Default Just grabbed an 07 GT premium with 64k on clock

So I seem to be project hungry. While my 2002 Vert is in for Paint I decided to drop some coin on a used 07 with 64k on the clock.

Already had a pypes catback system installed, so that saved some coin there, changed Alternator out today... now I have to work some wheels suspension and other tweaks.

Very nice. Alloy? That's what my '07 is. In different light, look closely into the paint. You'll see green, purple, gold and a few other colors of flakes. Very unusual, IMO.

...and I see clear front turn signals, shorty antenna... Looks like the previous owner took some pride. Congrats.

Yes and no... they did do some things but the paint they didn't take great care of... lot of scratches and knicks, and the interior has a broken passenger side vent, so I have to track down a new one, and either the detail shop who cleaned it sucked *** or they were dirty, there is a lot of gunk around the shifter bezel.

Otherwise it runs great and drives straight, seems to have been well maintained for oil changes as I pulled the cap and it is cleaner than the virgin mary.

I am trying to figure out where the rims came from, I had an 07 Alloy back in 07, one of my favorite colors, and I had the 5 spoke chrome wheels.

At least It came with new tires, Bridgestone affinity series.

Thanks, actually is my second alloy...

my 1st was also an 07, I used in my 2nd zombie film I produced. I started look ing at old photos of her the other day and opted to search one out.

Nostalgia is a bitch.

Forgestar CF5s, 18x9.5".

I just replaced my Pypes exhaust with a Kooks catback. The Pypes never fit properly and started to get some rust, just FYI.
