Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Nope 15% all around. I can't stand uneven tint.

I don't mind uneven lol. 35% on the front, 10% on the rear windows, and 5% on the very back. Just kinda worked out that way dealing with the ebay tint guy. The 5 and 10% looks about the same really. I wanted 10% on all rears but the rear windshield was a hard one to shrink, and I was told about a better quality tint last minute, which doesn't come in 10%.
Oh well, I would go with 35/5 next time I guess. I don't like it real dark up front. Not legal and don't want to push it, plus night time visibility goes to crap if you go too dark. Lots of unlit residential areas and people walking wearing all black doesn't work out too well.

Nope 28% front, 15% back is state law. I gives no cares lol I can open up or crack the sunroof or window if needed but have never had a problem in the past I'll take my chance (knock on wood), your right with the tears hard to tell once the light from the windshield comes through

I've had limo tint on the GP all around for years night time visibility still wasn't a issue but with dark interior nowadays I don't need it that dark so I think 15% is best overall

I fixed the thing I broke, when I tried fixing stuff.







Last pic is a bit fuzzy, but that filter is about done for. Lol I'll pick up a new one when I get back. And do something about shielding the filter from random crap. Lol

That and I got dirty. I always manage to get dirty...

I oiled it again and it looks the same. Lol I want some color.

The oil only really does a good job of coloring the filter upon the initial oiling at the manufacturer. It can only do so much after that. The best way to keep color in the filter is to dye the cotton before the filter is "assembled."

I had mine done in black and just use clear oil.



The small vibrant filter was red as can be seen in the older picture here



My newer filter is still basically black and that is after 3 years.

I'm guessing after getting completely saturated with ocean water, the filter just lost all of its color. Lol it's like almost 2 years old at this point

Well, given the cracks and grease from this outer tie rod it looks like I'm replacing that too... and the sway bar sucks to remove. But it's a learning experience

Developed a miss on 3# at idle and a slight tick. Sounds like a lifter or loose rocker. Plug looked fine

Loaded it down big time. Coming home from vacation in Union Pier, MI back home to Chicago, IL. A ride that usually takes 1.5hrs took 4 hours. The Grand Prix held its own, even though it was weighed down like crazy. It performed awesomely. My wife left a few days earlier with her own car full of stuff. It was me, the kids, four bikes, etc... That's 3 bikes there on the trunk. 3 bikes, on a rack meant for 2 bikes. M daughters bike was laying down on the trunk more than anything, bunjee-corded to the others. It was a harrowing ride home at times, going 75mph on the Skyway. The fourth bike was inside the trunk with the wheels off. Engine was on for 4+ hours, stayed at 210 the whole way and ice cold A/C.

I like the Mopar logo.

I can see a lot of fingerprints... Do you touch it inappropriately alot, or just today? Lol

Hahahaha

I'm so old and have used GPs for so long that I can say this without fear of reproach- Thats just what Grand Prixs do, serve people. They are noble beasts.

That's why I'm never giving mine up, thought about selling it a while ago...thought long and hard, and still kept it.

She's a trooper. Lol hasn't failed me yet.

Managed to stuff five aired-up semi inner-tubes into the GP, plus two people, lol. Then fixed the AUX on my GF's Corolla via a messy soldering job on the board, but, hey, it works.
