fill your dash vents with gauges..

oh wait that's me..seriously i have like one free dash vent way on the passenger side.

only other thing i can think of is changing up the colors.

One of mine is clean and the other is filthy.

Just finished taking all that adhesive off the side of Lana. Spacers will go on Saturday. Along with the HIDs that just came in.

i think it was that duplicolor vinyl and fabric spray. dash and doors have been done for years and haven't shown any signs of wearing off. the silver/gray(what color ever you want to call it) i used silver duplicolor caliper paint.. tried it out on one of the old "leather" sun visors i had and aggressively digging with my fingernail the paint wasn't coming off i pulled the silver part off the door panel sprayed them and them epoxied them back to the door panel..

the part i made silver on the center console..i think the reason why it didn't stick to the steering wheel was that i used a very light coat on that.

the rear doors. before i put the "leather" rear seats in

Fock you red cars!

Looks nice man, keep working on those detail skills. I used to drop 10-12hrs a week detailing my car back in the day..and always got great comments!

Pontiac_guy99 · 03-20-2014, 06:53 PM

Nothing else besides gauges and LED interior lighting. It's really easy to make the interior of a GA really tacky so I leave it how it is. Only thing I would consider is painting the "leather" vinyl that goes across the doors red. The grey interiors that some GAs came with doesn't match well with any color really.

Nope just gauge pods. Stock radio.

Personally Brendon, I wouldn't be able to stand that black interior, it looks tacky because its a glossy black.

xUnderCoverHoBo · 03-20-2014, 07:47 PM

Still stock radio? How much did they offer tanner

If it's your first time waxing, then I'm guessing you don't know about claybar yet. Pick up a good one at your local autozone. In a nutshell, there is dust/dirt on your car that regular washing won't get off (even if you use the two bucket method)..hell, on most cars rail dust is still present from when they were moved cross country. The claybar will remove EVERYTHING you miss when washing. Feel your paint after using it, it will feel like silk.

Do this before waxing, and preferably do this in a garage and wax in there as well (so the wind doesn't kick anything up onto the paint). Most people don't do this, and end up grinding dirt into the clear coat and creating small scratches in it.

Even if you don't polish, it's a great step to include prior to waxing. After waxing you can use the included quick detailer for a quick clean whenever. After using it the first time, you'll see it's value in how dirty the clay gets!

Never upgrading the radio. I'm not an audio guy, stock sounds perfectly fine to me.

He didn't name a price I just immediately said hell no

xUnderCoverHoBo · 03-20-2014, 09:47 PM

**** ill take thay ga off ur hands tanner

sleepyalero · 03-20-2014, 10:11 PM

I just have a 100$ sony single den in mine. My stock radio the buttons were fading and were just green lights. So it had to be done. Aside from that. Rear deck speakers are kenwoods and front doors/tweeters are stock. I used to have subs but not anymore. Not into audio much.

But the radio was needed and im happy with it. My limit on a radio is 200 bucks. Anything higher is worthless to me.
