phantomFE3 Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 i have the smoke colored wind visors on the doors of my phantom and i think it would be better to paint them, tell me what you think, there is a pic in my signature of the side of my car, red is the color of my wiper blades and the phantom badging and accents the white very well, but white is the color of the car! i dont know, its a toss up, tell me what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Clean it up... * scrape the exterior company stickers. * shave off that front license plate / bracket. You've got the car, now it just comes down to straightening things out. Keep working on the ground effects / trim / etc. Â - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox340 Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 16" olds wheels  Ok... so you can't part with the advertising or the legal aspects of MN... that's cool. Brian P's idea is good. If you want a car to stand out, grab some good looking wheels. I seriously believe that wheels make the car... honestly! Look at some of the good looking Z's and GTP's around here. It's not because of the debadging (which is good in itself, I do it) or slight paint highlights, it's the wheels. Snag some straight Cutlass convertable or International wheels and get those on. You'll be amazed on how much a eye-catcher effect they can have.  - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 I think it would look better without the visors altogether, but then I don't really know what they're for anyway. I drive with my windows up and my AC cranked up. I love AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine aren't off another cutlass, I bought them aftermarket and to me they DO MAKE THE CAR. In the winter, my car looks like crap compared to what it looks like in the summer! Also, try making clear corners. Makes all the difference in the look of a white car! If you want to do that PM and I'll tell you how to do it! But definetly grap a set of wheels!!

Brian P Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Do you realize how easy it is to pop that dent out of your fender? Get the $5 big suction cup dent puller and it should remove it completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 16x8 GTP crosslace wheels with a 25mm offset gave my car more of an 'on steroids' look IMO - the wheels are perfectly flush with the body; not the wimpy 'tucked in' like the factory look or sticking out like lowrider Mexicali style. i like them better than the other 16" factory W-body rims you could get. btw, my CS use to have those same 15" crosslace wheels your car has. i'd take the visors off altogether and 'clean up' the image like RedFox340 mentioned. joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomFE3 Posted June 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 lol if you think that little dent is bad, you should see the other side of the car!!! if you look closely you can see the huge dent in the hood on the drivers side near the front of the hood, and the ground affects is all busted and cracked, i currently have the ground affects off of it right now to fix all the cracks and breaks in it and there is rust where the ground affects were so im gonna have to fix that, there is also paint peeling on the roof of the car its what i call a "eighth-miler" looks good from about an eighth of a mile away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
