Dirty Rockstar Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Okay guys, my talk panel on my 94 just "fell off".. I need a new one, obviosuly, but I am wondering what to do here.. I can get a 92-7 sedan panel in the same color (after paint of course) and slap it on.. Another idea I had was to get a black one from a 92 International.. I like the look they give the 92 sedans.. At that point, I then wpould wondr if converting it to an Int'l would be a neat idea.. I have a shit ton of badges from Various Int'ls I've run across.. I have a poll on this so voting can take place.. COmments are also welcome.. Here is a rear "control shot" for you guys: Quote
ToroToro Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 I'd vote for the full 90-91 style rear end. I like them a lot better. But otherwise I'll go for the black rear end. It isn't an International thing though, BTW. All '92s had a black panel with a silver badge. I think if you found a panel from a black '93-'97, that would look even better since the rocket is red like yours now. Just some ideas... I say add the I series badges too. What the hell, you got the STE seats coming. ( or dont you? ) Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 16, 2006 Author Report Posted April 16, 2006 What the hell, you got the STE seats coming. ( or dont you? ) Rear bench, for the Lumina Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 What the hell, you got the STE seats coming. ( or dont you? ) Rear bench, for the Lumina Steve you may be in luck. The last time I was in my yard (2 wks ago), there was a '93+ 4dr Cutty in your color blue. I have no idea the next time I'm going back, but if its still there I'll grab it if you want it. I can't remember if the reflective material was falling apart or not though... EDIT: btw it took me like 3 months to find a white one, and BrianP shipped it to me. So you might have to be patient with this item. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Posted April 17, 2006 I'm not lookin to pick one up from a member and wait for it.. Cutty sedans are plentiful here (2 of which in my Aquamist thing).. I am simply asking if I should stick with this color, or get a black one.. Either way, I am not afraid to paint it.. Quote
Psych0matt Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 I think id have to see the difference before i would really know Quote

Definately stick to the body color. IMO, the black panel sucks...I've never liked it. Quote

It isn't an International thing though, BTW. All '92s had a black panel with a silver badge. erg... and I firmly believe anybody with an '88-'91 CS should change to the newer tail lights/center applique pronto I think the old style is enormously cheap/shitty looking, coupe or sedan :\ But yes, pretty sure all '92s had the black panel. Mine does, and it's definetly not an International. I dunno how it would look on your car, but I think it looks awesome on the white cars. better than having the white panel anyway. Quote

J Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 would the piece from a lip tail/spolier car work? There is one at the JY in that color Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Posted April 27, 2006 Okay, I pulled all the studs out of the trnk (Were acting as water plugs the last week or so) and I remembered I had this super weld shit from 3M.. Lemme say, it worked WONDERFULLY.. I set it with this epoxy-like crap, and about a half hour later, the bolts were stuck FIRM to the panel.. I'll have some pics up soon, of the car without the panel (Night pics) and of the freshly cleaned car from this afternoon as quickly as I can.. (The pics are on a camera not with me right now..) THanks to all who voted.. I saw an Aqua thing like mine, but it had the blck tail panel.. Looked sweet to me..[br]Posted on: April 18, 2006, 11:24:34 PM_________________________________________________BEFORE : (Sorry for the night time pics) NOW: (Also after a bath ) I'm glad the 3M epoxy shit worked as well as it did.. Trying to break the studs off, is like trying to push a mountain over.. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Is that the coin-op carwash down near the U-Pull yard in Rosemount? Quote
