Wow, too cool. I love the work you're putting into the '97. Makes me wish I could've gotten that GT more now.

That's some work going into them! Gorgeous!

BTW how did you turn that LeBaron into a GP... LOL J/k, I had to say it though. Love what you've done on both, but especially like that '01. Just gorgeous, which is something I don't often say about a white car, but yours is.

Finding a real ASCD cowl hood is a pain, I think they look sweet and it's even better when the car can back it up. Can't wait to see where you go with the car man, it makes me miss mine.

not a pain at all. i just called them up and ordered it.


as far as where i am going,

get intercooled nic setup in. (with some p&p also)
get the hood on (painted and finished)
install gmpp stuff i have
tints (every inch of glass in the car)
get the 18's on (the black w/polished lip i have posted about)
morimoto mini retro (with some led stuff here and there)
new deck
possibly swap eibach for ssc


dont think i will do too much more than that and some of that may not happen till next summer. like the reto, deck, springs, wheels (have to afford tires)

everything else should be no problem. but i will have to sped a little time and money on the camaro, and i would like to see the jeep run this year too.

and for the fun of it here where my first 2 gp's.

the gold one was first, it was a 98 se 3100 that had 70,xxx miles when we got it and had 18x,xxx when traded in for the black one. (should have kept if for a winter beater as they didnt give shit for it on trade in.)

the black car is an 03' gtp with just about every option possible. got it with about 25,xxx miles on it. ex wife is still driving this car now.

i got the 97 the summer after the ex and i split and the 01 a few years after that. everything i have done to the 97/01 are all things i had wanted to do to the 03.

pat. i got those off a wrecked 94 2 dr and ran 225/60/16's on them, as my se came with 15' steel and hubcaps, i thought the alluminum was better off
