questions for future mods and a nice addition to my 05 CGT

I'm considering adding a lip spoiler and an exhaust system before summer, any suggestions for certain brands or types? So far I seem to like the Mansory GT63 spoiler and the Bentley GT exhaust upgrade by Supersprint.

Also I just installed a Mulliner shift **** in my CGT for some reason it makes the entire center console look so much better. It's like a piece of jewelry compared to my older stock one I highly recommend adding this piece if you don't have one already.

Good luck, once you start the mods, it is hard to stop! I went Mansory all the way around. Top Stitch did my interior, including mats. Had custom Rennen wheels made with PZeros. Also changed my shift **** to the Mulliner. Went with a Cat Back exhaust from AAA exhaust.

Wow that's an impressive list, I'm hoping to make my car as one of a kind as yours is

@blackgtc
I got it off Ebay new in box for $300, it was a great deal. I have been looking for one of these for a long time and I checked regularly and got lucky. It was straight from a Bentley dealer too who said list price was originally $990 !

Go with Fabspeed. Check with Vivid Racing for sales on exhaust systems. Talk to Dave from Fabspeed about a sports muffler. He did one for the Doc. Are you changing out your whole exhaust system or just the mufflers?

I like what I bought from Fabspeed. In my experience with Harley Davidson aftermarket exhaust I found it impossible to "try" all the options to discover what I liked the best. The have to buy it to try it gets unwieldy$. First decide what your goals are such as sound only or performance with or without sound changes. Remember if you change much of the exhaust flow characteristics you need to address the tuning issues.

Yep, Doc is right on this one. Mine as well get a complete Fabspeed set up from exhaust to ECU because they tune it as a complete package

Your exterior mods are all cosmetic so there is no real right or wrong but the motor and pressures need to be accounted for. Good luck.

Im considering a lower chrome wrap down from the chrome trims around the side to give a chrome bottom look.
