Only GTs have heat extractors, not V6 models.
OP, nice car! If you want to brake up the gray, try tinting your windows, Plastidipping your wheels, and add some black stripes. That would totally break up the color and make it more appealing!

gloss black is ok, but i think the flat colors work better with the paint fleck since you are looking to contrast the base color vs. drawing too much attention to a secondary color
I love the way the matte black breaks it up, plus at twilight when it starts to change color the matte black starts to blend in a little more
Thanks! I think I'll plastidip the wheels and grille to switch it up a bit. If I don't like it, I can always take it off. As for the stripe, I have a black MCA decal running along the side. It was hard to see from these camera angles, though. I would put a big stripe right down the middle, but then I feel like the car may have an identity crisis as I want it to be more stealth and less race car.

I like the basic $149 charcoal wheels on American Muscle for the 2010-2013 models (at the top when you filter for '10-'13 wheels. If I end up getting them, I'll PM pics or post a thread. Gonna plasti-dip the wheels I have first (when I get the time) and can PM pics of that as well! That's why I may plasti-dip first, just to see how much I like them.

ok, i'll chime in...i own a 2012 GT in SGM
Accent Colors that will work with SGM (personal opinion)
Matte Black
Matte Grey
Red
copper
gold
silver
argent
purple
White i think is too distracting

as far as the wheels go, well...i had a hard time finding anything that i really liked.
ended up going with the Shelby CS70's in Matte Black and couldn't be happier...totally made the car and it's a not very common wheel
Check out Wheel Replicas or Cruizin Concepts to get some ideas.
I was pretty set on an all matte black wheel to contrast the color and mesh with the side moulding.

I like your car, but I noticed the emblem missing on the left side immediately.
