Very nice! if anything could use a tad more tire height imo, but overall great package of parts & looks

Honestly, I have the same feelings. I think the rear definitely needs more tire height. But I couldn't find any tires that were taller but still the same width I wanted. Well, none that were in my price range. I probably could've found some michelins for 450 a piece but Im pretty satisfied with my hankooks. When it comes time to change em out Im hoping theres a greater selection of 19" tires. Tire selection is the only reason I wish I had gone 20s. Thanks for the compliment though. I try to keep it classy. Some new racing style parts are on my short list so the car is gonna change a bit.

Its a TR6060 out of a GT500 that I got from a salvage yard. I found it on car-part.com. It came in great shape and the biggest issue I had installing it was converting from an auto. That part was a bitch. ha All is well now though.

Oh that is exactly what I would love to do with mine. Do you have a build thread?

I don't. But I have enough pictures that I could probably make one if that'd help people out. If nothing else, we both live in Charlotte so if you get around to it I'd be more than happy to help. Do you have access to a lift? I don't know if I would have done it myself without one.

nice looking car. looks really good as is, although maybe youd want to consider a gt500 spoiler? also, why did you choose that finish of a wheel, with the front end/rockers being accented in flat black? where did you get the shift knob?

Ive been trying to decide what kind of spoiler I want. I really like the no spoiler look from some angles but not from others. I may get the v6/GT500KR spoiler. What I like about the GT500 spoiler is how it reaches rearward but I think its fat in profile. Im planning to make a spoiler that is similar to the RTR one. It reaches rearward but is slim in profile.

The other stuff Im adding is a splitter and a GT500 rear bumper to continue the flat black all the way around.

I chose these wheels simply because they looked nice. lol I was debating between an anthracite and matte black in other wheels. I still may trade up to some new wheels later. My track wheels will be matte black. But if you look close my wheels are not just machined aluminum but also painted black so they actually do go with the black theme. I like them because they stand out against the car. They aren't too blingy but also don't blend in.

I got the shifter ball and collar on Ebay from a seller named sickspeed. He makes 5 speed stuff too. Pretty good guy and I'd definitely recommend him.

2013 rear with 2012 front = sexiest car on this site. Congrats!

Only thing that could be better is 2013 GT500 rear

the gap from the 13 lights don't look to bad on the lighter cars! mind saying how much the bill was for the lights?


I remember someone saying it was around 1300 bucks and that was installing themselves. Certainly not cheap.
