Stance noob GTO build

[GTOguy]

Made the decision today to strip the plastidip off of my wheels tomorrow. My car may be covered in snow when I wake up so I guess I may have to let it thaw in the garage.

Dang nice components! Center caps look pretty sweet!

there was a GTO at H20i and it looked really good, you're on a good start can't wait to see it done up : D

Personally I prefer the Monaro front bumper. If you could source a Coupe4 kit that would be cool.

Thank you.

Thanks. I'm hoping it turns out nice.

I like it as well. With the new Chevy SS out I may do the Chevy Lumina SS conversion like the car was in the middle east just to throw some people off but show the connection that is there. Yes I understand one of the fronts is the Monaro front bumper with the chevy badge

One of these 2 fronts.

go Coupe4 (shown below).. the flares and all... you could get some awesome wheels/stance happening

I think the GTO is a great platform to build on, but I echo the sentiments of some of the others here: Bigger is better. I think 18's would fill up those wheels wells quite nicely.
Keep at it!

Barf Terrible Haute. Sorry to hear lol.

I LOL'd.

I love the coupe4 body but the kit from JHP is like 12k for it. I could have another GTO for 12k lol. So unless I keep this car and drop a ton of money into engine work etc I couldn't justify that kind of money being spent on unnecessary body work.

After having the enkei's on I am partially thinking this as well.

After I got most of the plastidip off I went down to a park. I am no photographer and these were just taken with an iPhone but I think it looks a lot better.

Clear coat stripped curb rash sanded back



wheels sitting on jack stands to hold them together behind the car they look similar in color.

As am I. I'm excited to get them on the car.

Do it! Will look like a completely different car.

Even when they were covered in curb rash, peeling clear coat, tarnished bolts, and big tires with the car sitting a lot higher they looked amazing. With the car on the ground they should look amazing. I also picked up a heat gun today so i can work on rolling the fenders...
