Hi everyone...bought an 08 GT a couple weeks ago, and have been reading around the forums here. Great place, and great group of people here. I'm diggin the car, but have a few questions. Being used, the dealer didn't have a ton of info to offer.

Under the hood, the bulk of the electrical wiring is a vibrant blue, similar to the top of the motor. Is this normal stock, or something that someone modified?

I have the navigation system with the radio. I love the setup, but find the actual audio to be a bit dull. I'd like to upgrade this, but I don't want to change the actual head/navigation unit. Are the speakers easily accessible? Does anyone have a similar setup with suggestions on what they installed after market wise to get richer sound?

The pedals are all metal Steeda pedals, again is this aftermarket or an option they offered stock at the time?

I'd include pictures...but for the life of me can't find where to upload them at!

Thanks for any suggestions/insight!!

unsure about the wiring - need photos to comment

will let someone else answer the audio question

steeda is aftermarket, but steeda is super high quality - you are good there.

I am guessing the wiring is just a wire loom covering just to make it look a little nicer inside.

The OE wiring is your standard "funeral home black". The Steeda pedals are aftermarket.

Lets see if this works...below is a link to an image under the hood of the wiring mentioned....

Yup, engine bay dress up not OEM.

Ohhh, yeah that's aftermarket stuff. Looks like he attempted to paint the engine cover and fusebox too.

This is what it looks like stock:



Steeda pedals are aftermarket as well. There were upgraded pedals on the "premier trim package" that look like this:

Ha, shows how often I use forums...thanks for the pic upload help!

Anyone have any audio suggestions by chance?

Ha...I like the blue wiring, but I like the original engine covering better. Ahh well, was still a good deal and am lovin the ride!

I'm really digging the exterior! Good find! Don't know why the original owner had to paint the plenum cover and battery cover... they look great stock and it almost looks like he went with rattle cans...

As far as the speakers go, this guy's videos helped me out a lot, as well as the step by step guides that crutchfield gave (crutchfield.com).

The tricky part is unhooking the door pull cable. I cursed more at this stage than I did disassembling the rear interior getting to the back two speakers.
