That's the only original thing I do not have from my SC. I wish I had a copy of my original window sticker. I am the second owner, the original must have thrown it away or lost it.

You can always ask the GM if you can do it, but it will be reaaaaallllyyy hard if you do not know the GM personally.

Cleaned the exhausts (my first time doing it so I missed a few spots)







No idea how this scrape happened, was here when I bought the car. how can an exhaust scrape on the sides

Previous owner probably tapped the curb angling up a driveway.

I forgot how nice those wheels fit. What size tires did you end up going with?

Finally hooked up with the same "artist" that FSUsucks1 (Juan) used to blackout the chrome window trim. He is from SoCal and does tours in the NorCal region every so often.

Here is the results of his handy work today with the below showing before, during and after.

My thanks to Don Nguyen..... Email him at Don@WannabeRacer.com

That looks great! Don has a big thread in the socal section, he has done alot of vehicles. I ordered a big sheet of vinyl to black out my window trims too, just havent gotten around to it. Mind sharing what he charged?

I need to do this to my car too.

Don's work is always top notch. I've seen plenty of examples of his talent over the last 7 or 8 years.
