Did you tint your tails ZR1?
I'm thinking you could use a coat of clear on them or something
They look awful... no offense
12-14-2010
The did look aweful. I had a lot planned with that, including retinting the tails because i did them in the dead of winter but unfortunately some ***** decided to ruin all my hopes and dreams. And the car is hella dirty in that pic.

Those are nice lookin...what grit paper did you use? I'm assuming multiple grits.
12-14-2010
I went 400 (helps get all the built up stuff off), then 800, then 1500 then 2000, then some steel wool. Wasn't perfect, it needed more attention but again it was freezing when I was doing this.Originally Posted by 4THGENCAMAROFAN

Hand sanding or did you use a block or?
12-15-2010
hand, the face of the tip is slightly curved so a block wouldn't work. Honestly, I fell in love with those tips once they were shined up, it'd be worth it on other cars. Even if you guys were to just buy the 04+ stock tips and weld/bolt them on.
12-15-2010
how much do the 04+ tips go for...i like mine..they just need polisehd....honestly if i buy new tips i'd want quad tips like the 40th anniversary cars.
12-15-2010
no idea. If you can find one at the junkyard I can't imagine that much.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but the 2007 Impala's didn't come with a 3800, either a 3500 or a 3900, just saying.

My bad, must've been an 8th gen. My dad was the one who did the actual overhaul. I must've mixed up the year of the motor he swapped in. Might've been an '04 or '05. Had to of been. Had less than 25K miles on it. If you removed the valve covers, all you'd see some clean ass rockers.

You can mod your car with those many miles. My car has 166,500 and i'm still buying parts for it. Runs good too! It's all in how you maintain it.
12-15-2010
I would consider doing that if I love this car. Truth is, I don't love it, so investing money in it wouldn't really be worth it.
12-15-2010
See right there you told yourself you dont love the car...so DD it until you have the mula for a T/A and then sell it and don't put a ton of money into the GP. Get the T/A, be happy. Done lol
