Project Rocket *holypoop load of pics!*
Ok, so I figured I haven't posted on here in forever and I'm bored so I'd post a complete build thread. Enjoy 
Stock Specs:
2006 G5 Pursuit coupe Base
2.2 145hp
5 speed manual
Grey cloth interior
35% tint
Aftermarket Sunroof (but it came with the car when I got it)
Next I removed the side mouldings
Next was tinting the tails. Done with VHT and Clear coat and debadged.
Then it got retinted by Aspen Autosound putting 20% over my 35% and 30% on the windshield.
Next was the aftermarket headlights. I believe they're 2nd gen projectors. As well as a Pioneer Avic D3 headunit.
Then Rims and tires. The rims are ALT Sonix Black and the tires are BF Goodrich G-force KDW 225/45/17
Lowered on Eibach Sportlines (but no pics of it prior to the next step).

Then came the big dog stuff.
It got sent out to Paint werx to get two toned, black ontop and the stock silver on the bottom. A pin stripe in between the two colors and an airbrushed shadow. The black and the pin stripe was carried onto the headlights and the pinstripe faded out towards the end of the headlights.
They also installed a G5 GT front bumper, cobalt ss/sc front and rear diffuser and side skirts.
Then we installed leather SS heated seats and TWM Performance short throw shifter with weighted gun blue shift knob. Cobalt gauges.
Then came the engine mods. Faux Granite Ported eaton M62, dual pass endplate, stage 2 injectors, harness, belt and pulley. Over the top performance heat exchanger. SS/SC exhaust. Faux granite fuse box cover and valve cover. Trifecta tuned.
It's now got power windows and locks. SS leather door panels. Faux granite dash trim to match the engine.
No pics of the doors just yet.
That's all for now. We have a 2.8 pulley and 60lb injectors waiting to go in. We're also going to need to upgrade the clutch as it can't handle the new power. We'd eventually like to suede the headliner.

LOL I was jsut joking. I want to put some pics of my car up because i dont really do body work. But i got my stock ss/sc rims painted flat black (profesionally) lol, because if i tried it would look as if i ave two or maybe three colors on it. But my main thing is engines and trannys. I love working on them, and as it looks to me you do also. But like i said before sick as* ride man...

My husband did all of the engine work. I don't mind engine work and I like the outcome I just don't have the patience for it. I know how to do most of it though. I'd rather do bodywork and I specialize in detailing.
