    Heres my baby. These first couple pics shes dirty and waiting on a new engine, headers, and exhaust.





    And here are a couple of her cleaned up and pics of the new headers and exhaust. I had planned on clay baring and waxing and shining up the tires and everything but had to cut it short so i could run the kids to my moms so she only got washed but next weekend hopefully i can get it in and im gonna re tint the tails cuz theyve gotten lighter.

    Looks good! I like the GTP badge moved to the trunk lid.

    Side note:: you should get the band style exaust clamps for the header crossover pipe. Looks better and less worry of a leak. =)

    No, remove the badge on the trunk completely. Front and rear facias should be painted black for contrast. Also you need new tips

    Yeah I've thought bout painting the facias but I'm not very good with a spray can so have been nervous to try and I wasn't a very big fan of the tips when I got it back I had wanted them bigger than that but was just so excited to have the car back I didn't care

    Looks good. I have thought about repainting to white.

    I actually like the white lower valences. It flows much better with the car. The trunk badge looks good where its at IMO. The only thing I would change are the tips. They don't fill in the space where they sit. You've got a clean starting point. Any plans for the engine?

    Thanks. Plans for the engine are ported sc an tb and a 3.4 pulley with an overkill tune but right now saving up money for my inceptor guage so I can scan the car. Eventually I will get more into visual mods too but right now just worried bout performance.

    Right at least you have some direction with the car. The Aeroforce gauge is nice and does well, but don't forget about the scangauge II. It's $150 from Autozone and does pretty much the same thing an Aeroforce does. The nice thing about the scangauge is that it allows you to monitor 4 things at once.

    Thanks didn't know bout the scangauge II and that's a lot more in my price range but I wanna go with a boost/vac, scangauge or inceptor, and an oil pressure gauge

    Alright haven't posted here in awhile but modding had to come to a hault because my son has been diagnosed with duchennes m.d. so a lot of money has been going to that and trips to the Luries children's hosptial in chicago. I was able to spoil myself a lil bit with taxes so I picked up a modular pulley system, pulley puller, motor and trans mounts, and a transgo shift kit. I will post some updated pics here in just a lil bit as soon as I get the pics off my phone.
