Different blue, but you get the idea

Oh good god, is he back?

My day consisted of changing cabin filter… thing liked and smelled terrible. And removing stock spoiler and installing cftp spoiler. Love the way it looks.

all you need now is a set of CF wheels.

Patrick: Your original post had to have THE MOST UPLOADS, EVER! <chuckling> Sorry to say, none of those float my bote and no offense. I like to give a vehicle a name so my simple solution was..

KB, not to be too anal but you’re missing a plate screw (bottom right). Hopefully it didn’t find one of your tires (had that happen before)

Thinking about either of these SV703 or the SV902…. But not sure. Discussing with Terrance atm. Still may try to get my SV109 that I had made for the gt350 fit the 500. And put these 500 wheels on my gt350. Leaning towards the
Reserved Series SV902

<grinning> The DI would have been most proud of you Mark for your attention to detail! Impressive.

But, that's an old photo (and one on which I never noticed the missing screw.) I have since fixed the situation and used those large, black caps to cover the screws this time.

I need to update that plate photo. <smile> Thanks for the heads up.

Well, after looking at the photos above, I'd have to say, black car, blue stripes, red calipers, and red tail lights.

Yea, nice wheels. I have a set. I don't mean anything here except to arm you with info. What happens if you curb them? I did. There are two options. Buy a new wheel at a discounted price, or, have that wheel powder coated. I had a simple gloss black. I opted for having it powder coated, thinking how could it possibly get messed up. It didn't turn out that nice. Now throw in some exotic color that your local powder coater won't be able to reproduce. Heck, my local expert couldn't even duplicate gloss black.

Again, nice wheels, just understand what you are buying into. Nothing more to it.

Well car passed inspection after I peeled off all the window tint in the parking lot. Next step will be title and registration and she will be ready to hit the road to the detail shop for a full… and I mean FULL… detail, paint correction, ppf you name it. Wondering if I should just do the front end ppf or maybe all panels where the painted stripes cross. Hood, roof, rear trunk bumpers… I guess at that point should just do the entire car. Or just do a nice ceramic coating and call it good?

I did the whole car. Be seated when he gives you the price. The paint these days is pretty thin. Protect at a minimum of the front end, hood, A-pillars, leading edge of roof, rear impact areas, rocker panels, and front fenders.

Ceramic really doesn't protect the paint. It sure does keep it looking nice and washes real well.

Thanks for saving this GT500 from an unfortunate hard life, I too foster a GT500!!!

Anybody know how to remove these black tail light covers? Safely

Are they plastic covers? What do they look like under the trunk? Some are just held in with Velcro, others have little tabs that snap over the taillights.

I believe they’re plastic covers. When I get up close and grab it I can wiggle each individual cover. I believe there is three on each side but holy hell they’re on good. I’ve looked for an edge but it’s right up against the tail light housing. Afraid of scratching it. I saw Amazon had some that stick on with some 3m tape that are individual pieces. But again, I’ve pulled as hard as I think I can before something may break. No luck.

Yeah those sound like a few I’ve seen. They’re individual pieces and are held on with 3M velcro. If you have a heat gun or hair dryer, heat them up a bit to get the glue on the velcro strips warm
