Coming to the MN meet?

You do your own painting, right?

elementdrummer · 04-11-2009, 08:07 AM

Didn't know there was a Minnesota meet. And yeah my uncle and I do the paint work.

We are trying to get something going, probably next weekend.
MN crew- meet?

Out of curiosity.... how much to get my hood painted?

elementdrummer · 04-11-2009, 08:16 AM

I am free all next weekend. Car isn't in the best shape, rims need powder coat and paintjob needs some fixing, but i could make it. What color for you hood? After cost of supplies under $100 if you got the paint. Does it need bosy work or any major prep work?

tipnitty · 04-11-2009, 08:23 AM

the wing is just plain horrid. props for creativity but hideous none the less.

but the paintwork doesn't look too bad

I don't think anybodies car will be 100%, but it will be a good chance to get together.

x2.

I would change the tips to something either oval or square and maybe recess them more underneath the bumper.

Edit: Open up the headlights and paint them the same color as the greystone.

yeah, the exhaust tips were a mistake. I am going black chrome on those and i will recess them in about 2-3 inches. As for the headlights i just went with black carbon fiber vinyls. Did not want to sand the plastic inside to paint it.

I can look past the spoiler. It's not that bad anyways. The paint scheme is bada$$ though man. The colors really set each other off well.

Iowagdam · 04-13-2009, 08:24 AM

love it!

pontga00 · 04-13-2009, 08:37 AM

Nice. I was gonna do a 2 tone in those same 2 colors. Different scheme tho. At least we live far enough away from each other that no one will ver see the cars in the same place. LOL.

cardude007617 · 04-13-2009, 10:21 AM

the new front color REALLY helped the overall look of the car. definetly one of the better body-kitted grand ams on the site.

[ChaosweaveR] · 04-13-2009, 01:49 PM

That wing is just horrific. Paint looks killer though.

SSRacer · 04-13-2009, 02:18 PM

Why take the time to blend the bumpers and skirts and then leave the recess in the door? Would look much better if that were smoothed out IMO.

Jake · 04-13-2009, 02:34 PM

I liked it much better the old way.

elementdrummer · 04-14-2009, 07:02 AM

This is my front light and halo setup minus the underglow

SSRacer · 04-14-2009, 07:05 AM

Did you replace the leds and the halos in those lights? the leds look way whiter and brighter than mine and the halos look brighter too.
