hey guys, been following this forum for a few weeks now, decided to do a post. So this is my second car (only 17) i picked it up for $900 from a guy that his mom drove the kids to and from school in, it has 174,XXX miles on it all the leather is in great condition except for a quarter sized tear on the drivers seat, the first thing i did was debadge the trunk (saw it enough times on here 
) but i guess it raised the paint up so i used goo gone and all of the sticky stuff is gone but you can still see an outline of grand prix :/ any ideas? ill debadge the rest after i figure out how to get rid of the outlines. also the bumper is really faded so i need some advice on how to repaint it! its black so i figure i cant mess it up that bad! so sorry for the ****ty pics i used my phone, ill update later with better pics when i have the time but for now....
Heres the list of things i need/want to fix/add
(will keep it updated as i go along *part time worker, have to pay for insurance and gas so it'll take awhile!* Any suggestions welcome, or cheap alternatives!)
-Replace motor mount (broken but drive-able)
-Remove snapped bolt from cylinder head (made it a B**ch to get home had to custom make a steel bracket with an anchor so the belt wouldn't keep falling off)
-Fix Fuel Gauge (reads backwards supposedly, but hasn't given me any trouble as of yet, i think ha)
-Pop three baseball sized dents on passenger rear quarter panel
-New Rims (hate the ones on there, have some old ones? ill buy them!)
-After Market stereo (with the PAC-SWI adapter so steering controls still work
)
-All new speakers
-a single 12 sub in the rear seat compartment
-Blacked out headlights and taillights
-fix the window washing fluid vacuum line
-35% tint on all windows (darkest where allowed in NC :'( black car+black leather=flippin hot!!!!!!)
-Lens cap for passenger marker lights (gonna be replaced once i get new headlights, but would still want one if you guys have an old one!)
-Remove the dealer sticker from the trunk
-nicer floor mats
-LED bar under HVAC controls
-Fix windows (only drivers side works, and its motor is dying i think)
Please feel free to add! excited to be here! thanks!
