2006 GT - Progress thread!

How's it driving with that setup? Car looks fantastic. Love the rims. Not a big fan of BBS (or similar styled) rims in general, but those may have sold me.

Drives like a dream! The H&Rs are a little stiffer than stock but setting the Tokickos to the softer setting compensates for that nicely without getting spongy. It takes corners like a champ now, and with the stiffer LCAs there's NO wheel-hop at all. This thing gets up and goes! Can't wait to get slicks and see what she does at the track now! Last time I went was before the intake, gears, and suspension and I was running 13.8s

I think next up will be CMDPs, and headers!

yeah that chin spoiler keeps getting scraped up... dropping it with H&Rs didn't help that problem much either

I'll have to come up with an innovative way to keep it looking good after I repaint it.

That rockguard stuff isn't bad.... I'm sure you could just wrap the chin spoiler only.

Details please! Do you mean the clear bra stuff?

I was thinking of that - or wrapping the bottom part of the chin spoiler in black vinyl vehicle wrap.

Where did you get your smoked corners? I've been looking for something like those. I don't want any amber on it.. just plain like the headlights. That is how they are set right?
