments! :)

About a month or 2 later I took it to NorthStar for some fun. Beat up on my brother's GTO a few times:
(at this point all I had was a catback on it and some caliper covers)

Next I plastidiped the Emblems on the fenders, and the gas cap thing on the trunk, and around the edges of my tail lamps. Also Tinted the tail lamps, and side markers,

CALIPER COVERS!

Haha

J/k it looks good, Danny boy

nice man!

ya...ya... Some people don't like em but I think it ties in well with the car's theme. Black with some subtle red accents.

I have a a few more current pics in the pictures thread. Could only put 35 in 1 post haha.

Thought I'd thow in my relativy stock dyno. Just had catback and intake here. True Street's new shop opening Dyno Day

Yeah, just giving you a hard time. I don't mind them at all as long as they look good and for with the theme.

Haha ya I know. To be honest I think it really does help keep my wheels clean too. Yet, I do wash the car weekly so that might have something to do with it too ;)

Lol at the control arm pic.

This car is tits. Personally I like the caliper covers because I want caliper covers. ha

I told you before Danny I love your car. Sexy owner too

It was much needed! haha!

Haha thanks bud!

Hey Dan, I was thinking about adding those Raxiom headlights. I thought they were only for cars already equipped with HIDs, so do those add HIDs or are you able to just use them as regular halogens?

-Alex

Either way. IMO they look awful though,.

Well, awful would be a step up from the stock halogens maybe :)

-Alex

I think Steve said i best when he said these are muscle cars not Euro. I love the stock haloglens more then I do the HID housings. It fits the car.

True story :)

-Alex

Love the plasti-dip tailight surround.

I actually got rid of them but they make a model for cars with Halogen and HID cars. I just git an aftermarket DDM tuning kit to mine.

Ya I never fell in love with them so I sold them and went back to stock. If anything I may look into getting ones with the chrome pieces blacked out. Thought about doing it myself, just not sure If want want to tear into the housings.

Some updates:

Got some new wheels: Avant Garde M550s, 20x10.5 on Continental Extreme Contact DWs 275/35/20.

I did a photoshoot with Dale, which is where most of these pictures came from a few from his buddy Riker. I am also now on AGs Customer's Rides section:

As you can see I am working on the plenum cover. I hope to have that done this month.

Thanks! I think it makes the tail lights look so much better. Keeps the flat black theme which is present throughout the car as well as takes a lot of the extra red away from the tail lights.

I am thinking about painting the gurney flat with plastidip as well.

That's straight sex. Wow. Looks great!

+1. Would like to see some bigger pics for wallpaper usage.

-Alex

I should be getting the pics from Dale soon so let me know what pics you want.

Hey, I need to hire you to help me plastidip my trunk + emblems. I suck at painting anything. Mechanical things are easy, paint I always F up.

Dan,

I try to be a lil different but you and I got the same taste. Had them on for about a year now

nice!

Some black GT500 front brembo calipers and paint your back ones black = perfect IMO

I like the Ford racing coil covers but not worth the price IMO.

Did the gt500 spoiler use the stock spoilers holes? I've been wanting one, but don't want to repaint my deck lid. I love your car btw

It does

Some updated pics after paint correction, just to add that to my progress thread here.
