OR just be a man and Buy the pillar gauges now, no need to wait.

Winter kind of took a toll on my painted calipers, so today i decided to repaint them.

Before:








After:










Rear rotors are a tad rusty..














Couple underbody shots for poops and giggles..










No idea what my next investment will be on the car, maybe cross/drilled rotors all the way around or maybe 12in front upgrade kit, or save up for an SD hood , SD Air Dam, and SE spoiler. Who knows

those rims are so clean! hard to find a set that isn't peeling

They look clean but they really arent. Well at least 2 of my rims are peeling so bad in the back and around the air nosel and also around the lug nuts. Im hoping some day i can slowly start replacing them

Thanks man, the car has it's mistakes with some rust, scratches, etc but all in all it's real nice for being 15 years old and always driven in the winter

thanks man, i have no idea how it keeps holding up winter after winter and not garage kept either! yeah i think so too. i like the whale tail, but i love the SE spoiler alot more. if i could get the SD hood, SD front air dam, and SE spoiler that would be amazing. but i dont have that money laying around maybe someday soon hopefully

Calipers look great.. I need to touch up mine again soon.... But it looks awesome dude.

I dont know what colour to paint my calipers thoe red and black look great together like on your car but I dont know about red and then redfire. The only diffrence from my 03 to your 97 underneath is that my mufflers are basically clear of any rust. Other then that your car is clean underneath lol.

Mufflers are rusty as chit but oh well. the rest is pretty decent though. Paint your calipers black, have it be subtle touch, do the exact opposite of me. or polish them. someone on this forum polished their calipers and it looked sick. The SE spoiler is the best looking spoiler for the grand prix IMO. these cars dont look good with huge spoilers. the whale tail is the largest anyone should go. looks better than stock for sure but the SE spoiler just sets it off from the rest for me

So i spent my sunday afternoon at joshs house (Iceman6667), we flipped and painted my dog bones, i also repainted my cross braces. While i was there we did two races, basically stock on stock. first race was from a 30 roll, it was dead even. the second race was from a dig and i got smoked. i need to practice on my launch bad.

















Couple pics of me following behind josh before we raced.
