I am so happy now. My QSM is looking way better without the wing. Also happy now that all the badges on the car are gone. Way cleaner look. What do you guys think?
Only for the Ricer Rally. Ricers. Usually, the only stickers the car wears are the little 'RMGTO.com' stickers on the rear quarter windows, unless I'm going to the Ricer hangout.
I'll be damned, dude, but my car doesn't usually get a whole lot of attention. But as soon as I drove it around with the stickers on it, heads were turning like they were on swivels. :lol:
Even in Vegas, where you'd think a sight like that would be a daily thing.
LOL, that's funny...guess people must be thinking why is a race car on the street (with the stickers) vs. oh just another loud cavalier or G6 (w/o), lol. Just goes to show about packaging and how they got away with pushing all this chinese junk our way (just so long as it "looks" like something, rather than being something of substance [not saying this about your car btw, but think you get what I mean]).
I just bought some inlays for the Pontiac emblems from GrafxWerks. Are the Pontiac logos easy to remove from the vehicle? My GTO is in storage so it's not exactly convenient for me to go check on how to remove them at the moment....
I agree! I think! LOL I hate some of the cars I see w/o it, and then every once in a while, I see one that's not to bad (I like the one of markpetersonii above from that angle). But that's a rarity.
Sometimes I'm glad I drive a mostly stocker, as I don't get bothered that much and especially by the buzzing rice-types...I'd say I got more 'attention' with people wanting to race when I had my V for some reason, but it was usually the AMG and M's (german cars are way overrated in mags on their actual performance on the street, lol...not slow, but not nearly as fast as you'd think; obviously there are a couple exceptions, but this has been my observation when I had my 06 GTO and my V).
Last car I had that was "loud" was my chevelle, but that thing is so lopey and mean sounding with big old meats in the back, most people don't bother (I miss driving that thing).
If I was running power like you (600+) in the GTO, I wouldn't mind it sounding the part, but until then, I don't want more bark than bite...I mean, these are not slouches even stock and even with "only" say 400-450 rwhp they move well, but you know what I mean. Not saying I don't want to hear it (even stock), but just not overly so and it's hard to get that balance.
On topic though - as far as spoiler less, I am mixed on that...some cars look real good like that and especially on certain angles, but for some reason my IBM didn't (test fit w/o) and about the only thing that stands out on the purple one is the spoiler.
I like my 04 much more without the spioiler. If I had hood scoops I would leave the spoiler on. Much more cleaner look for the 04's when you go without the spoiler.
I did the same thing and I like the look a lot. My rear badge was faded really bad. So I bought the reflective concepts inlay and painted the badge satin black.
Bought the car and replaced the punisher stickers with some stock ones - painted them red, taped the sides and shot the middle with black. Two coats of semi gloss clear and this is what I have now.
