New Rearend (wet and wild!) and another surprise.....(UPDATED!!!)

[pontiacmaniac94]

so yah, everyone that went to the KC meet and greet prolly remembers how crappy my rear trunk and spoiler looked....and so i definitely decided to do something about it!!

 

found it off of 96 GP, had to crawl through the trunk to get to it, but totally worth it! totally worth the 25 dollars! I am thinkin about going back and getting the front fenders and both bumpers off the car, because they are in so much better shape then my own, but not yet....

 

i also totally took these pictures at like midnight on sunday night, and had the local police come and ask me what i was up too....it was entertaining and totally worth gettina little wet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i also have another addition to the car, i will be adding on pictures tomorrow prolly, and i am not gonna lie, prolly the best addition i have made yet!

Nice! I'm looking for a spoilerless trunk lid too. Also going to a wreckers in a couple weeks to get some mint front and rear bumpers...

That looks great. I'm a big fan of the B4U+ spoiler-less cars.

[Q-Ball]

Is your 3rd brake light have leds? any pics with it lit up?

[EviLette]

Looks sweet, man!

[CSI_MuNkY]

I gotta say, you take really good night pics. What settings do you use on your camera?

I like the wingless lid, but I really don't care for the older style lights

[GutlessSupreme]

yea, old cross-hatch-less tails ftl. they look wicked out of place on the newer body kit, when I see those lights I except to see an LE or something looks great other than that though. Gonna paint the hood vents eventually?

[pontiacmaniac94]

yup, they are LEDs, i made'em up myself.....i bought two 7inch strips of LEDs, and then wired em into the brake light system compliments of the old cables from the old trunk.

Jamie

the settings are depending on what kind of lighting i can get. for those pictures, i had it set for anywhere from 1/60 to 5 sec. i usually leave the ISO speed at like 50, and the flash off completely(i had plenty of light from the car wash)

thanks! yah, i was tired of the cluttered look the old tails gave the car, so i went with the older style. just MO.

heheehehehe! i wanted something different. besides, now, you cant tell me what year it is.....the tails are off a 91, the trunk off of a 96, the HUD off of a 98, the center console outta a 95 cutlass, the back seats are outta a 90 cutlass, the wheels are off of a 95, etc.

 

PAINT THE VENTS????? whatever....i painted em black actually......the darkness really messes with the color though, so that is why they look unpainted.

 

 

[pontiacmaniac94]

wooohooo! NEW hood!!

 

painted the vents last night, slammed em in this morning, and i am happy as heck! i will get better pictures in a few days.....i will need to detail it again before i can take some decent pictures...(i claybared it 6 times, and it still was picking up dirt!) got the hood for 25 off of a 90 TGP.....and i didnt paint the hood or touch it up at all!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[alphagtp]

looks good!!! Where are you getting all of this things from??? I need a red drivers door!!!

Because delaminating cross hatching looks soooo good. Every set I have seen have delamination of some sort. Thats why I went to the hatchless almost 2 years ago and haven't looked back. I love the look. Of course might are also blacked out.

I'll have to give that a shot. I can't change my ISO from 50, so it will have to do for me, haha.

I usually like spoilers, but yours looks good without one. Nice score.

[Addicted To Boost]

Lovin the new hood and louvers

[GutlessSupreme]

PAINT THE VENTS????? whatever....i painted em black actually......the darkness really messes with the color though, so that is why they look unpainted.

 

I meant paint to match I'd assumed you got them off of a black car. But hey, whatever you want man, your car.

[AWeb80]

Looks Great Jason.

 

I like the new hood.....NICE score.

[Scottster]

The wingless trunklid looks great. Much, much cleaner. Those original tails really clean things up too. I gotta say though, as nice as the car is, I would be getting rid of that graphics crap all over the windows...we all know its a Pontiac, don't shout it out. I would let the car speak for it's self, especially since you went through lengths to de-badge the car.

[pontiacmaniac94]

looks good!!! Where are you getting all of this things from??? I need a red drivers door!!!

 

i would say go to pick and pull.....the red one i pulled the trunk and all off of was pretty pristine...except for the driver's side door was mashed in. sorry man, i will keep my eyes peeled....i am looking for some doors myself, so i can get rid of some of the dings....who cares if the numbers still match?

exactly, i wanted it to stand out a little more.....so i went with black...i figure worst case scenerio, i will have to repaint em.....which wont be that hard.

:lol: i did the pontiac logo because i hate all the honda logos and acuras you see everywhere....and you never really see the pontiac badge, it is always a chevy or a ford.....i might get rid of the back logo, i havent decided yet.....we shall see.....i need to clean it up some, b/c i will be *cough cough* an adult next year after getting outta college....

The wingless trunk looks a million times better, but those louvers are hideous. They look like you picked them off a junkyard car and were too lazy to paint them. However, it's your car, man. As long you as you like it.

 

And FWIW, I've seen plenty of good looking grid tails in junkyards around here. They definitely exist.

[EviLette]

Looks great man...

but damnnit..

 

I HATE YOU!!!

 

Why is it that everyone can get the earlier style hoods for their later model GPs.... and I need the long-louvered ones because it BELONGS on my car and I can't find one.

 

WHY??!!?!?!?!!

 

 

I'm gonna go cry now.

yah, well, that is partly true... i am pretty damn lazy.... idk, the gridded tails look decent, i had three sets of em at one time.......i just kinda wanted something different.

 

 

and how many of you guys out there can accurately tell me what year it is?

i have crap from the 89, 90, 94, 95, 96, 98, pretty much nothing matches with the particular year it was actually made.....that is why i like it.

 

 

just need to get some window tinting and a sunrooof now....

[Psych0matt]

love it! Love the tips, too, really sets it off IMO

[CSI_MuNkY]

I can honestly say I have never seen a set completely in tact here in Canada, with the exception of maybe Matts TGP, which has never seen a winter...

looks good, but paint the louvers red! The black makes them look REALLY out of place

I like the grid-tails better myself. And the tails on my TGP are completely intact.
