I ordered 33s for the pregens and a lift kit. Im making a fashion statement out of them now.
























JUST KIDDING!

Im keeping the Bullitts for sure as Last fall I got new tires put on them and finally put them on in April. They cost me an arm and a leg and unless I can get what I put into them I wont do it. If I did get what I wanted I would put it towards a cycle. lol. Right now Im poking around trying to figure out what I could do to achieve some low and be able to run bullitts with no issues. I kinda rolled the fenders on my own but Im not sure if its enough. So far I have not rubbed on stock height on all the regular rubbing roads so maybe it's good now.

When I saw the 33's statement, I thought, no balls. Get some DNA's and call it a day.

I feel like DNAs are too cheap and going to sag in the end. Im really set on SSC if I do lower unless someone can talk me out of it.

So at last the turn signal part of the mirrors are hooked up and the Turn Signal Mirror Project draws to an end. I ended up just tapping into the signal indicator wires because I couldnt really figure out what I was doing with the other location and I figured better to be safe than sorry!












I will try to piece together a write up if there is any interest in me doing so yet.

I think you should do a write-up. Its a really neat project and some others may like to be able to do something similar.

Alright. I will start that and hopefully get it done within a month. lol

do a write up since i still have my arrow led's.

Alright. If you are just doing the signal behind the mirror glass that is way easier than putting a strip in too. I may start off by saying how to do that part first so I can get that up for you and then add the other stuff later. That way you can tackle that and not have to wait for me to finish the whole writeup.

Well I'm now on the fence about what to do here. Ive got flat black fender stripes and my theme is Redfire Metallic and Gloss Black so I have to do something with the stripes. Not sure if I want to go with Gloss Black fender stripes or just get rid of them altogether. I could easily go either way so thats why I need help making a choice otherwise they will just stay and not match anything. lol

I say buy a GTO........or just remove the stripes

You have opened my eyes. I will go buy a GTO right away.




















And sell the stripes with my car.

lol

I say wider Gloss Black stripes, the current ones are too thin IMO.

If you don't like the look, pull them and try stripeless for a while. Without them it will be clean but I like the look with stripes as an accent.

Yea the wider ones where what I was going to get. I may run stripeless for a while and see what its like.

Realistically... They aren't that bad. I agree with the above. They could be wider.

But, at the end of the day. U really can't go wrong either way!

As of right now they are off. Will rock this look for a bit. Thanks for the input.

Its not really as bad as it sounds. Basically the AC hasn't worked all summer and the sunroof decided to act up on me. All in all not too bad and I was planning on fixing them. However my interest in my car has slowly been dwindling in the past 3 or so months. The last straw was when I was out fishing with my brother and he ended up accidently breaking his baitcasting rod. Instead of putting it in the trunk and through the center drop down he tossed it on the floor of the backseat and thought nothing of it. Little did I know that the rod was slightly longer than the width of the backseat. As we were loading stuff in the car he would open and close the door causing the broken rod to poke holes in the door panel. I didnt figure this out until it was too late and I had 3 or 4 holes in the rear passenger panel. Now to most they would most likely get it fixed or replace the panel. To me it was the last straw. Pretty much I just said f**k it I'm done with doing stuff to the car and spending money on it. Only necessary repairs will be done to it as rust will be probably overrun it in a few years anyway like most GPs in the northern states. So to make a long story short there will most likely be nothing more I will do to the car.

On that note it allowed me to decide to sell off some stuff that I origonally had planned to use such as the pregens pictured below.




Ended up getting $150 for them so I decided that I would use that money to start saving for a motorcycle so I could purchase one next summer. Odds are I will most likely sell off the extra trunk and spoiler I have too. It has been a fun 3 or so years playing around with this car but I really need to get my priorities straight. Luckily for me I was never involved in modding the car for speed so I did always have some money. lol. I need to focus on paying for school mainly and would like to get a cycle next year. Hopefully when I get out of college I will end up getting a Firebird or a GTO. We will see.

Although Im done doing stuff to the car I will be keeping it as well as sticking around here. I may do some small visual mods every once and a while but nothing too extravagant. Pretty much my last thing for now I will be doing to the car is putting on the rain visor things on the windows. Had them for over 2 months just never got around to putting them on. I have a problem with leaving my windows open in the rain. lol

I know how you feel, good luck with whatever venture you go on next.

I want ur pre-gens!
