nice looking car.

i see the gp you swapped hoods with peaking into the pic

**RamairGTP2** · 04-09-2011

Clean ride !

**DC Harman** · 04-17-2011

Looks great! How hard/expensive was it to swap the stock spoiler with the SE one? Picked up an SE at a junkyard, but the problem is going to be filling in the holes from the stock spoiler i'm afraid. Any suggestions?

**redlinepontiac** · 04-17-2011

i cheated i had a decklid that didnt have holes in it already, so for me it was to setup. filling holes is easy just takes a little bodywork knowledge.

suggestion... go to a junkyard and buy a se decklid and drill the 3 new holes

**DC Harman** · 04-17-2011

Nice, that would be easier. I'm an idiot and didn't think of this when I picked up the spoiler. Now just gotta find an se decklid.

it's okay, i guess.

**redlinepontiac** · 04-18-2011

sorry its not as cool as a scooby doo -_-

**Bio248** · 04-18-2011

my car is a junker in comparison to yours. at least you wash yours.

**DC Harman** · 04-18-2011

found an se decklid for $40, how much did it cost you to paint it to match? DIY or take to a shop?

**redlinepontiac** · 04-18-2011

i work at a body shop so free? i would charge you 100ish to paint both sides if i was doing it on the side. to have a shop go by the book your looking at 4hrs x 56$/hr a little over 200$. and thats a rough estimate

Dang let's hope I can pull in some favors and hope for $100! $200's not bad, but I'm a grad student on a tight budget!

**DC Harman** · 04-18-2011

Oh, hey I forgot to ask you. How did you determine where to drill your holes in the decklid for the spoiler? I would assume it may be a little tricky to line the spoiler up to where it sits just right on it(being that the bolts will obviously prevent it from being able to "mock fit" it before drillilng)? Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.

Noice!

**redlinepontiac** · 04-18-2011

i used my calibrated eyeball, or have someone hold it up to it align it and mark where the studs hit

**Spartan GL** · 04-18-2011

you car is extremely clean. love that it matches the GTO in the garage.

I'd kill for that GTO lol
