  • Everyone is going to learn on their first time how much the small stuff comes through in the end. I think it still looks improved tenfold. The good thing is this is a white car.... Easy for you to come back to certain areas and give attention, then blend it back in.

    Also there are a lot of cars I don't like stripes on, but this car would have looked naked without them. Red interior = red on the body at least somewhere. Plus no stripes would effectively be de-anniversary-ing the car!

        I guess it depends how much you'd let them go for since I don't know if I'm 100% sold on putting them in yet.

          How about a hundro? They are in pretty good shape, no cracks or rust. The glass has little pit marks probably from stones hitting them.

                If Jon is serious sell them to him, I dont really have a spare $100 with other things I need to do although that is a great price for OEM lights. Let me ponder it and look at some photos, right now I am 50/50 on putting them on the car. I'll be in touch.

                Thanks! Well this one is a T-Top car, and has a 350 in it, as well as a upgraded optioned interior, overall just a nicer car. I would not have sold my old car if the circumstances allowed me to keep it and I would actually buy my old one back if the opportunity came around, I am afraid that car is long gone tho.

                  Take your time, they arn't going anywhere. They have been sitting in a box for like 10 years so...

                  Just let me know if either one of you guys want them, otherwise I'll pack them away for another 10 years..lol

                        NO way, I hated the white grill it had on it when I bought it. I did think about painting this style white, but I am unsure about that.

                        Took the car out for the first time last night, things didnt go well. Hoping I have just a bad radiator (replaced it with a used one last year so I could drive it to my wedding and parked it after that). The car was running hot, did not over heat just running hotter then normal and where I am no comfortable about. I had this issue last year, but I discovered a small hole in my radiator. Bought a used one since I couldnt get a new one in a day and I am hoping that it is bad and its not something more serious.

                        Here's the list:

                        Tear radiator and water pump out of the car
                        Replace both and reassemble
                        Do Oil Change
                        Figure out whats the issue with the brakes (pulling hard to the left when braking and passenger side rotor, caliper was smoking last night)
                        Top with fluids
                        test drive with fingers crossed

                          Does it have the air dam, and was the fan running?

                                Yes and yes, the radiator is actually from your old car... I will check and make sure the air dam is on correctly but it is all there.

                                It is new! I have a new t-stat, new coolant temp sensors, new hoses, new heater core (although I know that doesnt directly affect this)... Only thing left is the water pump and radiator, right? Unless of course I have bigger issues that have been brought to my attention as well. I am leaning radiator tho , Kyle's shit was a mess,
