Looks out of place on the understated body.

No joke, I was thinking they'd fix the back panels and put some (not a lot) of flare in.

Pretty much what I expected... different hood on the same car.

I believe the body kit with the grill is optional, or something like that I heard.. or you can buy it from the dealer. Looks much better, but is the hood functional at all... i havent heard anything on that yet.

Keep GTZ out of it! It will upset all current and former Beretta GTZ owners. If they are going to use the GTZ name, they better put it on a new Beretta, a true FWD 4-cylinder performance coupe with side skirts and all.

Re: 05 GTO pic inside

holy ugliness. lol. Bland meets $49 pep boys hood scoops... they look completely out of places. It says avail hood scoops, that mean its an option? They should of do something in terms of fender flares, rear end, front grill, underlip spoiler.... but that.... just looks out of place by itself.

*barf*

GM, thanks for trying, but you can't just slap on a two hood scoops and call it day. UGh, it doesn't even match... I can't look at it anymore.

Re: 05 GTO pic inside

It NEEDED nicer wheels (concept wheels were nice) and fender flares...not the stupid looking hood that doesn't fit the car

Re: 05 GTO pic inside

ahhhhhhhh I knew it. See what you asked for people?
"it needs scoops" blah blah blah....for months now, we heard it over and over, and I kept saying that it wouldnt look good on this car, and that the GTO's lines wouldnt fit with trans am hood scoops, but no, we NEED to have hood scoops or its not a GTO.

See what you all did? At least it has 400hp, and the hood is optional.
Recessed grill will be optional through GM.
