Well I finally got the plate filler in and finished putting on the rest of the grills and adjusting the headlights so they fit right. Looks good to me.

Took me a while to figure out how you got your car that low, then I realized you were parked against the side walk.

Looks good Josh.
Take those nostril grills out and wrap the tabs in electrical tape. You won't see the white paint.

Hey Jim thanks for the tip. I was wondering how to do that. lol
The only problem Im having is the paint is chipping off the grills. I painted it with Krylon and well it seems that it cant stand up to the rocks hitting them.

There was some sort of thick clear paint that the collision shop put on the lower part of our van when it got fixed. It keeps the gravel from chipping the paint.
There has to be something like that in a spray can the you can use on the grills to reduce chips.
oh HELL NO! i KNOW you're not contemplating doing the GT swap. :no:

Yea Jim I know there is something out there but its a total pain in the ass to put those bottom pieces on. I really dont want to take them off but I guess I will need to.
Next up for me is the Pontiac inlays and painted mirrors of course this comes after the exhaust.

Pyro has a white SE here on the boards and his mods were mostly suspension and engine related I think his ride looks great as an SE theres no reason why you should have to consider a GT body swap unless you really want to. It just fills out the car more is all.

1/8th inch black pin stripe (maybe smaller). I put it in the nostril groove and the front and rear bumper ridge.
