Mech's WIP (Work in Progress)

**mechguy** · 07-30-2011

I have a car:

Got a steal of a deal on the tires and 04 chrome wheels today. Initially I thought they would look goofy, but in person, these are a huge improvement over the polished stars:

For the cold, a stick-on oil heater:

Engine mods include headers and 3.5" pulley, etc etc. Future modification plans are to upgrade as chit wears, such as KYB struts and possibly a small drop, and larger front brakes.

Upcoming repairs include control arm replacement and potential bodywork. I especially want to replace those black exterior door pillar covers. Not sure where to get them.

Please comment if you wish.

your car is sexy as hell!! i love it!

btw, i want the "Grand Prix" flaps in that very exact font. whered you get em??

great pics, buddy!

**mechguy** · 07-30-2011

Flaps came with the car. So far 3 flaps are remaining. The rear ones were fubarred by Canadian winters.

They would work great for your region though...

Oh also I'm going to look into complete removal of OnStar. The chitty plastic module cover always flips off, and the antenna is busted.

Well I want to find those flaps online somewheresssss!! They WOULD look sexy on my car. I love the way you think haha!

But erm, yeah, I want my onstar antenna back. i have the stud, just no antenna to screw on it. I just want it for looks is all

Gimme a profile shot before I decide on those wheels, but I think I like them on yours. Normally that style is very ugly

**mechguy** · 08-01-2011

What color shall I be painting the front and rear fascias?

**dpzelenak** · 08-01-2011

**mechguy** · 08-14-2011

I did this. Just unplug the module, you could probably rip out the 10+ foot a wires there are probably running through the car too if you wanted. Its just race weight

Nice car. paint looks really good.
