Bagging my Park Ave

[ShiningBuick 10+ year member]

You want a vid? I'll get one eventually.. until then, cry about it.

Yea, it's a daily, so much more drop and it wouldn't raise enough to be reliable in the snow and such.

Cost? Around $1500 I think for everything, I got a deal on the front bags (only $300 with mounting kit/ bearings).

The fender.. yea I know. I'm not sure how it got like that. It wasn't like that a few months ago. I tried to push it to see if it'd pop back into palce but it won't budge.. I'll have to loosen some bolts and see what I can do with it eventually, it sticks out more than the pics make it look actually.

It helped that I didn't have to buy air struts for the front or back. Instead of $500+ for rear air struts I paid $150 for bags and like $20 for 4 mounting plates.

Instead of bolt on air struts for the front (which don't exist for my car, lame), I had to choose between aerosport air-in-the-place-of-the-coilspringbags or a do-it-yourself universal air strut kit. I chose the bags because they were $200 cheaper ($300), and easier to fab up.

And then the air management is all 3/8" instead of 1/2", so I saved some money there, but aside from that it's all a standard F.B.S.S. setup.

It's a Buick, Buicks come stock with them. These aren't the stock ones, but oh well.

My rims are 20's.

I'm just not digging it.

Something about the car in general seems off, to me.

But nice shot at building something different.

PS: would look SO much cleaner without the fender portholes.

i have some factory original portholes i never used if you ever feel like upgrading to those (you will need new fenders, mine are oem) ill let ya have em for dirt cheap either way.. i LOVE the car man. looks great!

Well Park Avenue Ultras did. Too bad I don't have an Ultra.. but shhh.

02PA, you got any pics of the port holes? Do they actually go into a hole on the fender, or do they just stick on like these ones do? PM me and we'll see whats up.

Also, thanks for the compliments guys.. don't see a lot of that around here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
