Re: 1997 Black GTP, This Makes Me Sad :(

Would definitely drop the Chevy (Lumina?) hubcaps. They just take away from the overall coolness of the car IMO but if you like it keep it. Other than that I really like the overall look of the car.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, This Makes Me Sad :(

Impala hubcaps, they came with the steelies for my winter rims. i dont really care either way, its just for the winter

Re: 1997 Black GTP, This Makes Me Sad :(

As long as you don't beat on it that tranny will last. My step moms had 230K before it went
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, This Makes Me Sad :(

i hardly ever beat on my car, i occasionally need to step on it when making a pass on the highway or getting on the highway but i usually never do it just for fun.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, This Makes Me Sad :(

So i got new window tint, 5% back and visor, and 20% front windows. Got pulled over after driving a quarter mile down the road after leaving the tint shop, but i sweet talked my way out of a ticket. i wish they would of put the visor down further because you can still the stock visor at the bottom. oh well.

Re: 1997 Black GTP, Ahhhhh New Tint!

Holy black.

Yeah...you can tell them to put it down to where ever you want since you're paying...you know that right?
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Ahhhhh New Tint!

Well it was a 4 hour job so i had someone pick me up and i just told the tint shop what i wanted. I just kinda thought it waz common sense to cover the stock visor
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Ahhhhh New Tint!

I drove it tonight. I can see, its tougher but i manage. Im going to the eye doctor Thursday to get a doctors note for tint
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Ahhhhh New Tint!

Wow, that's dark.
I have 15% all around on mine and I have trouble backing up sometimes.

Unless specified...around here they only do down to the ASI line.
I always put a piece of tape where I want them to come down to.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, Ahhhhh New Tint!

I was going to get 15% in the back but the tint shop only had 5, 20, or 35% made me sad
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Ahhhhh New Tint!

Just a few extra pics since i just got a car wash, put the reverse light overlay on today (pain in the ass) and ive had the supercharged dash logo for a bit but never took a pic yet, little off center but still looks alright. Ordered some Figure Aluminum Polished 4-piece Grills off PFYC, should get them in the mail tomorrow, ill have pics when i put those on.

Re: 1997 Black GTP, Just a Few Extra Pictures

Some legit black rims would be nice but these are just for the winter. Rims are just so expensive for a high school person like me working at minimum wage :( and for the red lip, i feel like that would be to much red maybe
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, Just a Few Extra Pictures

Looking good, similar to my car before i took a large dive.

dont go too crazy with the red now :)
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, Just a Few Extra Pictures

Got my new grills on! i personally think it looks really good. well worth the money. Will look 10x better when i get my Comp G rims on to match the chrome grills. Should i keep the little "GTP" or keep it off?
