Bring it back and complain... You just spent some serious coin for it, so you should be satified... They might give you some "we legally have to do it" bullshit, but it's worth complaining about...

They legally have to, I already complained, that said, we probably looked at 20+ 05 and 06 GTO's and various lots, they all had the same thing.

I would let it go. What if they try to repaint the bumper and the paint doesnt match that well. I would be more annoyed with that.

WICKED DUDE!!! Holy shit....i'm a little jealous right now.
Now get the SAP front lip spoiler ASAP and get the sport grills. They are not expensive. Go over to ls1gto.com and get it all together. Those 18's really change the look of the car. Loose the spoiler, too.

Awsome, dude!! the interior is pretty sweet, isnt it? I love this car.

i think the silver will look wierd with the car. They would look better painted to match the car. Atleast, that is what I think. It will look like you stole them off a silver car. The wing is a personal preference thing. I like the wing from AP like the one Phil has on his. That fits the lines of the car better.

Look for a shop that does Ceramic tint...most likely will cost a little more. But will not interfere with the satellite, or navi.
