The 2nd one would've been a sweet calendar shot. Time to drop that 4x4 now.

[Bouchie11982]

WTF...you are the 2nd person to call it a 4x4...it's not that big :P yea i know i just blew alot of money on these tires and the hood and side mirrors and spoiler, so im a little in debt right now. thanks though :) yea i love that 2nd one as well.

[lironet]

Nice & Shiny :thumbs:

Silver GA's FTW!

[DrFabulous]

Looks raked to me already. Nice rims!! I love that they're a little different, but still look great on a GA.

[UNCTYPE-S]

The GT's come with a raked look stock. The gap is just too high, but if you dont have the $ right now, then you have no choice. Looks good though.

Yea, I know they do, this one just looks like it does moreso than most. *shrug*


I like it.

[Bouchie11982]

that's what i thought as well when i first saw it. thanks for the comments guys :) keep them coming!

[TwIsTa]

very nice and like the guy said above the 2nd shot would be a perfect calender shot.

[crazypontiac03]

Looks Good. reminds me of my old Car. :(

[Pontiac Ninja]

it definitely has that nose dive look more then others for some reason.

looks very good with those rims man! not usually a fan of silver (just too common for me), but I do really like yours! :thumbs:

What was done to the hood/spoiler/mirrors?

[nascarnate326]

I like it alot. Only thing that i dont like, is the front license plate. Thank god I dont have one of those. Nice rims though. Kind of reminds me of old cragiers. Keep up the good work, girl.

[2002GT]

nice.... 18s would have been better

[GrandAmChick]

They look great, Katie!!!

IBlosethefrontplate.

[lone_wolf025]

Sweet rims. I've got the same issue with the front plates...stupid state laws...

[RAZE]

I like those rims. They remind me of the ones I have on my GTO!! If I'm at the CT meet, then we'll have to do a side by side shot.

[ndprunner22]

i love your car, the headlights look smooth and i like the rims alot for some reason. keep it up

[KeyserSosa2000]

I didn't even notice the front plate because everywhere in Canada requires one.....it's stupid. What size are those rims?

[Sleepwalkr]

Definately nice. :thumbs: I think those are my favorite wheels. Its too bad they don't make 'em in 18's.

[pontga00]

Where were those pics taken?

[Bouchie11982]

the hood/mirrors/spoiler are sitting in my closet right and my mom's work place waiting to get painted. and the front plate cover i compeltely forgot to bring with me.
Jeff: that was at the waterfront in CT
KeyserSosa: they are 17"

[Slim]

Man... My rims are gettin' passed around like a $5 whore. lol

Looks good, but then again, I'm a little biased. :D

[Bouchie11982]

LMAO! Slim and atc....don't worry...i'll take gooooood care of them. :D
lol y be biased?

They're a pain in the butt to keep clean, but they look really good when they are. :)

edit: It's hard to believe, but here's what those same rims looked like during the winter of 2004.

OH DEAR GOD THE HORROR!! wow what a DIFFERENCE from how they are there to how they are now. when i got them from ATC they were nasty!! it took me weeks to clean them and get that shine back lol
im not keeping the rims on during winter.

Well, the rims underneath are prefectly clean. What you see is a nice layer of grease over the rims. It was a quick powerwash to remove it and they looked brand new underneath.

It took my dremel with polishing compound to them about once every 6 months. Other than that, Mother's chrome polish worked wonders!

[Bouchie11982]

i used Meguirs metal restorer lol it came out wicked nice and shiny, figure i used that after i got them in the condition of how they look like in the picture u posted

Well, they look damned good. I'm happy the rims have moved on to a an owner who will make them look like I used to keep 'em. :thumbs: (winter excluded lol)

[Bouchie11982]

these rims will NEVER see winter.....again...

Burlington winters will do that to rims. My buddy has a *cough* Integra *cough* and his rims always look like that in winter.

PS
Katie, the more I look at your car, the more I like the angled look of it. Very aggressive looking.

[lironet]

WOW! My chrometechs have never looked like that during the winter.

Burlington winters must suck. :D

[Bouchie11982]

oh you mean the stock angled (lowered front, higher back) lol

[02andahalfgt]

Looks good Katie! :thumbs:

[Ktown01GT]

someone already said it but i'll repeat it

SILVER GAGTs FTW!!!!

cant wait to see pics of it with the hood and also once you finally drop it

[Bouchie11982]

just for the record everyone. i'm not going to drop the car...it's not worth dropping it AND putting the kit on with these New England roads and trying to dodge the crater....i mean potholes in the roads. Sorry :(
but thanks for the comments, keep them coming :)
