Good color, agree on the port holes. I also think the exhaust sticking out looks bad, cut them back behind the rear bumber and tuck them up a little bit.

With the port holes honestly they don't bother me, Its a BUICK kinda like a trademark thing. I know Buicks aren't popular and all but I like seeing something different done up.

Like the color and the stance is very nice. The one thing I can't stand about lowered cars though is how they always seem to be dodging every darn pothole and bump in the road swerving all over the place. I guess if ya got some really good roads and stuff then its fine but up here our roads **** and I just don't see the point in lowering a vehicle to the point where it can't turn or can't drive normally down the road. But to each his own, I would probably just break a lowered car cause no way am I slowing down for a bump and most certainly not swerving around one lol.

Only things I would think would be to fix up the exhaust, maybe cut back the mufflers and get some down turn tips maybe so its all clean in the back. I dunno just needs something done to clean it up. Headlights need something done, just don't look right. Otherwise sweet car for sure and good to see some love going to something that isn't the norm or the "cool" car.

Word, they don't even make bolt ons for my car man! It sucks, I looked everywhere. This is what I'm considering for next spring. At least they're not as pricey as bolt ons.. only $507:

hopefully it'll ride better. Like JDC said, I dodge potholes like the plague, haha. Even at regular ride height I swerve all over because my car sounds like it's gonna collapse, rides like those little ricer civics on coil-overs.

The exhaust is another issue, yea. I honestly made it to stick out that far, I like the look, but it's pretty ghetto, and needs to either be redone or just taken to a shop and let them work magic so clean it all up.

yeah the exhaust pokes out too far.. and looks very ghetto..

i still think the rims need some blue backgrounds or inserts

car would look real nice to me debadged and only chrome on the wheels with blue inserts. the little vents and park avenue logos detract alot IMO. tinted tails would look nice with those widows. otherwise nice granpa cruiser.

nice car...like the color and the rims could use a little different style, but looks good none the less:thumbsup:

Seriously.

That's actually a killer price. But take into consideration the cost of having them fabbed up.

I'd like to see how those work out on your car if/when you get them on.

 

[ShiningBuick 10+ year member]

All fabbing would be done for $0, I know people and so forth who can do the metalwork, it'd just be iffy to see how it turns out, I dunno.

I wanna try some other struts on my car, N bodies and stuff, and see if they fit at all. I forget if I said that before lol I had toomcuh Vodka. If I found a more common strut that'll wolt onto the spindle in place I'll just order that pre-fab strut bag kit. Thus far I've just been too dam lazy to rip it apart and try stuff just for shits n grins.

REgardless I'll say what goes on. Right now I'm fiberglassing a bunch of my stuff so the air-ride is being left as is. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

I'm gonna work on the bodywork portion of all my fiberglass pieces (a bunch) over the winter while it's in storage and by next spring they'll be ready for primer and paint when it's nice painting weather, should look good I hope!

No engine work done yet except a bunch of lights up in the engine bay, lol. I wanna supercharge it, but I'd have to buy the SC, new heads, injectors, gaskets, belt, pulley, flashed PCM, etc. I don't have another $1500 to drop on one mod for this car right now lol.

Fake port holes are fucking stupid //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I guess the hood rats like the fake port holes. It gives them a place to hide their crack.

FYI....only ghetto idiots buy them from my store.

I like everything but the port things

 

[ShiningBuick 10+ year member]

Ha, forgot I took these ones.

These didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped, but I really like #1.

Any chance someone could do me a favor and make an avatar sized .gif out of these 2 pics? Not super fast, just moving moderate speed. Thanks!
