Camera is back! Many Mods (56KILLER)

['96GAGT]

Well as many or some of you know. That I dropped my 400$ Camera.. and well.. On the way to the repair shop today the camera decides to start working so I came home and took pictures of all the mods I've done since the camera was out of commision.

Well first off is the finishing of the over lays.. I originally dropped the camera after I did the Arrow Head inlay in the front bumper.

I decided to do this when I was with my friend shawn at the hardware store. I spoted a can of White Krylon Fusion.. So I made him buy it and this is the out come:

And I decided I would do the Sport Seat Conversion and I have both seats now and will be installing them after the new carpet is cleaned and installed. I am steel wooling the feet to rid them of the surface rust and I am reshooting them with black semi-gloss paint. These look dang near brand new! You can see the difference from the drivers one that I didnt do yet and the passanger side which I have done.

Pics are looking good :)

As for the paint on the feet of the seats, yeah I'll say that's a night/day difference alright. I did the same on my seats when I pulled my interior to clean it up after a water leak... Those seat perches really do rust easily, some black paint on them makes a world of difference!

sweet dude

is the lumbar knob down there a 3rd gen thing?

I havent seen the sport seats in the 92-95 GA's and I haven't seen them in the 99-05 GA's so I can't really say. I'll be shooting the other seat tomorrow and removing the rust. I did clean the seats tonight and they are comming out nicely. This saturday is the day the whole interior gets finished. Thank god. I already know this is going to be a half day to full day project and many pics will come to follow. Thanks for all the comments so far everyone.

Stains came out with very little effort. Used Break Clean to get them off. Just Spray a little and wiped right off! I'll get some pics of the seats without stains.

The vent rings that you painted white turned out really well. I was at a junk yard trying to take the rings out so I could use them on my car but I left indents in the dash around the rings. Maybe using a screwdriver to pry them out wasn't the best idea or do the indents in the dash eventually go away?

GTSpeeder -

There are three clips that hold these vents to the dash and to get access from them you have to turn your vents on an angle and get the clips from the inside to to release. It's easy to use a flat screw driver. DO NOT come in at these from the out side of the ring.. you can crack or put indentations in your dash as you have stated. Get at least two of these clips to release from the inside and they slide right out. For me all I had to do was get one up freely and just pull on it firmly but not too hard. It can be done. My dad complained that I took it out and stuff but retracted his statement after he saw how they looked.

everytime i do something to the grand am or my room "Your wasting your money" or the infamous "im waiting for you to screw it up".

My dad's the same exact way, now he's actually thinking about getting the Razzi kit for his G6 :lol: I think he's holdin off until the lease is up so he can trade it for the gtp version.


Lookin real nice and clean, I like the thin black boarder on the badges. I need to do that to the bottom of my seats already... maybe powdercoating will last longer on those?
