Psych0matt Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 very very nice. I want to see a white one too, now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hurry up and finish it so we can see a full car shot! very very nice. I want to see a white one too, now :-) Matt, a white one isn't going to look a whole lot different from a 91-93 Grand Prix painted white....you should find a good angle shot of a 91-93 and photochop a TGP front clip onto it.

That'd work too, I just figured chopping the top half of a TGP front end and overlaying it on a 91-93 car might be easy for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGPilot Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Looks good man. I am not a fan of wings...so I would lose that, but the overal color in the photo looks very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 lookin pretty good, but I'm not really a fan of the spoiler either. it's too wide. nor the tail lights. nice to see a different color on one of these cars though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ride Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 that looks sweet!! I personally think the spoiler makes it look sharp, but thats my opinoion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 not my favorite color choice, but at least it isn't Red I would have gone wingless too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Removed masking, set in tail lights and rear spoiler...Still haven't got around to taking hood off... that looks like my spare red hood, what, you losin the snorkels? I first thought burnt orange would be tight with our black wheels. but thats lookin good so keep it . cant go wrong wit black, but Im gettin tired of it too a little. dsm turbo cars look good burnt orange. hmmmm... I got another car I could experiment on it would look wild with some wheels painted that pewter color and the WING!!! OH YEAH!!! I love it!

90_Black_TGP Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks everyone... There has been a debate on my wing before and the outcome was...I am keeping it. It is kind of a personal preference thing for me. I did kill the snorkle hood thing, it just wasnt doing it for me. I liked the look just didnt like the ones I had. That is NOT the original hood, I found a good base GP hood for $50 at a salvage (it was non dented, non vented) and cut the louver holes myself. WHICH btw is a huge PITA for anyone that is going to try it. The original hood was pretty much dead, it had tons of bondo from, I am guessing, hail damage when the previous owner had it. The roof had some and the trunk none. Wheels are going to stay black, I have a buddy that is going to strip all of the old paint off of them and I am going to repaint them the midnight black metallic (since I have a lot left from the original color choice). As of now, I don't know if I am going to put the TGP emblems back on or leave them off, Ill wait until I get the couple of coats of clear on and see what they look like then. I'll post more pics when I take them...Thanks again! Loren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
