04 Pontiac GTO detail pics

[1 Clean WS6]

Hello all!!



The local tuner shop (RP Motorsport) that I do a bunch of detail work for had me detail their new project vehicle today...an 04 Pontiac GTO. Being a big Poncho fan this was one of those "leave me alone I`m having fun details". The interior of the new GTO is AWESOME and the overall look of the car is growing on me though I still have trouble calling a rebadged Aussie car a "Goat". This particular ride already had a custom NX nitrous system, cold air intake kit and TSW 19" rims installed. The guys at the shop said it will soon be receiving a custom fabricated fiberglass hood along with a cylinder heads and cam package.



The detail process was as follows:



Wash with Gold Class wash



Polish with Meg`s #83 DACP with my PC set at 5 using a Meg`s 8006 pad. The Goat had some very light swirling that #82 would have removed but had a bunch of dealer detail jockey rotary holograms...so I just went over the whole car with the #83.



Seal with Meg`s #20 with my PC set at 4 using a Meg`s 8006 pad.



Enjoy!!



Mike

Looks good... If you would`nt have said what kind of car it is though, I swear I thought that 1st pic was a cavalier with dubs on it. The rest really show off the nice lines of the GTO...

Great job!! I`m with grt1today though. The new GTOs look like every other ride out there.

Just my 2 cents worts.

Awesome job!!! :xyxthumbs

Detail looks great!! Nice subtle mods already...The rims really look sweet.



I agree with the others though...The look is very generic, but I know that thing has balls.

It looks much better than the pix I have seen in the auto mags.



Are those aftermarket or OE wheels?

[Anthony O.]

Very nice results.....I first thought it was a Euro car of some sorts!

Thank you all for the kind words!!



I agree...the new GTO is indeed bland looking but is one of those cars that you truly need to see in person. It still doesn`t make me jump up and say "I need that" but it does grow on you.



tom p. those are aftermarket rims that were custom fabricated/machined to fit the GTO.



Anthony IT IS an international car (not Euro but Australian) called the Holden (GM`s international only division) Monaro that was rebadged and given a slight facelift then called a GTO and brought here to America.

Sweet! I would have rather done that today than the Rolls Phantom I had this morning....that damn thing is freakin` huge! Besides, I`ve already cleaned it a few times, but haven`t even seen a new GTO in Dallas yet.



Did you get to take it for a spin?

Well, GM has Vauxhall and Opel, too. I hear they`re rebadging some of these cars as Saturns for the US market.



Nice job with the detail. The aftermarket alloys make it even more generic looking... perfect for a sleeper. No one expects a Corvette engine with such a plebian body. If only it were $5K cheaper so it would be somewhat competitive.
