chadz34 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Whatever then... I store 3 different cars and have for a few years now. I've NEVER had a single tire flat spot... Maybe you buy shitty tires or something... Dude, it's aiight. I agree totally, our family stores numerous cars! Guess how many are OFF the ground?

virtuetovice Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 It depends on the age of the tires more than anything. Dried out tires will get flat spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but bythe same token, they should be replaced anyhow if they are shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 ^Man those lights look brand new!!! Good work. Â Thanks. They really help to clean up the front of the car when they are put back on. Â Those are only held in with one screw? Â Yes they are, but you need to remove the black plastic trim around the headlights. Â Thank fully I didn't have any thing living in my car when I pulled it out. Hopefully you guys won't have any issues either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Broke out the cutty today. I was expecting just to drive a little bit, but ended up dumping 50 miles on it. I also averaged 18+ MPGs. Mostly city driving.  I'll have to say. I had gotten really used to the wheel on the GP for it's steering controls. The ones on the cutty seem awkward now. lol     Edited March 14, 2012 by 94 olds vert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 18.2 is it? Anyways, looks good  Thanks Matt. Yeah I'm getting about 18 mpgs driving this car car around town. This morning when I took it out and checked the DIS I'm at 18.4 mpgs. That seems dead on accurate based on how many miles and how much fuel I've used.

94 olds vert Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I gotta say I'm happy with the way this bumper is turning out. Â All of the license plate dimples are now gone. I think it looks pretty clean like this. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95cutlass Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Looks really nice!!! I never did have them fill in the license plate holes in my bumber. Can't wait to see the freshly painted part on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Painted and cleared this today. Â Â Got it outside after about 2 light coats of paint. Gave it a little bit of a wet sand. Â Â Back in the garage and dried off getting ready for some more paint. Â Â This is my second coat of clear, the orange peel is really starting to show. Â Â Now it's sitting in my garage. I'm going to keep the heat on all night in the garage and see what it looks like in the morning. Then start to wetsand it down to remove the orange peel. Then go over it with some running compound.

virtuetovice Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Very wise of you to use running compound. That will certainly make it go faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
