Garrett Powered Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Doin the wheels too? or they stayin gold? Quote
90_Black_TGP Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Posted April 8, 2006 wheels are already black... and I am going to keep them that way. Quote
Psych0matt Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 very very nice. I want to see a white one too, now :-) Quote
mfewtrail Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 Hurry up and finish it so we can see a full car shot! very very nice. I want to see a white one too, now :-) Matt, a white one isn't going to look a whole lot different from a 91-93 Grand Prix painted white....you should find a good angle shot of a 91-93 and photochop a TGP front clip onto it.

That'd work too, I just figured chopping the top half of a TGP front end and overlaying it on a 91-93 car might be easy for someone. Quote
J Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 WTF is with the cut out in the front bumper on the side? Air inlet? Quote
90_Black_TGP Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 Update: Basecoat on about 90% Pulling hood to paint today or maybe tomorrow.... EDIT: Removed masking, set in tail lights and rear spoiler...Still haven't got around to taking hood off... Quote
TGPilot Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Looks good man. I am not a fan of wings...so I would lose that, but the overal color in the photo looks very nice! Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 lookin pretty good, but I'm not really a fan of the spoiler either. it's too wide. nor the tail lights. nice to see a different color on one of these cars though Quote
Dark Ride Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 that looks sweet!! I personally think the spoiler makes it look sharp, but thats my opinoion Quote
jeremy Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 not my favorite color choice, but at least it isn't Red I would have gone wingless too. Quote

EDIT: Removed masking, set in tail lights and rear spoiler...Still haven't got around to taking hood off... that looks like my spare red hood, what, you losin the snorkels? I first thought burnt orange would be tight with our black wheels. but thats lookin good so keep it . cant go wrong wit black, but Im gettin tired of it too a little. dsm turbo cars look good burnt orange. hmmmm... I got another car I could experiment on it would look wild with some wheels painted that pewter color and the WING!!! OH YEAH!!! I love it! Quote
90_Black_TGP Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks everyone... There has been a debate on my wing before and the outcome was...I am keeping it. It is kind of a personal preference thing for me. I did kill the snorkle hood thing, it just wasnt doing it for me. I liked the look just didnt like the ones I had. That is NOT the original hood, I found a good base GP hood for $50 at a salvage (it was non dented, non vented) and cut the louver holes myself. WHICH btw is a huge PITA for anyone that is going to try it. The original hood was pretty much dead, it had tons of bondo from, I am guessing, hail damage when the previous owner had it. The roof had some and the trunk none. Wheels are going to stay black, I have a buddy that is going to strip all of the old paint off of them and I am going to repaint them the midnight black metallic (since I have a lot left from the original color choice). As of now, I don't know if I am going to put the TGP emblems back on or leave them off, Ill wait until I get the couple of coats of clear on and see what they look like then. I'll post more pics when I take them...Thanks again! Loren Quote
