Don't put a pin stripe on the side either, dunno if you where going to but I had the thought when I first got the car.

Later on decided not to because it would look too busy with the black rubber trim around the car.

No strip but I may do the retro Ram Air decals for the hood.

Oh order my exhaust tips today...70/71 GTO stainless splitters 2 1/4 inch diameter.

Also what do you guys think about the bumper scoops? Should I leave the silver border there or remove it and put the black mesh insert in there? I have it, just torn which one I like better.

TDavis · 11-13-2012, 04:17 PM

You can have the black grill insert there AND the silver border if I recall?

Gtomike72 · 11-13-2012, 04:20 PM

The ones I have slide into where the insert is and would cover them...

Granted they have been painted since...

TDavis · 11-13-2012, 04:25 PM

Oh well I would put the grill insert in there so it matches everything.

Thats what Im starting to think...I still need to modify the hood scoop inserts though since they are a little too long (thats what she said!

) Just need to figure something to use to give it a clean cut.

American Eagle 077's for sale

bricooper78 · 11-22-2012, 12:04 PM

Price of tea in China, you rang?

Gtomike72 · 11-26-2012, 04:40 PM

Just installed my bumper vinyls. Looks good! Also took off the bumper arrowhead and installed just the black overlay in the place of the emblem so you see bodycolor inside the Pontiac "star" will get pics soon!

tipnitty · 11-26-2012, 04:53 PM

Personally I would paint the grills black. They look good, but they stand out just a little too much for my taste.

[ChaosweaveR] · 11-26-2012, 05:12 PM

Removed the entire arrowhead? Why?

$550 for 077s that need reconditioning, and are polished instead of chrome? Pass. Even without that crack. I paid far less than that for a set that was in better shape than that, and sold both of my sets (which had been polished up quite nicely) for less.

Was talking to the owner if this thread since hes nifty with his hands.

Sorry for the lack of updates, just been too cold to really do much. I did finally paint my door jams so I can install my door panels again! It's been ghetto driving around without them

other than that, I haven't done much. I received my slp muffler, just need to find time to install it and put the tips on the car. Will update when I do!

[ChaosweaveR] · 12-28-2012, 11:08 PM

Wondering where you went.

94cutlassvert · 12-29-2012, 01:18 AM

Here are a couple pics for consideration for the black lower bumper this is my old gagt

[ChaosweaveR] · 12-29-2012, 06:08 AM

With the green color he has, I dunno if it would pop like it did with the red.
