Its Dirty but its gonna rain soon so I didn't want it to just get dirty right away. I'll take more when the weather co-operates. P.S. the subs and everything were custom installed by me! pretty clean huh? :)

wow thanks for all of the positive comments guys! Actually when I first got it the red in the arrowhead was chipping off so I just pulled the clear/red plastic emblem off and cleaned off the leftover glue and walah! I am trying to think of the best way to completely remove all of the red paint from the emblem without messing up the little crome cross in the middle of the arrow head. I want to paint it either silver or crome and glue it back on. What kind of glue would work best for that? Also has anyone tried night shades on the 96-99 style tail lights? How would you go about spraying the middle section where it says "PONTIAC"?

Thanks,
BumpinBonneville17

That sucks, Are you planning on doing any body work? I hate how the rear quarter panels are part of the roof otherwise I would just have replaced the whole panel. I'm thinking about somehow cutting out all the rust then cutting it out of the same piece from a junkyard car, welding it in, pounding down the weld, bondo, and sand/primer then paint. One day I plan to paint my whole car a super white. there are so many scratches on my car that it makes me sick. White holds up to scratches best I think.

I had those same 1000w volfenhag 12s. I went from a sealed box to a ported box, and it was a world of difference. they hit so much harder in the ported box.
