My 05 GT Build LOTS OF PICS & PARTS!
 
Here it is at the dealership before I bought it.

First thing I did was have the windows tinted. I went with 13% SolarGard all around. It's hard to see in this picture cause it was raining.


Installed Tokico HP struts and shocks as well as Eibach Prokit Springs. This lowers it 1.5". I also tinted the front and rear side markers.



Tokico HP Shocks and Struts.
Eiback Prokit
And here they are installed

Installed MBRP mufflers today. Also installing new headers and X-pipe with high flow cats.

MBRP Axlebacks
Here they are installed.


I Was having an issue with "wheel hop" so I ordered J&M lower control arms which solved it.



J&M Lower control arms.
Here they are installed.


Now some people think I am crazy but I hate leather seats. So I ordered new OEM cloth covers and swapped them.


Here is the original grey leather seats.
And here is they new black cloth ones. They are still a little wrinkled from packaging.
I wanted to change the carpet to match the black seats. I was worried how the black would look but I think it turned out nice since there is quite a bit of black in the interior to begin with.


Interior ripped out and ready for new carpet.
New carpet installed.
Interior reinstalled.

Picked these up this morning. Install looks to be a bit of a pain so I will plan a whole day for it.

Today I installed a relay which disables the traction control system when you start the car. It's still fully functional but just defaults to off now.

Installed them today in just under 4 hours. Not the best video. They sound much better in person.

I still have the C&L Intake, Magnaflow X-pipe and BBK 62mm throttle body to go performance wise. Also changing the rims to black saleens, replacing the spoiler with a Roush 3 piece and installing a CDC lip. I am sure I will come up with more to.

Not sure how it performs yet as it's away for winter awaiting a dyno tune.
