Thread: Tropical GTP

Car is dirty and its winter but i wanted to show you guys what I have so far!

Looks nice. I've always liked red sedans.

fix your tips!

debadge soon

^ This. Clean up the car, good wash, remove all badges (nobody needs to see the GTP emblem, the whine will tell them everything they need to know), polish, wax, take more pictures.

Atleast remove the "grand prix" on the trunk

Looks good, In my personal viewing, i thing the gtp badge would look good centered where the "Grand prix" was but thats just me

Understandable

Car is looking good, Red cars polish up real nice.

I like Meguires Ultimate Compound, although there is better stuff out there, it works good for cheap.

I've seen it done, its not bad, kind of like the ol GTX emblems for the SLP cars, but it looks much better clean. I have Supercharged on the back of mine, had a friend of mine with a vinyl shop print me off one and I like the look of it. Subtle but fitting. They look best clean tho.

Now break out the elbow grease and do some polishing. A cheap orbital buffer will run you $20, some good 3M polish maybe $5-10, a couple extra bonnets and you'd be set.

Wash with dawn (dish soap, I know)
Dry off car
Use buffer and polish it thoroughly
Once done, go over with a couple coats of wax

Step back and be amazed!

Clean lookin car for the miles.

I enjoy the reverse glow gauges.

you gonna change the rest of the red out for blue?

^ Yes.

You need to do that.

Have it all match.
