*pics* Polish Tips help.

[Jtiger360]

I used to sand my stock tips for a while. I got sick of sanding it all the time and I really liked the dual tips on each side look so I invested money in the "Magnaflow 35168" for each side. They look great!

I also love the dual exhaust tips on both sides too. I just got my GP a month ago. Taking baby steps, however I would love to add dual tips on both sides one day.

Are they easy to install? I'm a noob at this stuff ^. ^

Honestly I only used 800 grit and wet sanded everytime I needed to sand it. I used a grease remover between coats to keep it clean. That inlay can be bought for 10-20 bucks from the place I said before. They make all sorts of inlays/overlays for our cars.

:th_thumb-up: I need find out the paint code for the facias in the front. Its not a normal shade of black. Looks kind of grayish.

I painted my lower bumper facias on the car and they came out good, next time I will take them off LOL. It is a nice improvement when they are painted. Tips look great BTW. Keep up the good work and pics.

Thank you, put allot work into them. They will do until I get dual pipes tips. For the front facias, I like the color, I want to match the back fascias to the same color. Are they easy to remove and install?

Yes, just clips and patience. Then mask off nonpainting area, sand, paint and clear.

Sounds easy enough, just hours and hours of work lol Defiantly a plan down the road. Once, I get the mechanical stuff fixed with my car, I am going to paint the facias and start on adding horse power.

I also bought a lens restore kit on eBay for the headlights, comes in the mail next week.

How much is that? lol prob thousands. :/ I also plan on debadging next week

 

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

Turbos can be pricey, but if you plan on keeping the car for a long time, it will be worth it in the long run.

Would love to keep my GP as long as possible, but I got 133k miles, if it can last a wile I would love to add turbo

A new or used motor can be had for free-$2500. These car cars are cheap to maintain and mod.

I can just get a rebuild with the turbo still on it right?

OH the LULZ, read the safely modding your 3800 thread and a lot of of answers will be given.

 

[Oxfire]

expect to do that every 2 weeks if you want them to keep looking that way.

High temperature clear coat. Take a cloth to it, and it wipes right off. Kept mine looking mint for 6 months.

Oh, been there in your shoes! I sanded my tips for a while but I really wanted that mirror/chrome finish to it and I couldn't get it no matter how much I sanded/buffed them. Then I saw someone on GPF here with the duals and that sparked my interest. I talked to my uncle (who runs a midias) and he told me to get the magnaflow tips and he welded them on for me. Pretty cheap! It only cost me $120 for the tips and installed.



As far as the paint codes go here is a list of all the paint codes:

Is graphite the color I need for my facias right?

I think it's Dark Argent Metallic (bumper) but I could be wrong. I would verify the right color first. I had my front and back fascia painted black (Professionally) to match my body.

 

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

Just paint the lower bumpers gloss black, it set's off almost all the colors for these cars. Then throw some inlays in and boom your done.

After and too easy.
