thinking of buying a GT

hi, thinking of coming over from the BMW M world and had a coupe questions:

A car I have looked at is below, and I'm wondering first about the grill. Is the pin grill an option over the standard bar grill? Is it easy to obtain and replace the bar grill for the pin grill (I prefer the pin grill and may not buy this particular car) Second question is this car looks lowered. Are there "better" ways of lowering over others/what should I look for? Does the ride selection still work when lowered? THanks.

It does look lowered. More importantly why would you wanna bar grill on car? Are you planning on cooking burgers on it?

Welcome to the forums! That thing looks great, and does look lowered. Don't worry about what others think! You want a bar grill? Get yourself that bar grill!

Welcome.

There are several vendors with lowering springs. Hopefully the car has spring height adjustability like Rtech.

Yeah, get whatever grill you prefer, except be aware that there are a lot of costs and adjustments going with the pan America grill that was on later cars.
