Re: 97gtpjoe's not so new ride...

Question is.... should I debadge? Im leaning towards yes since it could look cleaner.
 
Re: 97gtpjoe's not so new ride...

and the Viper 5704V alarm with remote start :)

I also got my GMPP handling kit in the mail from GMPARTSDIRECT, Fbody brakes need to go in and NEW carpet
 


Re: 97gtpjoe's not so new ride...

I took out all the interior components , including the dash . I dont want the installation guys screwing up and breaking any tabs
 
Re: 97gtpjoe's not so new ride...

Car went to the car audio shop this morning, I meanwhile trimmed the new carpet to install once car gets home :)
 
Re: 97gtpjoe's not so new ride...

So what exactly is the shop installing for you? Hope if anything they're just doing the alarm the rest you can tackle..hell you could do the alarm yourself as well if you wanted to.

Re: 97gtpjoe's not so new ride...

looks damn good!! Not a fan of the AVS window visor though.. just looks weird to me on your car. And i say debadge and maybe throw a GTP badge on the back

I have actually gone back and forth on uninstalling the visors but it helps in the highway and keeping the window a bit down especially in AZ when its so freaking hot. I still need to install reflective concept decals and yes I will debadge and maybe install the "l67" badge in the back

Oh your in AZ.. Then id probably keep those visors then! L67 badge might look good.. but honestly debaged the back looks sick imo

After further consideration I took the visors off this morning it did look kind of funky, I will not install any badges and will debadge the whole car :) Thinking of a installing a Gen V and XP cam setup next ....
 
Re: 97gtpjoe's not so new ride...

Ok so here are some recent pics with the reflective concept decals on filler plate and bumper , the question now is should I fix the tips(stick out a bit) or should I leave them. I see some GP's with tips under the bumper opening that makes the car look "clean" , other than that I decided to keep modding it so I should be posting cam, gen V and other stuff later on.........







I YES the car was lowered with DNA springs , am I satisfied ..NO but ooh well still better than stock
 
Re: 97gtpjoe's not so new ride...

Great pictures, I can tell the front springs have settled, but the rears are still a tad high. As for the tips they look fine although the left side seems to be hanging lower than the right. Use a radiator hose style band clamp to fine tune the height on the rubber hanger.
