Default new stuff installed what do you think?

Finally installed my Gt 500 Front end and shaker hood. All thats left is getting it painted with the boss theme kinda like this.




and then also painting my spoiler black, and getting the flush fit louvers painted black. Heres what it looks like so far.

The gt500 conversion kit was about 1800 and labor was free, took me about 1-1/2 - 2 hours to install.

Yeah it wasnt too expensive compared to everything else for the 05-09 model. But it was still pretty expensive for pretty much just a front bumper. I paid for headlights fog lights crash pad, front bumper, and thats all that i used..

I tell you, if you're going to spend that kind of money for a change, just finish the damn thing. Never leave a job half done.

I don't really like the boss stripes. I like the two tone look, probably similar in price.

Isn't getting the nose of the car repainted what you're doing this weekend? Regardless, you should get it all done at once. I'm sure it'd be cheaper that way anyway.

Yes it would be cheaper if i was getting it done at a body shop. I am having my neighbor who works at a body shop do a side job and he is giving me a really good price for it. But he is doing it in parts this weekend is the bumper louvers, and spoiler, labor day weekend is nose - bumper and stripes.

turned out great. I really like how the headlights angle on the gt500 kit instead of the box look on the regular ones. Nice job
