I really like that front chin spoiler which I'm adding to my list of mods. Now I believe the answer is kind of obvious but I need to ask anyways, does it reduce ground clearance a little? Planning on lowering my car 1 to 1.5" so if I also add the chin spoiler that could be a concern.

Looks nice but I would have kept the MCA wheels on it. They look better in my opinion.

yes it does, you'll just have to cut corners and drive carefully.

ehh the contrast is what makes them look decent. certain angles of the wheel make them look good. however overall it's not as nice.

Nice mods! I really like that new chin. If only I was local to you, I would've bought those MCA wheels.

Looks good, now the one final step to make it look like "not a V6" is to go to some aftermarket mufflers. The stockers in the GT500 fascia just dont look right.

I did the dual conversion on my '10 V6. Using a stock GT lower valence, and 2010 GT mufflers, it really improved the looks IMHO. These tips look a lot better than the '11 V6 mufflers/tips.

Yes i"m aware of that, and that's my next step. Either get a axle back kit or buy some bigger tips. i'm just not sure what size the stock tips are and what the max i can fit in the openings.

I've been looking at those wheels, but in Black. Did you get the same width all the way around?

Looks incredibly clean. Wheels in the pics almost look color matched.
