Good stuff man. I remember when i was buying an 06 GTO. They were having it shipped and everything, just like you.. Last moment when i was signing papers, they tried to raise my interest and make me pay like 650 a month.. I was mad too. I know the feeling.. At least you still got what you wanted for a good deal. congrats

Will have pics tomorrow for sure, had to get batteries for the camera tonight. Yeah, I was pretty much done, but this second dealership just got it done. Will have to remember the black truck thread, lol.
Funny thing is I had a bad feeling about the first dealer to begin with like they were going to try and jack with me, and this dealer told me exactly word for word what they were going to try to do and he called it dead on. Overall I couldn't be happier and wound up with the right truck and dealer.

Nice! I would have loved to gotten a black truck when I bought mine but there were none on the lot and I was to impatient to wait for one.
Looking forward to pics. Any plans for it yet?

Thx guys. She's a looker. Probably keep it pretty close to how it looks now. I have to do something with the front bowtie, can't decide if black or polished alum. Do a little debadging. Just got done removing the dealership decal on the tailgate and installing the Airaid MIT from my old 4.8 liter. Need to debadge the bowtie and flexfuel emblem from the tailgate sometime. Maybe in time lightly tint the headlight and taillights and 3rd brake. Going to get an eyebrow on the front window tomorrow at lunch, at some point will tint all the windows darker but need to wait for my EZ tag, will have to be going thru the toll booths for a few days.
Probably going to wait on the tune and exhaust for a little while but when I do, plan on using a corsa or SLP dual tip out the stock location, with either a magnaflow race muffler, Spintech pro street or aero turbine muffler. Eventually, when these tires are gone plans are to level the front 2-2.5" and going with some 33's Oh, also need to look into a spray-in bedliner. Maybe an LS7 90mm TB and underdrive pulley at some point but that will probably be the extent of the performance mods.
