JDrach's 98 Daytona - Snappin chains 4 days

Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

Psh, i only know the bare, bare basics of cars and engine types. More of a computer guy :) But the place my gf got her tints for, which was like 145$ for a sedan?, is offering with a coupon 90 buck coup tints. Think i might just do that.

Thats an awesome deal if they do good work. I went to a place that was a "deal" long story short it wasnt. Around here minimum $200 for a good tint on a sedan if you search local forums
 
Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

Slick car man !! Your lucky to get one of them with the Sunroof, I guess its rare! what number is yours?
 
Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

Eh, just decided to use the 90$ coupon for tints. Getting 20%, ill post some picks when i get them in 2 days. My cousin went to the same place and he said they're good, as did my gf. Plus it comes with a lifetime warranty :P Hopefully it makes the car look even better :). Im not sure what the number is. i know it's in the 1300's, i'd have to check. But ya i'm glad it cam with the sunroof, its so much better. If only it came with the ram air hood! Darnit lol, but i'm trying to buy one online and buy some paint to match it during the spring/summer. Watching all these modded car videos running low 12's and even 9's on youtube makes me feel so slow in my stock gtp :(
 
Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

I just ordered a buncho O crap to attempt to learn to tint myself. I know Ill mess up a bunch but its always sumthing Ive wanted to learn more Ive helped with a few cars so I know the idea but Ive had to many bad experiences so I figured why not rip my crappy tint off and do a crappy job myself
 


Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

The best and cleanest ways to tint the windows yourself is to take the whole window out of the door. It takes a little bit longer but its so much less frustrating to get the tint to look good.

And the Modding begins. Im always doing sumthing stupid to my GS. Most the time just me being OCD
 
Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

I want to just get those 3 things. Spring will bring new tires235/16 and maybe the ram air hood with some med. gulf blue paint that a guy i know can make. those alone will cost well over a grand :(
 


Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

keep stock tire size unless youre going different wheels. 6.5'' wide rim isnt wide at all.
 
Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

I'm having a terrible time choosing which rear decal for the PONTIAC name color. Should i get it in my cars color Med Blue or White?

The link is the white, cant download the picture for some reason. OPINIONS?!?!?!
 
Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

Its already black? So get the pontiac name in white? And ill use some rim acid to try n polish them up at work. We use this stuff we call "rim acid" for chrome wheels.
 


Re: 98 GTP Daytona :)

i did 250 grit, then 400, then 800-1000 wet sanding, and then mothers mag polish.

Or you can get a sander dremal bit and be done faster, then wet sand 800 and polish.

I broke my dremal trying to polish them up, but before it broke it worked extremely well if you know what your doing, just don't get the dremal bit to far into the tip or it will leave a deep scratch that well be hard to get out.
