PETE!!!

Yep, finally got the Monaro sidemarkers installed. It definitely wasn't easy as you'd think it would be. But it's all done now, so I'm a happy camper. I still have a few more things to do on the exterior, but I just consider the car a work-in-progress.

Thanks again you guys!

Bob, the spoiler is from JHP...they're an Aussie company that specializes in Holden parts, both for Oz and America. It's one of their personal designs.

Shaq, the camera is a Nikon D40. I'm still working on my photog skills. A lot of it's still hit or miss.

How do you like the GTO? What mods have you done to it? Looks good.

From what he says he loves it, and all he has is a Corsa Sport Exhaust. I don't know where he ran off too, but maybe he'll give you some more insight whenever he gets on here again.

Car looks great! How much for the wing? Did it come presprayed blue? I think at this point you have to remove the GTO from the calipers. my .02

Hey, sorry for the delayed response man. I made a mental note to come back to this thread after I saw your reply, but as you can see, my mental notes clearly aren't worth a damn.

Anyway, I love the car to death. I had a mint 99 M3 that I spent an absolute fortune on getting it just the way I wanted, only to sell it when it was almost perfect. Needless to say, I have no regrets. The GTO is such a fun car and a hell of a GT. I have a feeling it'll always be in my garage.

Thanks man. The spoiler was $380...unpainted. And like I said, the car will always be a work in progress...lots of little annoying tid bits to replace...but I'll eventually get it all, right down to a new key fob and manuals.
