New guy checking in to say hey

Hello all, signed up a little bit ago and wanted to say hey from Southern NJ.

About 2 1/2 months ago I traded in my 07 Grabber Orange GT for a 2014 GHIG GT premium. The 07 was really fun to drive but the 14 is far and away the better car.

The 5.0 revs are smooth and quick and the shifting is much better than the 07. I know the MT82 is a little maligned on the boards but I can honestly say I have had 0 problems. Got the track pack, comfort pack and rear camera (Which I found out is nearly useless in full sun as it's in the mirror)

Current minor mods are GT500 mufflers, MMD quarter louvers, Boss 302 Grille (Kept the stock fogs), Street Scene Gen II chin. Windows are tinted 35% all around. Added some hood spears too.

Future mods will be centered on suspension and new wheels and tires. It's a daily driver so I need some all seasons up here.

A couple of pics of the 07 (Wish I could have kept it):





And some pics of the GHIG














Happy Friday all!

Welcome!
And congrats on the new ride. You picked the fastest and best color of them all too! (I'm biased! lol) Enjoy that bad boy.

Congrats on the new purchase. That is a stunning color and will be a favorite for a very long time. That chin spoiler is growing on me.

Welcome to The Source. I understand how you feel. I gave up my '05 for an '11 and although the '11 is a superior car in every way, I still miss my '05. My girlfriend and I really like the GHIG, but I HHIR

Thumbs up

Welcome to TMS. Both are gorgeous, but the GHIG colour co-ordinates better with the background

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

It is true that it's difficult to take good pics of this color, it never seems to come out quite right.

As for the chin spoiler, I think it's right on for this car. It follows the lines perfectly. With painting it was a bit much but well worth it for me.

Thanks again all!

I'm not sure I've seen a car that kept the stock fogs with the Boss grille, and I like it! That's one of the reasons I haven't wanted to upgrade my grille; I like the fogs.

Welcome and congrats on the new ride! Looks awesome. Bet you still can't wipe the grin off your face when you drive it.

Still happens to me every time I put mine in gear.

The grille needs some slight mods to fit right. Remove 2 tabs at the bottom of the fog ligh opening and some adjustments in the upper outer corners of each opening where it makes contact with the lights.
I really wanted to keep the fogs as they are a part of the car's character.

Thanks for all of the positive comments everyone!
