Hey guys, my name is Jake, I'm 18, and I drive a 2005 Pontiac GTO.
I got the car a couple months back, and started modding it as you "should" mod a gto. It got a Vararam intake, Pacesetter long tube headers, muffler deletes, and a tune. I then tore it apart and added a Torquer V2 cam(232/234, .595/.598 110 LSA) PRC .675 dual valve springs, hardened pushrods, ported ls6 oil pump etc etc etc
Then I got bored. Sure I had a fast car, it was pretty fun, but it was ugly as hell...so what did I do?
A couple phone calls, a lucky score on some SSR type Cs, and a week of labor I had a GTO dropped on some wheels.
Wheel Specs: 18x9.5 et30 front et35 rear SSR type C.
Coilovers: Megan, rear perches removed, all collars in front, still have room to go here.

I then ran into the wall next to my house and dented the fender/scratched up the bumper so waiting to fix that.
Future plans... Lip, more low, 10mm spacers all around with extended studs, get off of these ebay lugs that I bought at the last minute, powdercoat the wheels, vinyl wrap the car.

So...here's how it sits today
I also run a photography/media/lifestyle/coverage company ( http://www.facebook.com/storage7photography ) so I'll be posting pictures on there of the build as well as my personal instagram @Jake_S7

we went out and shot it tonight but everything is on my buddies camera, I had just wrapped up shooting at Stancenation/Niese and couldnt be bothered to take pictures of my car

One I liked from the other night, was scouting spots for a couple shoots

Update: Dropped the car off at the body shop the other day to fix some front end damage. Getting the front emblem shaved as well as having the grilles painted body color while its there. Will post some pictures when I have it back

Theyre actually surprisingly affordable now. I paid $12,800 for mine with 63k miles on it, bone stock from some old man. They're definitely rare but not like one from the 60s is.

Welcome, can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thanks man, big plans in the works for it. Trying to get my fitment on point after I get it back, little sunk currently.

This happened the other day.
Ive been focusing on little dumb shit with the car, some little interior mods, nothing really major.
I picked up a set of 17x9 and 18x10 HREs, theyre probably gonna go on the car soon, lower, and then finally getting my wrap. Ive been looking into going air as well but likely not for a while
