RE: GT500 FRONT CONVERSION --- DONE!!!!!!!!! - 5/17/2008 9:04:28 PM    Vista Blue GT   Posts: 33 Joined: 6/2/2006 Status: offline quote: ORIGINAL: PERTANO No offense, but they're other ways to get rid of the large grill mounted lamps from a stock GT.  Changing over to aftermarket body panels is not posing because those panels have no association with expected performance.  When you choose to use a body part that is originally used on a GT500, it's because you want your car to look like a GT500.  It doesn't matter if you use a badge or tell people it's a GT.  When people see you on the streets they'll assume you have a GT500.  Since you don't, your car is a poser. There is nothing wrong with having a poser GT500......but don't get delusional about what you have.......it's a poser GT500. BTW, your car looks really good! The word "poser" is a load of BS irregardless of what the motivations are of the person who did it.  If anyone wishes to change the look of their vehicle because they have been inspired by one or more particular features they have seen on some other car I certainly don't believe that warrants labeling their motivation or their car as being a "poser".   That sounds a bit like borderline car "bigotry" to me.  If you really meant that "BTW, your car looks really good!" then why didn't you just leave it at that instead of making a couple of posts trying to "pursuade" people into thinking the car was a "poser"?

RE: GT500 FRONT CONVERSION --- DONE!!!!!!!!! - 5/17/2008 9:24:50 PM    Vista Blue GT   Posts: 33 Joined: 6/2/2006 Status: offline MELLOWYELLOW06 - I really like what you did. The only suggestion I have is to drop the side "bot" badges and faux gas cap emblem for the Cobra side badges and GT500 faux gas cap emblem.  Though with this particular "bot" emblem may have some personal meaning to you or provide some sort of "personal touch", I think it really distracts from the duplication you are trying to accomplish.  The "personal touch" you might be seeking is the fact that you have pretty darn near nailed the looks down of a GT 500.  If you want to add "personal touch" then do it on the car's interior where you are going to live most of your driving life. You come this far with the duplication process that if I were you I certainly would have used the proper Cobra badging as well. I am curious as to why you didn't use a roots style blower as the power-adder? < Message edited by Vista Blue GT -- 5/18/2008 1:40:14 AM > (in reply to MELLOWYELLOW06) Post #: 315

Man...let the guy explore his artistic and self-creative dreams without having to contend with remarks and reactions such as yours... I didnt post till now but I'll say if the guy has his picks up for seeing what people think there is nothing wrong with hearing the negative side as well as the positive. He's got to be able to take both opinions if he is looking to show his car. So as to your post here to the guy saying negative things I'll return it with this. Man... let the people give their honest opinions, he can explore his self creative dreams but when you post pics on a forum showing your car off you have to be willing to take both sides of opinions and not only be looking for what you want to hear. Saying that... here is my opinion. I like the conversion minus the GT500 snake badge. When you badge something you are stating the symbol for what the car is. It doesn't matter that you have built up your engine. Fact is that it's not a GT500. I just don't understand why people try to badge their cars to make them something else. If you want to put autobot badges fine... everyone knows it ain't a real transformer... but I just don't understand trying to fool people into thinking your car is a GT500. But then again, it really does'nt matter what I think. It is YOUR car and you have every right to do with it as you wish. I'm just stating my opinion. _____________________________ 2006 GT Premium, 5 Spd 18" Roush wheels on 275/40/18''''s Xenon quarter scoops SLP Crew Member ...more to come (in reply to MELLOWYELLOW06) Post #: 319
