    I see old ladies in 40th GTP coupes all the time (don't ask me how I figure they're GTPs, I just know...). It makes me so jealous.... ROOF RAILS ARRGGG.

    Not digging the window banner, too "spread out" and they just detract from the cleanliness of the car. Also, your car looks to be begging for a drop, and bigger calipers to fill those wheels up.

    i sort of agree on the banner. i got it when i first got the car and am probably taking it off soon. i also agree on the rotors but it costs money lol. now the drop...i wish i could but id tear my front bumper off with how bumpy the roads are around here

    Welcome to the USA. =P
    I'd have the same deal, but if I can, I'll probably drop mine anyway. Maybe just an inch, but that's still a drop, and it'll still look better.

    Banners and large pontiac (or other) symbols on back windows aren't necessary on any car. My personal opinion is they look like ****.

    Besides the banner, your car looks very nice.

    Get BIGGER rims and then lower it, they will offset each other and kill the gap but give you the clearance j/k

    I agree with lower it a little and back in and back out, i have a 4-5 in drop pulling into the drive way and if I'm not VERY careful i scratch the front bumped and I'm factory height still too... but backing in is a breeze, plus then your not mooning all other traffic while the car is at home, your showing off the front end

    Some vogtland springs would give a small drop that would limit some of the wheel gap. That would look good and still offer a good ride.
