First real wash of the season, I washed with Blue Coral, clayed it, and waxed with Megs ColorX. Wiped the last of the wax off just as it started sprinkling, so the pics are just in my driveway. Enjoy.

Overlays for the pontiac emblem, Ground effects Graphic inserts, Headlights and tail pipes?

Tail pipes are stock actually... Kinda made it easy for the mods with pictures, but I haven't taken new pictures since I got them all.
Bring it here and I will. Probably closer for you to go to Coupe though, that's one person I'd love to take my car to. Wheels need to get cleaned though, Simple Green makes them shine.

definetly looks good, i love how our cars clean up so well, you'd never know my car (or yours going by the pictures) that they are 7 years old and have gone thru winters...

Yeah, or live on a dirt road...
At least I'm not the only 01 not to have the 75th Anniv. edition, now I don't feel so left out.

Very nice. The headlights look a bit off though.

They do need to be adjusted a little bit, but I did a better job of aiming them with a piece of cardboard at 3 feet than a shop did. They are aimed almost perfect, with the passenger side a tad high, and both a little to the left, but I'm hoping for a nice warm night without the damn mosquitos bugging me to do that, since we need to adjust Cody's as well. Thanks for the comments guys, it's appreciated.

I wish it was an intercooler. That's just what happens when a few years of salt eats away at your condenser. I thought it looked kinda cool, little bit like an intercooler to the untrained eye, so I decided not to paint it back to black as of yet. Maybe someday it will be an actual intercooler.

NICE!

I like the black overlay on the dart, as simple as that is.
Car looks great!

The dart overlay did so much to change the front end. I could barely notice the inlays for the license plate cover, but with that on the black jumped out.

Thanks, you don't know how long I looked for a red GT that didn't have tons of problems. I had been looking at a black one, but I live on a dirt road, and that doesn't really agree with dark colors. As it is now, the dirt only shows up on the side skirts, the metal doesn't even show dirt until about 3 weeks of not being washed.

i kinda wish i had a red one, but im fine with mine. maybe if its the right deal i can take all stock parts back on my black one and get this red one at a local dealer with the entire sct kit minus the front spoiler (hood, side skirts, rear bumper and spoiler) along with leather seats. i doubt i will buts its a nice dream haha

Wish there was a red one here with SC/T parts, I'd see if I could trade, I know people at the dealership, and if I offered cash with the parts, I'm sure they'd think about it.

I say do a trade off with the colors, go two tone! Red on the bottom, black on top. :cool:
