god i miss that ugly sum*****.
 
I just love how it makes a car look like sex and they are so simple. idk how hard they are going to be to make but its worth a shot
 
your probably right ill need all the luck i can get. i haven't done much plastic work but ill do alot of reading on different ways that i could do it and then give it a shot
 


no dought id love to make em and make a ton of em and sell em for like 80 to 100 bucks. we will see how it goes
 
awesome I really need pictures of height and things like that so I have a guide. What you see in this post is what I have for pictures and Im defiantly going to need more pictures then that
 
Have someone do measurements for you. Obviously you can do the bottom measurements yourself since they have to fit the rail area...
 
ya measurements would be great. i don't know why i didn't think about that. any measurements I could get would also be great
 


ok i know that this is a stupid crazy question but does anyone have one extra rail? the more I look at it it seems the easiest way to make one would be to make a cast and pour plastic into it. I'd really need an original for that to work. The time that I would try and do that would be around thanks giving. any takers? If I can get it to turn out id make you an extra copy or send you some money or something.

I would've suggested that to begin with if they were a bit more common. I'd drive around town and look for an 01 or 02 GP with the rails, follow them till you can talk to them and make them a deal.
 
see thats the thing is I'd probably need them for a whole week and I've only seen one set in cedar falls and there defiantly isnt any in harlan. which sucks. I think that if I had em tho I could make a decent set. both sides are the same right? so If I copy one Id have em both
 
I don't know if they're the same tbh. But **** that's right, you're around here. Dude, there are PLENTY of SE and ANNI GP's around. Just gotta find em. I see them in Crossroads all the time.
 
Theres a young girl with a 2000 Daytona that sits in her driveway on my way to school. Roof rails are sweet.

Dont know whats harder to find for me tho, roof rails or stock tail lights. :th_laugh-lol2:

Bio was your sunroof mis-aligned? Looked so in that pic...
