Looks good...but did they do something to your front calipers?

front calipers

When I was putting on the passenger fronts, i put in one of the washer backwards. In the ensuing battle to remove the nut it scratched my calipers. I am probably going to get them powder coated red when I put my stock wheels back on.

He shouldn't have to had to run any spacer, the 17x4.5 Race Star wheels are designed to fit the '11 GT's with the the Brembo brakes with no modifications!

OP, car looks good!! :beer:

I have the same drag wheel setup except I got the rears in 17" to match the fronts.

Entrenched - since it looks like you had them off to paint them...are the 5.0 badges adhesive backed only or do they have alignment pins on them along with requisite holes in the fender?

Blueovalindustries sells them black already. The factory emblems have alignment holes, the replacements did not. I am waiting to see the UPRs as I think anodized black billet will be the ticket.

So, to be clear, does the fender have holes in it for pins on the emblem or not?

Black car is actually my best friend's car. As for the rest, my wife and I worked and put each other through college. Best move in my life, ever.
