    This is my first GTP, and i love it. When i got it I clay barred it twice and many coats of way later it looks pretty good. I'm slowly modifying it. Started with a DYI CAI, now I have the ZZP box, got it at a junk yard , just put the F-body brakes upfront, polished them so they look awesome, GXPs in the rear polished as well. Car is lowered on GMPP struts and Eibach springs, and STB front and back. I have SD headers, a 3.4 press on, ported supercharger, a 180 tstat, overkill tuned.

    I installed new (to me) projectors

    The car looks ten times better than when I saw you three weeks ago! Looks like its coming along nice... Hit me up when you do the lights. I'm currently working on my retrofit setup. I might be able to help you out with some advice if you like what you see when I done.

    Hey what did you use on your tips to get the shinny finish? I used a paint stripping pad, it looks good. Although not as shinny as yours.

    I sanded them down and polished the hell out of them, started with 400 grit, then 600, then 800, then 1000, annd mothers aluminum polish, my goal is to gem them real nice this summer and clear coat them, I saw a car that had them polished and had to have them.
