The "04 GTO"

Many have stated on this board that they felt the styling of the GTO was somewhat bland (me included)...I've said a couple of times that if they had used a 2dr version of the present GP it would have looked much better (keep the V8/RWD of course)...so I figured it was time to put mouse where my mouth is. I give you the 2004 Pontiac GTO PaintShop Edition (pace car version to follow)

Oh my Bat-Brains!!! @#$*%!...this is what I get for rushing thru...I was trying to get this one finished before I headed out to work today. I uploaded it to Photobucket before I left the house and posted it here after I got to work. I just now noticed that I didn't finish off the side window where I moved the door post. I'll fix it tonight and repost the image. Sorry guys. It must have been a Bruce Wayne kind of day. (or maybe I should say an Adam West day)

Yeah, it needs that T-bat flair to it that we have come to enjoy.

Oh you mean it's not one of those new windows that tint only where the sun hits it? Oh and stretch the door jamb back a touch more. The doors on the two doors are huge.

I went with the stock wheels on the first chop, but I did enlarge them. I guess what I'm going for here is a very factory look, not something wildly custom. I did however download some pics of the GP Inferno project car which I think is way hot! So I gave that one a shot. The GTO Inferno!

Its so weird sometimes how I can blend certain areas on a chop and they look great on my PC here at home, but as soon as I post them on the site, every little line shows up!

GRRRR!
