My 1995 Aurora with GXP rims....
 

Hello everyone, I just wanted to post my car over here since I did go with the GXP rims, which I asked about here.

The car is a 1995 Olds Aurora with 131,000 miles. I had it for almost 4 years now (Nov. 11) and I've done a couple of things done to it ;)

Hopefully I get everything....

Exterior mods are;
30% tint all the way around, I repainted the bumpers and painted the lower bumper sections body color and the rocker panels (they're both gray factory), as well as removed a body line from the rear bumper (see pic 3). The front cornering lamps are cleared and I put a diffuser in to hide the bulb, the 3rd brake light is led now, I 'smoked' the reverse lamps some tint, I polished the factory SS tips, painted the engine cover body color, and Duplicolor'ed the calipers silver.

The interior is mostly stock with the exceptions of painted silver-rimmed guages, custom embroilered floormats, and of course the stereo, radio bezel converted to single din, the emblems added, custom tweeter location, and the bass control knobs in the center console. The stereo specs are:

Head Unit - Alpine CDA-9855
Speaker Amp - Infinity Reference 7541a
Speakers - Alpine Type-R SPR-17LS, JL Audio VR-400 rear
Sub Amp- Kicker KX1200.1
Subs - Kicker 04 CompVR15" (2)
Signal Processor/Crossover - Clarion MCD360
Capacitor - Power Acoustic 5.0 Farad Cap.
Wiring- All Stinger, Stinger Distribution Block

Performance mods are;
GXP rims w/BF Goodrich G-Force KDW tires, size 255/45/18, Cadillac STS strut tower brace, STS rear sway bar conversion, custom engine grounding kit, KYB front struts, and custom CAI, cone filter that's boxed and wrapped in Reflectix

Planned winter upgrades (as in time off from school, here's not really a real winter here ;) ) are, EiBach STS lowering springs, complete 3" collector-back exhaust and 01+ Aurora steering wheel swap (thicker/feels better).

Enjoy! :D

Beautiful car :shock: I can tell you love her! I think our Aurora members will like what they see.

VERY tastefully done car... !

:shock: wow...thats a nice pisa work there! I personally like the Gen II Auroras myself, but wow...that thing is SWEET!

Nice job ;)

I like the coordination of the colors body,engine cover and trunk.

Jim W will like this ;)

Awsome car, and the GXP rims look REALLY slick! :twisted:

Nice ride.

wow, VERY nice, almost makes me want my Aurora back!

i love your car that is awsome man

I think your car would like nicer with my 20 spokes on her........so let's trade! :twisted:

Very nice lookin ride........if I had an Olds that would be the one! (Rims and alll!)

That is a very nice aurora. Can you give us more information on the STS rear sway bar conversion?

Very slick car man, congrats.

VERY nice mods to the interior....and the GXP's look right at home

That is one fine looking, 'Rora. Like has been said, you obviously take good care of it.

The rims look fantastic.

nice car!!!!

Something tells me that Jim W already knows about this car ( he is a Aurora club Admin too, is he not?)



BTW i feel the same why the others do about your car...LOVE IT :D

I love it. Looks absolutely amazing.

I got a question. I'm not familiar with the Auroras but the gauge rims, was there a preexisting "rim" on there or there wasn't any and you made your own "rim". I'm liking that idea...

had to :lol:

sexy! good to see another kicker guy here too :)

im getting red x'ed on all the exterior :(

hey, good to see you over here (95mushroom.) The rora's looking good as always. :)

that car is beautiful ;)
/cool 8)

I dig the rims.

Thanks for the comments everyone, it's really been a labor of love, esp. shelling $$ out when the tranny died and keeping the a/c going (compressor and programmer). From the time that I've been on here, I do know most of the Aurora members over at the aurora club.

Thanks, I probably would have got a 2nd Gen, but they were a bit expensive for a 17 year old in 02

Sure here is the link on the aurora pages. It's a very noteworthy upgrade

FFTS1999, there's no 'rim' on the guages. I just masked off the main part of the guage (it's actually a face plate that comes off from the guage pods) and painted the corner of the guages, giving the feeling that's there a rim now. I a;so painted the bar across the bottom to balance everything out. Here's a comparo of stock (left) and my on the right...

Ya'll better believe it :twisted: ;)

I LOVE those cars! And the 95-99 Gen Aurora is the best IMO. The GXP rims look great! I like the engine cover too. Nice aesthetic touches.

Very nice car you got there! Keep up the great work with her 8)

Wow...look who crossed over!

Lookin good Shawn...that reminds me, I owe you money.. :lol:

thats looks amazing.

Heh, I wish I did a bit earlier, I would have loved to gone to the New Smyrma meet (if it would have been okay w/them)

Cool, I take it the pics are working now? (Or just the guages?)

yeah I was at work and they wern't working. But great job, I love aurora's and yours looks fantastic.
