I saw a black GA behind me one day and he had the headlight covers, some grill inserts, but then as he went on the left turn lane I saw a wing that was 5 feet in the air and I shook my head.

Surprisingly though the headlight covers don't look that bad no matter what color GA you have and I could see his turn signal as clear as day even with the cover on.

Only thing different I would do to your GA Ell is take off the pinstripe. I actually wanted a pinstripe in the past but with the black molding that is already on the GA I thought it would look too busy.

Didn't watch it at first with my headphones on. I really hope those stupid subs aren't yours.

Blasting music and making your car shake doesn't make you cool

. Makes you look like a retard IMO.

i am actually am removing the pinstripe next spring

It doesn't make you look like a retard unless your being a retard. Just be courteous when playing your music loud IE: When stopped at a light turn it down so everyone around doesn't have to listen to what your listening to

AaronGTR · 10-08-2012, 03:26 PM

Well, it will cause hearing loss playing it that loud, and you could argue that purposely causing yourself physical damage and impairment is kinda retarded....

so yeah it does make you look like a retard.

I've never understood the DB drags and all that other stuff... what's the point? Why waste thousands of dollars to make your sound system so loud you can't even listen to it without ear protection? It only needs to be loud enough that you can hear it and it sounds good while you are inside the car driving.

TDavis · 10-08-2012, 03:44 PM

I've never been a big audio guy. If it wasn't for my car not coming with the Monsoon System I wouldn't even consider getting a new head unit/speakers. 1 or 2 of my speakers are blown, I know 1 for sure is since its rattling.

Only reason I want a head unit is because of the stupid clock/screen glitch and sometimes with the volume knob it takes alot to turn the volume up or just a little, its random.

I've never liked the look of aftermarket units on older cars like ours. It just doesn't blend into the interior, it looks too "new" if that makes since. Once I find a head unit that blends into the interior more with red lighting and a dark grey face that'll be it for audio.

And I don't need big, loud subs. I'm not black. INB4OMGZRACIST. Again, I'm not a big audio guy

Currently...

Going for a repaint next week since Im getting new bumpers, Ram Air hood, and front plate cover. Getting painted 69 GTO color "Verdoro Green" Just a hair different...

sleepyalero · 10-08-2012, 04:30 PM

damn i dont have a wide screen computer.

Shade2012 · 10-08-2012, 05:41 PM

Get new headlights while you're at it.

TDavis · 10-09-2012, 01:11 PM

Tinted windows 20% all around. Had them tint the rear window right below the dot matrix so I can put some black vinyl over the dot matrix, otherwise it looks like sht when tinted over.

Dat red. Also, looking at this picture made me realize I should repaint of the trim around the quarter panel windows with some low gloss high temp paint. It's faded/wax soaked into it. Mirrors soon to be repainted.

BJPbrandon2448 · 10-09-2012, 02:01 PM

Looks AMAZING Tanner, do the top of the mirrors need a repaint? Or is that just an odd reflection? May I suggest a black ccg grill kit?

He said the mirrors are soon to be repainted as well.

Yeah they are bleached from the sun. The whole thing needs to be repainted because if you look really closely it looks like the mirrors are a different shade of red, almost pinkish.

I plan on getting the CCG Black grill kit soon along with maybe HIDs, when I look at the front of my car the lower intake/nostrils are all "empty" while the hood scoops are "filled" and it looks off without the grills in the nostrils/lower intake. Still haven't aimed my headlights so haven't made the HID decision yet.

fart can? who are you anyway? Never seen a 3inch mandrel bent exhaust before done properly? However it IS for sale, along w/ the black silencer hanging out of it for those quiet nights in the city. It might add value to your ride.

It might not be perfect, but it's in way better shape than a lot of them I've seen on here.

Have you seen what Rob's car has done in the past? Look at some of youtube videos. Might explain his exhaust a bit better.
