From order to completion it took a total of five months but she is done. I will continue to add parts as they become available from Steeda but for now, what a thrill it is to drive

What do you think?

Very nice! Have you done any engine mods? Just curious, If I remember right you were going for the exterior first. Right?

Car looks awseome! What is up with the spoiler though? Have I gotton old (30) or is it just a matter of taste. Dont get me wrong but that spoiler IMO is a bit too much. It makes me think that its gonna start flying after 60 MPH :scratch:

Looks sweet, don't get the F-18 wing on the back - did you have to do that to cover the holes for the stock spoiler? But the car looks very nice. That had to be a lot of work and money to start from a stock GT. Good job!

Beautiful car! Wow, you have done a ton of work and it came out great. People must be breaking their necks to watch you go by. No offense, but I also think the wing detracts rather then enhances the look. But wonderful job!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is a factory built Steeda. Looks awesome, I've said from the start that I like this tuner better than any of the others. Yea, some people don't like the spoiler, but hey, I think it looks awesome.

Better practice your police communcation though, I'm betting you get to know all of them in your town QUITE well VERY soon.

Thanks for your opinions guys

This was not a Steeda built car but rather a nice little project. Is the wing a little big? yes, but it was made to be a close copy of the SEMA car. I think it could have been a little lower and angled back over the bumper but either way I like it. In fact, it wouldn't be the same car without the high wing.





The police???? ya, met 'em tonight. I think the guy in the Cobra was in a lot more trouble.

As you can see the body is done, I also have most everything I want for the interior except the shifter bezle advertised for the sema SYQ but not released by Steeda yet. I have some of the suspension started (Sport Springs) and exhaust but I still need the rest. For engine mods I am torn, I plan on the dress up items and possibly the cold air and a tune. I will order the lower control arms this week. Where does a guy stop?

At the poor house?

Car looks great! I'm usually not a fan of the oversized spoiler but it just fits the look of the car so well. Two thumbs up.

I like everything but:

Why did you put tire advertisement on the front? Are they paying you for that? It is a eyesore.

Why the Wing? Did you notice the Grand Am winning Mustang was wingless?
