This.



I would of kept the rims silver, I love how the silver rims look on the GAs rather then the chrome versions I have now. Spray painted rims just look tacky and you fit the description of being 17 with a low income...black stock painted rims with a discolored hood . Should of just kept the rims stock color so you wouldn't fit the stereotype.

Also looks like a shtty job painting the cubby holes in the doors.

The stock silver ones look even better after a machine polish. You can take your chrome caps off your wheels to have the silver ones, though they might have defects in them (they are Enkei wheels though).

How would you go about doing that? I thought the molding could never come off and how do you know they are Enkei's? o.O

I would figure if you use a heat gun that would take a very long time.

Enkei makes a lot of factory wheels for GM.

The Enkei logo is stamped on the back of five spokes, and in the center of the torqued ones. The GT's 16x6.5 stockers that is.

you can open the hood scoops by removing the plates but its rather pointless unless you decide to fab up hoses to the filter box otherwise it really doesnt improve anything

Painted my car to match my 69 GTO...

on a side note...wow! someone actually has a dash worse than mine!!! oh well, I have a mint one coming this week anyways! Although this car is actually in far better shape than mine was when I started. (search the appearance board for my build thread)

My favorite mod was the SC/T hood and spoiler!

Hooking it up to the stock air of won't do ****. The stock airbox is junk anyway. Opening the ram air vents will get cool air into the engine bay, cool air is always a plus.

there's one (standing in front on the car looking at the fuse box) right below the fuse box that you could easily fit that through and not interfere with any of the other stuff.



thanks

So, did you take a blurry pic of the thing you HAVE BEEN FOCUSING on to be ironic, or are you just slightly *touched*?

at you either way, but I'm curious as to why I should be laughing at you, but if you have parkinson's and can't help the hand shakes, then I will stop. because that's not nice.
