Just bought a black 05 GT!!!!!!!

...And I'm already deeply in love!! Black on black 05 GT Deluxe, 16k miles, absolutely showroom condition. Coudn't find a single blemish anywhere. I already put on around 100 miles, getting it back here from the dealer, and i'm already comfortable with it. Couldn't take pictures before it got dark, but believe me, pictures will come tomorrow. I saved enough money to do some very significant mods. I'm currently thinking of either a KB or vortech, along with exhaust, springs, maybe gt500 wheels, if my fr500s don't work, and some exterior things, like window louvers, tint, etc... I'm thinking too many things right now to say all the great things about it that i love. Interior is 100 times better than my 04 was, and ride quality as well. Isn't as fast as my S/C'd 04 was, (obviously), but it'll get there soon enough. pictures will come soon...
 
I think those wheels look alot better than the bullet type wheels that come on the 05's and up, there's just something about them that isn't right. BTW the car looks good and it's black the best color there is.
 
Here are a few crappy pics. I'll take some better ones this afternoon. I'm going to put my FR500s on there, and see how they look.

Looks nice....:nice: I would sell the FR500's because they are gonna stick out past the fenders due to the 99-04 offset.....

Yeah, i know they're gonna stick out...i was just gonna put em on there to see if its that bad. I noticed that currently, the stock wheels are tucked in pretty far in the fender, so maybe the offset will bring them back to flush with the sides? I suspect that it'll look mexican, but i hafta try. I'll probably end up selling them, and picking up some 18" machined shelby gt500 wheels :nice:
 
Dude, dibs on the FRs if they don't work. I do like how the interiors come with some billet from the factory. The retro appeal of these cars is starting to grow on me, I almost wish I had gotten one over the 04 and gone all oldschool with it.
 
Dude I am really happy for you, that thing is sweet! Did any of the negotiation advise help? I am curious to know what you ended up paying, but its in bad taste to ask..............but tell me anyway.
