I like it better how it is now.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

eh... I would say just do the whole top half of the car gloss black

 

[99PONTIACGP]

OR... leave it stock

Can't say I'm digging the paint schemes, though I'm not an appearance guy by any means and prefer a clean look. I'd slap an 05 bumper on it, Holden taillights, some ballin' CCW rims and then cam it.

 

[630_GTO]

i cant just make the top half gloss, is still have to redo what is matte black, and im liking the 1st idea, the 2nd one is one i just threw in there

 

[630_GTO]

im not paying almost 300 for the holden VX tails, although they are sexy, not worth it, and the 05 bumper i can get a DMS one for just a bit more

silver and black is becoming played out... silver with some nice chrome stuff, looking super clean still makes me a happy kid. id leave it how it looks and get some chrome badass wheels for it. tailights and call it.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I would just leave it stock. I have never seen any paint jobs on a GTO that I liked, and werent a solid color.

I'd leave it as it sits now. The black on silver scheme doesn't look quite right to me.

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

Leave it and tint the windows.

$300 for VX tails? IIRC my buddy paid $90 for his.

 

[RebelGTP]

The only thing that would do for this is the back... the Roof and hood stuff would make it look to "Charger-ish"

Here's the rear done in a manner that is not too obnoxious...

 

[EmersonHart13]

Leave it as is.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

That rear looks alright. The rest is not really looking too good. It's like a Berger panel....there's a red gto that just joined that has a similar thing goin on out back.

Do they make like a subtle cowl hood or something? Not a fan of the scooped one but something to give it more style

I was never one for appearance mods really. This is the first car I've ever bought an appearance mod for

 

[TransHed]

I think it would look much better with a chrome lip on the rims, different hood, 05 or 06 rear bumper and a spoiler on it... but then again I like aggressive style.. or else id drive a Formula, not a Trans Am lol.

If you're going to paint it black... paint it allllllllll black.

 

[Csurane24]

I would say go for it with the deck lid, leave everything else alone. This is how mine looks with gloss black.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

See that looks sweet.

 

[Csurane24]

I'm a JHP lip spoiler away from being done with the back end. Minus the tint of course

 

[TransHed]

That does look good.

 

[630_GTO]

1. my personal opinion, chrome on silver, not a fan, 2 contrasting colors

2. fish if your friend got those for 90 hes a silo full of douchery because that is a steal

3. tinting the windows will only be done if i repaint everything otherwise there will be flat black and gloss black on the car making it look dumb, IMO

4. thanks for making the pic but having the flat black rear conenct to gloss tails would look crappy, IMO

5. had a spoiler on it, and took it off for a reason, had the 05 hood, sold it, the 05 rear is nice, but id rather just spend the money to have another hole cut in the other end,

 

[Csurane24]

Not thread jacking here but it looks way to plain with just tinted tails.

 

[Riski]

Leave it how it is......looks like rice to me all done like that

 

[1998gpgt]

The only thing that would do for this is the back... the Roof and hood stuff would make it look to "Charger-ish"

Here's the rear done in a manner that is not too obnoxious...

looks like a raccoon to me

Don't flat black it... I couldn't get the proper effect in P-Shop... refer to pic posted by Csurane24
