Ill tell you exactly what you need to do. Wingless, a drop, SS kit all the way around, SS/TC grille, tinted tails and a nice set of retrofit headlights. That will make your car pure sex

 

retrofits ftw! lol i have to agree , and i think you just named 9/10 of the things im doing to the car lol

 

I'm MOSTLY with you. haha

Wingless.. Check.

Drop.. For sure check.

SS kit.. Halfway check. I'm not a big fan of the rear bumper.. I actually like the 2.4 rear alot.. If anything, I might do the G5 GT rear.. But 100% for sure getting the front lip!

t/c grille set.. Check.

Tinted tails.. Uncheck.. I love the look, but cops around here are picky about tinted tails..

Retrofitted.. Never even thought about checking.. lol. But check! I don't know if I can buy some pre-made, but I'm no good with forming stuff like that.. I definitely want to keep the blackout headlights though, but I wouldn't be opposed to running a projector beam in there though!

 

Well its the recipe for success in the appearance department of the balt. If I end up keeping mine I will have everything on that list within the year. I have most of it already.

G5 GT rear is even better And as far as the retrofits contact Smartdude24 he makes them.

 

Word. Yeah, I really noticed today how insanely nice the G5 GT rear is.. lol. It's crazy..

 

Honestly sometimes I wish I could go back and get a G5 GT in white. Put a SS front lip on then slam it and it would be so clean.

 

Super clean. They did a good job on the G5 GT for sure.. Always loved those thin spoke wheels..

 

200 a good price to fully detail my scratched up balt

 

Depends. How good are you at detailing? You can buy the products for a fraction of that, spend all day doing it, and have much more satisfaction than paying someone to do it.. But if you're not capable of doing that, go for it. Honestly though, 200 is probably quite steep. I usually only charge 50 or so to do a car in my garage.. 50-100 depending on the vehicle, size, condition, etc. But you figure that that place has to make money.. I'd say 150 is legit, any more they're probably raping you.. Unless it's like a 1 hour full-detail.. lol.

 

8hr full detail...i used to dry my car with a towel

 

well what does the 200 include? if its just a wash and wax, you're getting ripped off. if you're getting wash, claybar, wax, polish, wheel out scratches, interior, engine bay.. then you're getting one hell of a deal.

 

Exactly. I did all that myself a few weeks ago and saved a hell of a lot of money.. But I was lucky and had a bunch of spare time one weekend.. If it's a basic clean, run the other way!

 

200 bucks ill detail myself. I only pay to get scratches out cause i dont **** with touchup paint. Then again 200 might do alot better job then I can do. Also 200 bucks is like a paycheck for me. So i guess my 2 cents doesnt apply to people with money.

 

Do you only need the screws when converting a 2.4 front bumper to an s/c front lip? Or is there some retainer as well? I saw that I can get one for like 200 new.. Same for the G5 GT rear lip.. Like 175 new.. But can't tell if it needs a retainer either..

 

There are clips that hold the ss/sc front lip to the bumper. With you having a ss/na bumper your going to have to make holes in order to use the clips... or just take the easy way out n use 3M doublesided tape.

 

do it the right way and cut the slits, use a dremel you'll be fine.

 

So you don't need the adaptor pieces? Just Dremel the slits and use the screws then you're good to go? Front and rear?

 

im not sure about the adapters, from what i can tell, is that there are plastic tabs on the lip that need to fit into the slits on the actual bumper cover. cut the slits in your bumper and push the lip onto it.

i dont know this for a fact, but im pretty sure that this is the process to install a 2.0 lip on the 2.4 bumper

 

I'm sure after I see the lip it's self it'll make perfect sense.. lol.

 

i think me and averagewhiteboy are gonna have almost the exact same car lol ... great minds think alike!

 

full show detail ext only wheeling out scratches...claybar.. wax polish and wash

 

GM game us a good looking car.. We're just making it even better!
