Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

I'm in all the Facebook groups, the drama is so fun lol. Yep, that was meeeee, my mom drove the car before me and she decided to put out a cigarette in the shifter one day. Couldn't stand the look of it, so I put in a new shift indicator

Yes I would agree, however there are some unbelievable posts in those groups...... :th_laugh-lol2:

Foooooooxy. Needs (more?) tint.

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

4x4 status, your going to lower it right

 

[PaintChips97]

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

Yep, needs more tint... someday. Lol and definitely gonna lower it, but I need to start hoarding parts for a while. I'm not gonna tear into it until I have at least the 97-03 LCAs and a sway bar to go with it

Re: '04 Comp G - soon to be shiny again!

It looks better than ever



Snapped some pictures of the old front bumper

How hard was that front bumper replacement? I have to replace the lower air dam on mine, pretty sure that front needs to come off first. Let me know. Thanks

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

I don't know, I had the body shop do it. It doesn't look hard, plus the lower valance doesn't require the bumper to come off anyway

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

Yeah bumper doesn't have to come off for any of that, if your referring to the valence.. it's held by a few push pin fasteners that you remove then it'll pop off.

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

I'm referring to the big black plastic dam(lower valance) that incorporates the air foil. Lots of push pins for sure, but it wouldn't come off on my GXP when I was doing the transmission cooler so there has to be more or an easier way. This is the piece.

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

I doubt the whole bumper has to come off. Maybe a couple of bolts at the bottom

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

Nope bumper still doesn't have to come off, it's like 3-4 bolts that come out the bottom, a few screws through the fender liner and boom it's off

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

Why can't I get my signature pic to be big like the old one:th_angry-pissed:

 

[GTPkirmet]

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

I don't know how to even get a pic on there so you are one step ahead of me.

Also, sense thats an 04 have you done the LIM gaskets? 04 still had plastic, I have an 04 GTP in the family and just changed em.

 

[PaintChips97]

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

Boobaaaaaaaaa, help me lol. And yes, I did all the gaskets and the aluminum coolant elbows

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

Buying an OEM in-dash nav unit tonight. I know, aftermarket head units look nicer, but this being stock is a big deal to me (for some reason) and it works with my HUD

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

Man just go aftermarket and get a nice hu that will mirror your phone then that outdated nav unit

 

[PaintChips97]

Re: '04 Comp G - SHINY

I thought about it, but the HUD working with it had me sold
