| Thanks for all the compliments! To answer the questions, yep, its supercharged, and the exhaust tips are OEM 76-81 trans am. They are on both sides along with V Force mufflers. The wheels are OEM Ford Mustang, with aftermarket center caps. | |

| Love that car. Looks really clean. Rims are a great fit and those tips are exactly what I want to do with my car.  Who's GP is that in the background? Looks like a SD spoiler on it. | |

5x114.3 bolt pattern is available in almost every wheel style out there - use hubcentric rings and torque wheel nuts carefully! _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| Yes, both of those cars in the picture are kick-ass. They are my favorite models to own and mod the hell outta. I like that they're both two door coups. One is the ultimate luxury and the other is Pontiac sport muscle! I really was wanting that same exact GTP but ran across a sweet blk. Riv and I couldn't pass it up. I like your idea with the exhaust tips and would like to hear a sound clip too! | |
