88red4cyl Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 That is amazing!! That is one of the first white Luminas I have ever seen that hasn't suffered from GM's crappy 90s white paint!! Looks really good!! I couldn't even tell it had been in an accident! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jprice90 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 if you look really good at the gas door, right behind it you'll see some denting, it looks worse behind the bumper cause the bracket or whatever is dented in ..the paint is peelin on the passenger mirror and on the back by the passenger tail light, i really want to get it re-painted, keep it white..but thanks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z34guy Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Welcome junkyard for your parts. Also, grab suspension bits off a Monte Z34 if you get a chance. better handling. also grab the dual exhaust if you want that. There's a lot of desirable parts you can pull off a stock Z34 that will bolt right up as an upgrade... also... that looks good with a gray lower trim... I may just do that on my Z34...

Unless it's body-style specific (2 doors vs 4) than it'll bolt right on. Just make sure the suspension parts you grab are off a Z34 model and not an LS, otherwise, it'll be a moot point. The Monte Carlo is the only W-body we can guarantee most parts will bolt onto your Lumina. Why? because there's different generations of W-body, each with specific design characteristics. Generation 1: -independent rear suspension with transverse leafspring, macpherson strut front suspension 1988-1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 1988-1996 Pontiac Grand Prix 1988-1996 Buick Regal 1990-1994 Chevrolet Lumina Generation 1.5: same front suspension as generation 1, unique fully independent rear suspension bar the leafspring 1995-1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1995-2001 Chevrolet Lumina Generation 2: completely redesigned version of the W-body. (I'm not sure what, if anything will swap over to a gen 1 or 1.5) Sometimes referred to as MS2000. 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997-2004 Buick Regal 1997-2005 Buick Century 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala 2000-2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Generation 3: this iteration was never supposed to exist. It was supposed to be replaced by the epsilon platform. Instead, GM updated the gen 2 W-body and kept it. 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse (Buick Allure in Canada) 2006-2013 Chevrolet Impala (only one still being produced) Also, GMPP has a strut tower bar for W-bodies in their catalog that you can order through a dealer. I forget the part number. Someone else will chime in with it, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
