New pictures finally...

Braves299 · 03-29-2005, 07:49 PM

OK, my room got flooded over winter break and ruined my camera dock. I have taken recent pictures of my car since Christmas, but havent got them on my computer because I just now got around to getting a USB cable for my camera, so here they are.

These are pictures of my fogged/glazed headlights I was always complaining about. I got new ones for Christmas and installed them. They made a really big differance.

Here is the pontiac arrowhead that I painted on my steering wheel. For some reason I couldn't get my camera to focus on close shots, so I'm sorry for them being so blurry. It really did turn out well

Braves299 · 03-29-2005, 07:55 PM

Here are pictures of the XM radio I got for Christmas and installed. I was actually pretty happy with myself for finding a way to mount it to my dash. It had to mount on the backside against a flat surface, so i couldn't find ANYWHERE to do that unless I wanted to drill into the dash, by the passenger airbag. So I took the middle vent out, and removed the ball/vent thing out of the circle vent frame. When you do this, it leaves you with a 1/2" gap where the ball used to rotate in. So I cut a piece of half inch plywood, and snapped the vent peices back together. It holds in very sturdy and It worked out pretty well. Again, sorry for the blurriness.

A few of the exterior. I have GT tails on there now, and I removed the WVU sticker on the back, and replaced it with a sticker dedicated to my Dad.

Braves299 · 03-29-2005, 08:10 PM

Just a couple diff. pics, and I'm finally done.

bigbenSC · 03-29-2005, 08:14 PM

Looks nice, you should replace the SE side molding with GT molding. It's pretty expensive new though...

Braves299 · 03-29-2005, 08:45 PM

Yeah I've considered that, but then I'd have to buy the rockers as well, and I am broke..

02andahalfgt · 03-29-2005, 08:58 PM

Looks real good.

I really like that color.

I'll have 4 door side skirts coming off my car soon.

Braves299 · 03-29-2005, 09:28 PM

^well keep me posted on it

badboy2451 · 03-29-2005, 09:39 PM

yea that color is sweet, im diggin it

Braves299 · 03-30-2005, 11:24 AM

Thanks for the compliments..... even though i AM considering trading it in...

Say it isn't so....

Car looks good by the way. I like the XM mounting. You should get some new gauges in that thing.

Braves299 · 03-30-2005, 11:45 AM

^Haha, I would, but you stole them...

I'm thinking of trading it in, because all of a sudden, I'm getting a ton of brake problems one after another. I've already put $2,000 into it in the past 2 months. Now I have another issue that just came up with the ABS.. Depending on what the problem is, I may just trade it in. It makes me sick knowing that I put that much money into a car that is only worth $2,000.

I'm thinking of maybe a Cavalier, just because I can't afford much since I'm in school....Go easy on my Mike

. Maybe even another Grand Am since their resale DOES suck and I can find one cheap... who knows.

DrFabulous · 03-30-2005, 11:46 AM

Well, at least you'd be staying close. Are you going to try and find a little 5-speed to play with?

Braves299 · 03-30-2005, 11:47 AM

If I go with a Cavalier, yes. But it really all depends on what is wrong with my car right now...

DrFabulous · 03-30-2005, 11:49 AM

Best of luck with it. It'd be a damn shame to see it go down now, I know you've put a lot into it, and it's a really sharp looking car, with the GT bumpers and all.

Braves299 · 03-30-2005, 11:51 AM

Well thanks for the compliments. I like it too. I've had it since I was 16, and it was my first, and only car. I don't want to get rid of it either, I just wish it would STOP having BRAKE problems.

Story of all of our lives. This should be gagt.com's theme, along with LIM leaks (which I don't have to deal with)

Braves299 · 03-30-2005, 11:55 AM

Yeah, you 2.4 whore...

jk

DrFabulous · 03-30-2005, 11:56 AM

DAMN STRAIGHT!!

Now if I only had the money to make it faster, I could actually brag about it.....
