Well I've been here a while but never made a 'Member's Ride' thread. So here it is. My build thread...

At the dealership about a year ago when I first bought it. Car came with the wheels painted black. I bought it with 3k miles on it WELL under the sticker price. Gotta love people who don't make their payments! :)

About a month or 2 later I took it to NorthStar for some fun. Beat up on my brother's GTO a few times:
(at this point all I had was a catback on it and some caliper covers)

Still one of my Favorite 2 Pics

Next I plastidiped the Emblems on the fenders, and the gas cap thing on the trunk, and around the edges of my tail lamps. Also Tinted the tail lamps, and side markers,

Haha ya I know. To be honest I think it really does help keep my wheels clean too. Yet, I do wash the car weekly so that might have something to do with it too ;)

Hey Dan, I was thinking about adding those Raxiom headlights. I thought they were only for cars already equipped with HIDs, so do those add HIDs or are you able to just use them as regular halogens?

I actually got rid of them but they make a model for cars with Halogen and HID cars. I just git an aftermarket DDM tuning kit to mine.

Either way. IMO they look awful though,.

Ya I never fell in love with them so I sold them and went back to stock. If anything I may look into getting ones with the chrome pieces blacked out. Thought about doing it myself, just not sure If want want to tear into the housings.

Some updates:

Got some new wheels: Avant Garde M550s, 20x10.5 on Continental Extreme Contact DWs 275/35/20.

I did a photoshoot with Dale, which is where most of these pictures came from a few from his buddy Riker. I am also now on AGs Customer's Rides section:

Love the plasti-dip tailight surround.

Thanks! I think it makes the tail lights look so much better. Keeps the flat black theme which is present throughout the car as well as takes a lot of the extra red away from the tail lights.

I am thinking about painting the gurney flat with plastidip as well.
