Winter Prepped Black GA

thecollegekid · 02-25-2007, 01:17 PM

I took these a few months back when I prepped the car for winter. I usually start off with a basic wash, clay bar, wax and polish. Usually takes about 5 hours and then it's good for the winter salt on the roads. This is my daily driver so it's got some dings and dents but here are the pics:

No more real plans other than maintain it and drive the wheels off of it. I've been looking for somewhere to post my videos but I can't find anywhere that will host them. They're all bigger than 100mb so Google, Streetfire, and Youtube won't support them. Let me know if you guys have any ideas.

Real nice, you should get some black rims with chrome lips.

Blacked out FTMFTW

Hotness. Are your windows tinted or did you just get really good angles with the glare/sun?

Grreen99GT · 02-25-2007, 01:57 PM

i love how your daily driver has a sc/t kit.....lucky

FuriousG · 02-25-2007, 02:22 PM

Tint your tails and 3rd brake light too. You'll love the look and it costs alot less than the black rims. Once I get a few more things done with my GT I'll post pics. I've got the headlight covers, debadged and tinted tails and it looks great even though I lack the SCT kit that you've got.

looks real nice and shiny.

ryanbgb22 · 02-25-2007, 07:40 PM

looks great minus the mirrors, get some dual post.

AaronGTR · 02-25-2007, 08:58 PM

Yeah, different rims would set it off. With the full SC/T kit it really needs the SC/T hood and wing to look complete too. And the dual post mirrors would look better. Add a nice exhaust, the clear corner headlights, etc and it would look really hot! Add it all up and you get... PACE's car!... the tightest of the tight.

Thats becuase he isnt a panzie, not becuase he is lucky.

Thanks for the comments guys. My projects have since moved on and I'll add a set of wheels this spring for show season and that will be about it. The mickey mouse ears and all stay. I think the lack of SC/T hood and spoiler is different and not quite as extreme looking. The car, in person, looks like it's pulled towards the ground. I'd actually like to go spoilerless if I can find a body shop I trust to fill the holes. As for an exhaust I have a Magnaflow Camaro/Firebird style muffler with the quad tips.
