    Well here are the first changes making it all mine! Warning, my photography sucks! These were quickes…

    Added the AGX’s and Ebach’s. It needs to come down one more inch in the front, actually ¾ of an inch to be level. After 150-200mi, no new shakes, rattles, or other vibrations. I like the ride, it’s what I’m used to, firm, but not jarring. I just about tore of the mirror coming out of my own garage being stupid so it had to be replaced. I decided to give them a shot of black paint. I have not fully decided on the black mirrors, what do you think? You can see the black vinyl on the badges. No De-Badging here!


    Added the lights: the first pic was prior to the Philips Crystal Vision Ultra’s (H3 and H1’s), SilverStar2057A ST’s (to get rid of the egg yoke), and the yellow12 volt’s for the signals to brighten them up, and to get rid of the hyper flash. The second pic let’s you see the new lights and the black and red badge up front.



    New taillights to mach the fronts; again the black badge and the black and red PONTIAC underneath. You can see the black mirrors a little better. Yah yah yah, I need to polish the exhaust pipes.


    Inside…
    Blaupunkt, Focal’s, Rockford Fosgate, Gun’s and Roses!


    It’s getting there for a daily driver.

    Looks gay.

    Just kidding. Keep it up. Personally I think debadging on a GT is the only way to go, but to each his own I guess. Also gonna say those are my least favorite of the LED tails, but again, to each his own. Tint the windows, tint the tails, get some wheels?

    Agreed. A light tint is on the list for the windows and rears. Wheels will be a while: wifey is wanting a set for her caddy for christmas. An alarm is probably the next thing for big red as it parks outside.

    In looking at new lights all around I wanted them to have consistency and I knew it was going to have LED's on the back and I wanted black housings and went with the clear lenses to be able to see a little chrome against the black, with only a few lights to chose from, the three LED's on the front which gives me consistency, plus a little bling with out being totally over the top (IMHO). After getting them, the amount of chrome was more than I expected leading me to the decision to have them tinted the same amount as the windows. The three LED’s are a light, light blue, and are a close match to the angle eyes (when they are working, a whole other story). I’ve looked at some cheepy wheels, but I’m pretty good at waiting to get what I want. in the last month We’ve spent a ton of money on the car’s so the car funds are getting short!
    Besides, it may take some time to find the wheels I’m looking for…….


    Wait for it

















    Ta-Da!!!!!!

    instead of going "lets spend dough on lights, even though stockers look fine" you shouldhave went "lets throw out those ******* ugly pos stock snowflake wheels and get some rims" way.

    i do praise you for dropping the car as one of the first mods.
