Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

I couldn't figure out how to take them off. I took the two obvious screws out butthey wouldn't budge
 
Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

mine fell off when i took the bolts out...maybe there just stuck
 
Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

well i feel like an idiot now haha i thought there must be a bolt underneath that i couldn't reach.
 
Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

No i kind of pushed on it and it didn't move so i just assumed lol. oh well, they were the only non rusty things anyways.
 


Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

oh well next time,
the only other thing i dont like is the fact the reds dont match or maybe they do and im idiot, doesnt look like it from the pics
 
Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

Each other or to the car? They are all pretty much the same to each other (duh). But to the car it looks similar, not exact but in the second picture it looks real close.I've never painted anything before so not too bad ha.
 
Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

I would have gone a diff colour then red. set the bay apart from the car a bit
 
Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

Not bad. There are actually 4 bolts holding those mounts in. The two on the top and the two inside the frame (the two large holes in front of each one). Next you should look into cleaning up and aligning the exhaust tips. The projectors look nice but I am so glad I went back to the stock style lights. What happened to the CTS pics that were promised?

Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

Yeah your left tip is messed up. Nice job painting and stuffs though. And wax is awesome.
 
Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

Is there a thread about fixing that? I think it happened recently actually. Thanks.

Stick a jack under it and bend it back, unless you have an issue with your muffler hangers
 
Re: Hippo Machine's First Car - 1998 Grand Prix GT

The best way to tell is take a pic directly behind the car, at a low level like this

So you can compare the two tips.
