    my comet was previously posted on this forum before i owned it. the photos show it with the same exhaust set-up and wheels that i bought it with. i was just wondering if anyone remembers it and if anyone can recollect and posts about it. its in the comet gallery on page 12 posted jan 1, 2009.

    Looks better without the "GT", and it looks to be lowered a bit from those old pictures..

    I remember that guy. He thought his car was a factory GT...even though it was a 4-door.

    It's just because I don't fill up the air shocks too much (I hate air shocks) . And i replaced the fat Mickey thompson tires that I'm pretty sure were on there when he bought the car. As for the "gt" thing, I think he was told by the guy who sold it to him that it was a gt and wanted to believe it. I know they didn't make four door gt's:naughty: but ill admit I got kind of excited when I saw the photo of the trunk badge. It isn't there any more. But whatevs.. The dude was pretty cool and I picked her up for a good price
