I'm actually in Boston right now. Coming home tonight. I'll try and get them on soon though. The car needs some work before they go on.

Car looks awesome! Good call on swapping hoods, it will make it look better until you get some paint.

They look good man. Why remove tints though?
I bet those wheels would look real good with the center painted gray.

I just swapped out for some ceramic pads, and I did some research on wheel waxes a few weeks ago. I'll likely order some next week.
As for removing the tints, it's really a combination of factors. Three main reasons actually: vision at night, cops, and both sides have tears in them. Additionally, while I think they look good, my buddy hates them and he nags me about it. It will be nice to end that nagging (he lurks this forum so I'm sure he'll read this actually).
Thanks for the compliments guys. They look far better in person than in those crummy pics.

Meh. I value certain people's opinion. It was more of a nudge to do what I was wanting to do for a long time.

Also forgot to post up about two other recent mods. GTO seats and a Grant wheel. Makes the car so much nicer to drive. Lot's of vibrant colors on the car now.

Is that an mgw shifter? If so how do you like it? Thinking about getting one on those to replace my b&m.

I love it. Mine replaced my B&M. The feel is far more positive and the throws are much shorter. I never ran a Pro 5.0, but I like it far better than the stock hurst with a short stick and B&M.

The rears are in the attic. I hate having rear seats so I didn't bother trying to put them in.

Tough. Really tough. Took a ton of problem solving to get it to work (considering my level of ability). It was worth it in the end though. I didn't take many pics as I worked because a ton of it was guess and check, but I'll try and explain the steps involved. I don't think anyone on LS1tech was able to get them in at stock height like I did. Since I eliminated all the guess work, it should be easy for anyone trying to do it from here.
So I used Sparco sliders and Scat/Procar F-body specific mounts. To mate the seat to the sliders, I had to remove the GTO power seat mechanism and mounts. I then cut into the wiring and left only the power and ground coming from the recline motor (which is built into the seat). The seat and recline motor combo is less than 20 pounds. Not surprisingly, the bolts on the seat were slightly wider than the slider holes, and were much longer (about 3 inches). I then drilled out the front holes on the slider, and used flat aluminum stock that I had drilled holes 3 inches apart to bolt the seat to the sliders. I then had to dremel the ends of bolts coming from the seat to allow the slider to move up close enough for me to reach the pedals. Lastly, I used speaker terminals to attach the power and ground from the power recline motor (same as pictured below) to attach to the stock harness for the power seats; thus leaving me with manual sliding and power reclining seat that is not height adjustable. Oh, and I used the seatbelt bracket from a BMW Z4 so my seatbelt doesn't go across my face (see above). The end result is a super comfy seat with decent bolsters that isn't like sitting on a phonebook. Rear seat legroom is now nonexistant by the way as the GTO seat is massive.

First off, the car looks great! The only way I think it could be better if those rims were on my car.
Second... GTO seats kick ass.
