Just a heads up, if you are using the Gatling 2.0 shroud, TRS says a 90mm will fit. Well I broke two of them trying to get them to sit flush on the lip when I did my first one. Since I just did CCFL in my retros, I used 85mm and came out perfect. Now I'm kinda wishing I would have went with LEDs instead of CCFL as it looks pinkish in person. Doesn't help they are in a smoked lense with true red LEDs in the middle.

Im using blue ccfls and Im dremeling out the inside of my shrouds (amongst other things)...

[MRANGRYGTP]

I used clear silicone to stick anything like a badge (unless its brand new)...

And the center is just CF vinyl cut to fit as an inlay...

[NegativeOne13]

I noticed in one of your pictures it sticks off the front bumper on top quite a ways. Care to explain?

And on the recent retro, I cut all but like 1" of the shroud off. You cant see the back so it works good. I still need to post day time pictures of the retros.

^^Badge... in earlier pics it looked more lifted bc I simply laid it over what remained of the old badge (ripped out the red part but left the rest)... Once i did the CF wrap over the grille area I removed the old one completely, thus my badge now sits much more flush...

im picking up the Simoniz 7" polisher. Normally $99, on sale half off, and I've got a stack of CT cash, so its gonna be free

[MRANGRYGTP]

^^Free be good.

So today was an expensive day...

Seized rear caliper, fun times...

That and I PD'd the spokes on one of my MSR's and hated the way it looked, so I peeled it all off... LOL

Sometimes being fussy is a PITA and expensive...

So as I was saying on another forum, first my laptop died last weekend, and now a seized caliper, so yeah its been an expensive week...

Im officially poor again.

Nice new sig, FWIW lol.

[NegativeOne13]

Ahhhh the perks of owning a Grand Prix.

[NegativeOne13]

So is there a reason why you went with a G5 badge over a G6?

[Mad Monkey]

Where you buying PD in Canada? Does it only come in black here?

[MRANGRYGTP]

^^PD at home hardware... I think they have red and yellow too...

Thought Id post on here, havent been on much, sorry peeps... work has been busy and Im on more boards now than ever... and there isnt more time in the day!!!

Since my last post here, the car has had:

3 stage mothers buff and wax, roof is now wrapped in 3M scotchprint, headlight anti shake kit installed, some new decals, and a new rubber front lip extension...

Still trying to get some CCFL's for my next headlight retros, running stock halogens for now...

Here are some pics from a couple weeks ago (we had our Ontario club BBQ recently):

[sLpGPGT]

^^x2 that, pretty banging car

[Utter99]

Is that vinyl textured or is it just the print?

[MRANGRYGTP]

^^3M Scotchprint... the good stuff, so textured...

[Mad Monkey]

I still hate that I had to miss the BBQ. Was totally looking forward to seeing your car Gary LoL among others

[MRANGRYGTP]

^^^Yeah it was fun times indeed... LOL

I think my car looks better in pictures than it does in person, but thats just me... LOL
