    looks great lightblade.

    I think you and i have very similar taste. I am getting ready to make a post soon of my new asthetic mods. I am very interested in getting the lower grill you have, who makes it and where did you get it?

    I removed the foglights.
    I found the lower grill on ebay, just do a search and you will find it.

    Just my opinion... I don't really like it.

    +1...
    HOWEVER, it does look like quality items and is very clean looking. I'm just not a fan of the tiny headlights.

    I kind of like it, looks a lot meaner than the huge factory bug eyes.:nice:

    That's something I've never liked about the gt's, the lights are too "cute" looking for a muscle car.

    I see from your tags that you are a fellow Virginian, are those lights legal for inspection?

    Just curious...

    yup they are legal, and i hated the huge center mounted foglights and headlights, look weird to me, and pointless to have fog where they were. and these projectors are much brighter

    i dont suppose we could get a night time pic of the headlights shining out, to see how bright they are, and what kind of patten they have?

    oh yea, i like the way it turned out, much more aggressive than stock

    I think it's pretty cool you can pull wheel stands in your driveway...

    Sort looks like a good sleeper car in a way. People will think it is just a V6 with GT emblems when you are coming towards them. I think it looks nice good job.

    What would be interesting is a full frontal grill from one side to another and when the lights come on the peer through or even opens up. Just a thought.

    I'm not a fan of it however I agree the parts look top quality. It looks to me like it might be missing something like a chin spoiler or maybe if you put on the C/S front facia...i dunno. :shrug:

    The painted textured black spoiler is supposed to match the mirror finish perfectly I've been told. That is the one I plan on getting.

    I like the grille. Would like to see foglights in the lower grille. I don't care for the splitters over the headlights.

    I went with the CDC aggressive spoiler which was not offered in black two years ago.I originally painted it to match the car but it got buggered up in two years (my car is lowered 1.5") so I painted it textured black recently with a scuff / stone resistant paint. Very easy to touch up as needed.

    EDIT: I also painted my rear valance to match, and I am doing my rocker panels / side skirts to match to create a continous visual reference.
