Hey guys, I'm a newbie here. I just wanted to share my GA with you all and get your feedback, comments, etc. It's a 2004 SE in graystone. I've been modding it since Christmas, but there's more to come in the future once I get more $$$.

Current mods:
Pilot 6000K HID
TYC black housing headlights
TYC black altezza tails
Dual post mirrors
Black pontiac overlays on wheels, front emblem
Painted calipers
Stage 3 CAI w/ K&N filter
Grill kit from CCG

Future mods:
Pacesetter cat back exhaust
Rims (currently undecided, suggestions?)
Window tint
Eibach Pro Kit
Hella Optilux Angel Eyes
Mirrors painted to match car

I can only upload a few pics b/c most exceed the limit. Let me know what you think, thanks.

Thanks, and you're correct. These pics are a month old and I just put the grill kit on a few days ago. The painted calipers aren't in these pics either.

wow very nice, i have the same exact car, but an 03. that color is sweet, and you make me wanna get the black headlights again. i have no problem getting them as long as my 6000K HIDs from Pilot (same as yours) will have the same output. i plan on getting the smoked led tails though. i wish my body was still in mint condition like yours, i have a holer in my rear bumper and two big dents in fender and quarter panel (damn hit and run while perked) but good luck with it! if you ever get a kit ill buy your stock rear!

Thanks a lot, kody.

03graystone, thanks, and I really do like this color. It's unique in that you don't see many other GA's out on the road with it. I would def go with the black headlights (and the smoked LED's). The output from mine is great and I don't really think the housing really takes away from it. By the way, I've seen the pics of your GA with your new gunmetal Exel Ennio rims. Truth be told, I am thinking about getting the same wheels, only in 18"s and in the hyper light Wheelmax offers. How are they for you? Did you need spacers or anything? Here's a crappy photoshop of what it would look like...

those rims will look sick. no i didnt ned spacers, but they didnt stick out that much. im selling them tommorrow unless you have a better offer than $350. im going to get American Eagle 17x8 rims.

Wow, thats a great offer and I appreciate it, but I'm just not a fan of gunmetal rims. Plus I got my eyes set on some 18"s! Haha

That's awesome man, you have any pics of the car w/ them on? Eagle 077s are sick wheels and look great on GAs. I know they were discontinued for a bit, but I saw them on Wheelsnext.com...are they back on the market or did you get them from a private seller? Another thing, I noticed you removed that slim line of plastic/paneling/whatever-its-called from the sides of your doors to put on your old body kit. How did you remove that...

i have pics but not uploaded yet. and i got them from a private seller for $360, perfect condition with almost new Toyo Proxes tires.

the line the bodyshop removed just by simply heating it up, then slowly pulling it away. you then have to rub the remaining tape/glue off. be careful not to burn your car or yourself, and dont force it with anything sharp.

Thanks for the tip, I figured the process was similar to removing badges.
