I just realized I never put up a picture thread for my car on here, so I figured I'd spread the love some.
A few months after I got it running:

Why I hate would-be thieves:

Only replacement at the local yard:

JDM y0!!!11

Cone filter mod:

restored lights:

amp wire, round 3:

What a mess!

my ugly temp sub box:

GPGT buckets and Lumina console (which required dash cutting to fit, don't recommend it and I wouldn't do it again)

Night shot, still cleared out:

Tint, round one:

Those were vandalized, so I switched to coupe tails.
Moar round one tint:

Coupe tails:

Moar tint:

Oops!

Ball joint failure, ripped the halfshaft out of the transmission

Window tint (don't use the Gila film, it'* a b*tch to work with)

Repainted hubcaps:

My tint faded:

Looks good...sorta.

Painted dash and console, tasteful accents? Or Fisher-Price?

Wheels I almost bought:

My brother has them on his Jetta now. When he trades it in I may try and buy them off him, then save to put the right size tires for my car on them and rock them as summers.
All clean:

Cutlass 'vert FSTB:

Exhaust I didn't really like:

Cleared back out:

HID'*, round 1: 35w 8000k EBays

Engine bay paint in progress:

Oops again!

Rust removal:



Brake fire carnage



HID'*, round 2: 55w 10000k from DDM:

4-high mod:


tint, round 3: Rustoleum tint on the front lights (much better than that niteshades CRAP)

Moar engine bay goodies:

big 3 wire ziptied to the FSTB:

Moar rust repair:

New camera pics:
Tint failness:




Some better shots of the car as she sits now:


Whats wrong in this picture? Let'* see if anyone can figure it out...

Comments and criticism are always welcome.

Last pic = Engine mount is trashed!
The car has come a long way! I'm glad to see that you have 2 buckets in the car now. And the center console actually looks really nice, I've never seen a Lumina center console in a Grand Prix.
I like!
EDIT: BTW, you should do a 96B4U front bumper swap like I did. I just plain cant stand those headlights!

Thanks guys.
If you look really carefully towards the background of the pic, framed by the crank pulley and belt, you can see a strip of torn rubber from the lower engine mount.
I'm thinking about repainting the dash and console a different colour, but I can't decide what I want to do. I saw an '04-08 'Prix on another forum that had a cool light grey/dark grey theme in the interior that looked really upscale, but I can't find the thread again.

That pic is unfortunately old. Pass bucket is still chilling on the driver'* side, and driver'* bucket is still at my friend'* house awaiting some more work.

I wonder if the passenger rail would fit on the driver'* seat...save me some welding (since I can't weld and my friend is insisting that I do the welding on the seat...
)
