That's going to look good. Maybe do a different hood, though.

You need to find out the offset of the wheel. The bolt pattern will work. The rear wheel is a little wide. You would definitely need to roll your rear fenders. Why not just go 18x8.5 all the way around? I have seen one guy with this style wheel in 19's and they have a nice lip on them.

Love the wheels dude.

I agree with Corey though, not a big fan of the WS6 hood.

I think your plans are good 2Phast but you may have a lot of prep on the WS6 hood which may include using stock latch if they don't ship you one like they did to me. I also had a problem with my hoods alignment and I've taken it to 3 body shops in my area and none of them can seem to get it correct.

On the other hand if you do put on the WS6 hood you will be the first here with a GTP to have one.

well my gf bought it for me as a gift and her dad owns a body shop so he said he would do it =] Lucky me. When i got it he said it was a peice of crap and we went to return it. They refunded the money and then never came to pick it up like they said they would.... so i basically got it for free so i figured the the heck its been a year they havent picked it up or sent a box or anything so ill just put it on haha. It didnt come with a latch but im thinking about using pins. whats your opinions? other than its not the best hood.


Also i was thinking about painting the top of the scoops black or something idk =/

Good plan. I'm not feeling about red brake light Pontiac rear bumper. I think paint or decal letter is better. IMO.

No, +20 won't fit if the rims are 9.5" wide without rolling fenders and even then they may still hit on the strut... Barely if they are 8.5" even.
