Indeed that is the trunk carpet flipped upside-down.... to make a template for my new trunk-liner which is being hand made by me.

AND
Here is what I did today. No more CD burning every few weeks when I got a playlist I just had to rock out to in the car:

AND DONE!


And excuse the super poor lighting in this picture making the arrowhead look bad.... I was in a hurry and needed to be somewhere... but HAD to take a picture. LOL.


If anyone is interested in these, I'm considering making them... they're a lot of fun to make.

Thanks, Mayben!

Okay.... so here's what I got today for tomorrow and next weeks' mods. I keep going I might not have a summer full of progress.... LOL. It might be done soon.... except for waiting for the warranty to expire so I can have REAL fun adding gofast parts. Oh yeah and a woofer or two. Oh what am I talking about? I'll always find something to tweak/take out/change, etc.

Yeah so I've turned into a pic whore... LOL I'm making up for 3.5 years of near silence. LOL And YES I do live in the middle of nowhere but yet we still do have a Black and Decker outlet. Which means all the powertools actually belong to me... insert sinister laugh here ... (seriously though, ask my husband) Yeah, yeah... and all my earthly goods I share... blah blah blah...wasn't in my vows... I share, when he asks... LMAO.

It's the 2008 Pontiac "Bible"... got it before I bought my car... it's my inspiration for some of my mods... it just so happens to have a G8 on the plastic envelope.

Well, someone has to resurrect dead threads, so why not me?

Anyways, been doing a few things to the car over the time I was "on break" from the forums. If I don't take a break every once in a while, the forums become like an addiction for me. SMH. And then modding becomes a REAL obsession. Like to the point that I'll make excuses for why I don't need to eat for the next week and instead require a certain mod. No worries, though, my family still gets to eat. LOL. Seriously though, I think I may have Stage 4 modding disease. And that's sad because my car isn't even very modded. Spraypaint mods do not count I'm afraid. LOL.

So currently in the works are some LED things. I had this whole plan where I was going to do an add-a-circuit and do like a neon rope light but I can't figure out where it would look good so I think I'm just back to the LED strips in the footwells and a few other places. And at this point, I'm kind of just thinking maybe it makes more sense to go out and buy the plug-n-plays with the correct connectors to just replace the stock bulbs. That stinks, considering I've already bought like 20 LED strips and about 30 singles for things. I'm sure I'll either figure out something to do with them or sell them, though. That will be the end of the appearance stuff for a while, except for little nitpicky things here and there, until the horsepower mods are begun.

Got an HV3 and it will be here Friday to start the beginning of the hypothetical turbo build. I already have a spare HD trans in the works--- it's got a deposit on it but hasn't been picked up. (For the turbo, when it --- er um, driving like an @$$hole --- destroys my trans, not because of the HV3). Saving the money up right now for (stock ratio) roller rockers and a cam/lifters/other cam install items, and exhaust. I'm hoping to have those done by fall. Not sure on installing the cam though, may just buy it and wait until the turbo kit is on to go ahead and do that.

Working on getting a beater car down here as well so that in case the GP becomes unreliable as a daily, I'll have an (albeit undesirable) beater to get me where I need to go. I am planning on driving that next winter while the GP goes into hibernation to get the turbo. These plans are a bit hypothetical as of now. I've begun some of the legwork already, and it's killing me that the turbo kit is on sale right now at cartuning, but the money just isn't available.

Why did you buy 20 LED strips? One for each side of the footwells and maybe some for a couple other places would be more than enough. With all those strips your car will be lit up like a christmas tree!

I wasn't intending on using them all haha! They came in a package of 20. Was gonna give a few to my brother... And figured it wouldn't be too hard to sell what we don't use.

Ok now I see why you have so many. I might be interested in some strips depending on the length and the price of them. What do you have?

Looking good. I wish I would have taken pictures of my car throughout the years. I may have some olds ones on the computer somewhere but I doubt it.

Don, let me get a count on them soon. I think they are 15 LED strips... I will have to measure them tomorrow.

Elmoughler, thank you. I need to take some more photos of it... I get engrossed in a project and forget to do pics until it, and three other things, have been done... Then I take a photo. Lol.

Love the car! Glad to see you are moving on to HP goodies. Car should wake up when you add that HVIII and turbo kit. Which kit are you going with?

Don, didn't forget about you. You don't want these LED strips... because they don't light up very bright. MEH. Sorry about the long wait followed by disappointment. I am buying new ones to replace what I've already done in the footwells, fix my 4th brake light, and also I want some LEDs in the grilles.

Okay so now what I did with the LEDs (all 4 footwells as well as all 4 cupholders - front and back and the little cubby below the HVAC):









All hooked up to this for purposes of if I get pulled over and whatnot:


As you can see, the side-emitters in the cubby are much more bright than the footwell lamps. It bugs me (the dimmer lights). LOL.

Edited to fix broken photo link.

Oh, also... to update...
I had chosen the Strattama turbo kit... BUT I took an arrow to the horsepower knee yesterday. I emailed Will @ Overkill and he said to check my car's PCM... of course I have the non-tuneable CANDi system... the AC Delco computer instead of the Delphi. So after being rather devastated yesterday about the inability to tune my car, I'm just gonna throw in my 180* stat and my HV3 and forget about the turbo until my PCM can be tuned. In the meantime, we're looking at a WS6 Trans Am... >:D ... to satisfy my go-faster needs.

I guess I'll be moving on to appearance mods quicker than intentioned. I ordered up a GXP spoiler yesterday. Looking for wheels and I want to do dual exhaust but I can't seem to find a rear fascia for a decent price. I don't even really LOVE the Special edition one, but it would be nice to make a special edition clone out of my car... I would settle for a stocker... and I think cutting mine is gonna look super dumb. So I'm not sure what to do. If I was good at fiberglass I'd custom make something. LOL.

No problem Liz, thanks for the update. I just received some LED bulbs for the reverse lights in my tinted tails, so I need to get those installed then I can get some LED strips and install them. I like what you did in your interior with the LED strips, it looks really good. Nice job!
