Pics of my 05 GAGT1

Teknikal · 04-06-2008, 05:00 PM

Finally an incredibly nice day today, I was able to do a relatively detailed cleaning of my car after this brutal winter.

This car is stock, and yes I know some of you will suggest I do some mods and well...I can't wait.

Here's what I'd like to do first or at least this summer.

1. Clear corner black or chrome headlight with HID.
2. HID fogs.
3. Grill inserts
4. Dual post mirrors. BTW what the hell was GM thinking when they decided they would put the mickey ones on this car. aaarg.
5. Mud guards (maybe, see how they look)

Next year? Lowered, new 18s and performance mods.

Learning alot from you guys here, I read the new posts almost daily.

Nice and clean man. Your list looks pretty good minus the mudflaps.

williamGT · 04-06-2008, 07:50 PM

looks good, I would keep the mud flaps on the list, because they save the paint from rock chips.

DrFabulous · 04-06-2008, 07:53 PM

I'm impressed that your stock tips look that nice! All the GA's I see have rusty tips

This is exactly why I'm considering them.

Yeah I was lucky enough to get this car from a previous owner who took care of the tips somewhat. I did have to use a couple of different polishes to brighten them up. BluMagic works great for this.

Thanks for the comments boyz

ya stock tips are a bitsh to keep clean. When I redid my exhaust I made sure to pick up stainless tips instead of chrome just for that reason.

Ajaxus · 04-08-2008, 09:05 AM

if you stay stock exhaust, invest in some steel wool..combined with those polishes it'll work wonders to keep the tips clean..

i took mine from black to that shiny in about 10 minutes of work once.

Sh!t. He's got a black car. I thought the back part of the wheel well was the flaps.

Seeing how he's been on here for about 2 months and only posted 4 times, I'm not surprised the car is stock. No where did he brag about it. I guess I don't see the reason you felt that you needed to chime in about his pictures.

Black Knight · 04-10-2008, 09:55 PM

I love my 04, its just like yours. Im glad someone put the other chrome wheels on it though. I think the fan type are alittle gawdy....not my style. NICE CAR!!
