Awesome job!
Car looks GREAT!
Dunno why that guy said "automatic, really?"
Everyone has their preference.
Nothing wrong with an auto.
I personally prefer a manual.
Just adds so much more fun in my opinion.
Plus it feels so much more like I AM doing the controlling of the car
and how it behaves compared to an auto.
If you track your car, which I don't... I think it is also a lot funner.
You have more goals to set for YOURSELF as far as driving to get a better time.
Again... GREAT looking car my friend!
Major props to ya!
Great looking engine bay too!
Here's a post of our engine bay when we had the 06GT before trading it in for the GT500:

Thanks Blacksmoke, I'm real happy with it now that I removed the front badge. Don't race it all the auto does just fine as a DD. That engine bay is the 06 was awesome, but I'm sure the GT500 is great to drive.

Thanks for all the feedback. The emblem seemed good in theory but seemed a little "off" to me when installed, will be removing it when I get a chance.
=>alan0614 thanks, did the stripes myself, 3M vinyl. Originally thought I'd do copper stripes to match the saddle interior but went with the silver. Wanted to tie interior to exterior so I added copper 1/2 pinstripes to hood and decklid, and dual pinstripes along side of car following it's contour. Eventually will switch to painted stripes, but wanted to get a feel for the look first.
