Here is the Month I bought it:

 

I like it ! Good job. I am also a fan of the fender stripes. We all know that we say we are done but evidently we are never done with our cars! Good luck and nice ride

 

clean that valve cover, otherwise pretty good

 

Obviously not finished I'd say it's visually finished. Looks great! To be honest I'm not sure I'd even do tc wheels on your car, the stock 17s fit it very well, plus tires are cheaper anyways.

 

Looks good bro

 

Thanks, yea -- the valve cover is a result of the actuator solenoids going out and me being a scared ass taking it off. Lately everything I take off my car somehow gets messed up getting put back together. I lost my temperature sensor when I was reinstalling the headlights =/

 

Are you talking about the sensor by the driver side headlight?

 

Repost? Lol Retros look good now that they're all done tho

 

Yes, It shot out towards the motor when I was plugging it back in and I never could find it...

 

very clean dude, love this car, but sorry to tell you, but work on a car is NEVER done lol!!!!

 

In regards the repost, nah -- I posted them in the Pictures & Videos forum and this one since I frequent the appearance boards the most =)

 

Dude when I had my driver side headlight out to replace the intake filter I saw that just hanging there what temp sensor is it?

 

Its the Ambient Air Temperature that is seen on your DIC.

 

Does your dic read --- for the outside temp? If so that's why, it's the one that tells you how hot it is outside. Nothing important for the function of your car.

 

I added the before pictures to the original post just so you all could see the transformation.

 

My dash is still reading the outside temp the sensor is still there its just hanging there by the harness its not pressed into a hole anywhere

 

It looks good I like the white color with the strips on the front fenders

 

glad u lost the Eyelids, car looks awesome dude, Gj

 

Thanks for the compliments guys =)

 

Looks good but something has to be done about the GM squares on the side.

 

ya, 6 days until I'm moving cross country, the headlights are my last project for awhile (At least until I find a white G5 for the rear end, and a front lip)

 

Well I will say it, everything looks good except for the strips

 

It can't be done. You at least need a legit wingless trunk instead of that one with plugs, and it needs to be lower. Got a ways to go son.

 

doesnt look done to me lol

 

I've got about $2,500 wrapped up in it right now. Insurance covers up to $5000 with receipts for aftermarket parts in case of total loss. In another $2,500, It will be done whether I say so or not.
