Just Got My 2005 GT

Hi!

I am the proud owner of a new (To me) 2005 GT.

She spent a few days in the shop. But now she is home where she belongs!

TSB's so far.

Replace Fuel Tank- Slow Fill
New Upper Strut Mounts - Popping over bumps (This made the car so much more fun to drive, feels really solid now.)
Groan in the rear suspension - Not really sure what they did, installed alot of small parts.
Poping noise in the back - Adjust trunk hinges and install rubber isolater

I have to say this car is the most fun I have had in years!

Can anybody give me any info on these wheels?

Thanks!

Careful! I've had my 05 GT for 2 1/2 years now and I STILL find myself looking back as I walk away to admire the view! especially after I have given her a good bath and detailed her!

Oh, and welcome to the club!

First Mod complete!

Installed one set of H10 hyper yellow bulbs in the fogs. Got them off ebay for $2.00. Japanese made so I can't read the label!

Looks killer!

The install went alot easier than I was lead to believe. Remove radiator cover. Pop out the 2 top tabs on the grille and rotate forward releasing the 2 bottom tabs. Install bulbs. Took 5 minutes!

I will post a photo later.
