why are you putting on all those body parts if your going for a gt look all you need is hood scoop, side scoops, and rear bumper cover everything else is identical?

headlights - they have gotten that grimy look
side mirrors - sun damage
spoiler - GT spoiler looks better
dual exhaust - goes with the GT rear bumper cover and gives it that GT sound
front bumper cover - driving in a storm and a tree fell right in front me and messed up the front end a little
fog lights - just want em on there:]
paint - has some sun damage and when i put new stuff on i want the paint to match

post pics of your car or let us know what color.

1. get black crome headlights from americanmuscle.com or ebay

2. just get the mirrors painted when you get the car painted.

3. get a 2004 spoiler off of a gt or v6. in my opinion they are the best looking, they sit off the trunk lid but are not flamboyent.

4. do alot of looking around and asking before you pick a front bumper cover, and exhaust set up

You will never get the GT sound with a v6. Hate to break it to you.

unless you completely build the engine and run open headers... so far that's the only way i've found.

OP if you want a more aggressive sounding sixxer then get Mac l/ts, o/r h pipe, and flow 40s..this will give you a better sound IMO..I have this setup and I along with many others love the way my car sounds..bit the main thing to realize is that no matter what exhaust setup you go with it will always have that distinct 6cyl sound.
