WeibSunder · 03-14-2007, 10:01 AM

I'm posting pics of the results of the body shop like I said I would. Be gentle...

I love the dual post mirrors, should have done this wayyyyyy earlier!

Color matched dual post mirrors =

Rich · 03-14-2007, 12:46 PM

not bad. i bet the tails would look better painted white. also, debage FTW.

bballr4567 · 03-14-2007, 01:02 PM

Looks good. Personally I think its a little too much white. I also have a white SE but there are little bits of black on it so its not so washed out. I also love my color matched mirrors.

Also why is there only one V6 badge on that?!?!

bryanw0087 · 03-14-2007, 01:09 PM

x2 for the too much white, needs some black or some other color to make it look nicer, not bad, nice and shiny! would be cool if you put like a GT bumpers and sideskirts on it

DrFabulous · 03-14-2007, 01:15 PM

You should buy new bulbs for the turn signals... ones that look clear but light up amber.

RAZE · 03-14-2007, 01:16 PM

+1 for antenna
-1 for tails

am i missing something what was done besides painted mirrors?

notsoaveragej0e · 03-14-2007, 07:28 PM

It looks like the arrow head was filled in too?

I really like those clear headlights on a white car +1

Rims are killing me though...even stock non-torqued chromes would look better

Grreen99GT · 03-14-2007, 07:31 PM

what antenna is that?

WeibSunder · 03-14-2007, 10:24 PM

Well, I put the 3157 amber NR's in the turn signals mainly because I got tired of the bright white turn signals.

It has only one v6 badge because I got it today from the dealership and it went straight from the body shop to the dealership and I haven't had time to take the other v6 badge off.

I have seen the TYC's painted white and they look alright, but the more and more I looked at them the more I didn't like them.

Concerning the rims, I didn't have enough money left over from my wreck to get any, so I'm probably just going to wait and get some on my next vehicle and just get them to throw it into the payment.

And again about the turn signals, I chose amber because I go to VA a lot to see my brother and I've been hassled more than once about my "white" turn signals and I didn't want that crap anymore.

Anacona...I guess you haven't read any of my posts about my car and such, but I pretty much haven't had it for nearly a month, and I was just postin pix of the mirrors since some people wanted to see how they turned out.

And I find it funny that people say I have "too much white" when I don't see people saying that to people with red/black/silver cars. But oh well, I like it, and I'm glad that I have it back.

Oh, and the antenna is from customgrandam.com

timberwoof · 03-15-2007, 07:37 AM

Black with silver trim wheels, would look nice on this car.

I have those same rims on my car, the ones you have now, and I absolutely hate them with a pink with purple poka dot passion. They are horible and I don't know why the hell Pontiac even decided to put those ugly ass things on their cars.

WeibSunder · 03-15-2007, 11:23 AM

I was going to try to buy some of the torqued rims with the insurance money, but at the autopartswarehouse, they were like $485 each, so I just sucked it up and bought my bumper, fender and 2 front rims.

timberwoof · 03-15-2007, 12:39 PM

I've looked into getting some different ones also and they are way to expensive. Its cheaper to go aftermarket, than stock. F'IN GM

WeibSunder · 03-15-2007, 01:35 PM

Oh yeah, possible to get a nice set of cheap rims, but then you have to get tires...and it's not wise to skimp on them.

magyver · 03-15-2007, 03:54 PM

cant get past the tails.. chrome=ghetto

timberwoof · 03-15-2007, 05:35 PM

what's your plans for the rest of the car??

WeibSunder · 03-15-2007, 07:15 PM

Oh well, I like the tails, that's all that matters, some people "build" their cars from what other people say and what other people like or don't like...sorry I'm not like that.

Well, If I get a settlement from this past accident large enough, I'm looking at getting either A: Mazda CX-7 Turbo or B: The black GA GT coupe that I see at a local dealership and I'll end up getting color matched 18's and a lowering kit along with black TYC's and so on and so on blah blah. But I'm not really sure about my present car, might turn that into my daily driver and slap a SC or a turbo on the GT coupe.

Snowboardr18 · 03-15-2007, 07:59 PM

i'm not a fan of white but thats just me.

i'd say it's time for new rims?

bryanw0087 · 03-15-2007, 08:49 PM

whats wrong with the rims, like he siad he didnt have enough money for some, and he said he would get some for his next car (which is a wise choice on your part)

looks good
