Did a little mending to my GT/CS front bumper. I've had some bad luck getting some blown out tire chunks kicked out in front of me leaving no choice but to plow into them. Ditched the GT500 splitter (actually cut it down to use it as the cowl panel underneath). I came to the conclusion that it was jut not a proper piece on this front end, got all blasted and chunked anyways. Gorilla Glued some of the broken pieces back together to get rid of some of the sagging (this glue is the shiznit, used it to glue the glass back to the top of the wife's convertible). So it looks decently straight.

Was never much of a fan of how the paint shop painted the diffuser rather than leaving it black, so I scrapped off most if the flaked paint, sanded it some and Plasti Dipped the diffuser and liked the end result! It's a temp deal till I get enough buck to get the fascia replaced. None the less I'm pleased for now... Check the pics!

After/looks ok but far from perfect:

Dude.... I'd suggest a detail.


haha After 5 years of ownership, I've come to a point where I honestly don't give a shit. I just drive the damn thing these days and that's it. Wash and vacuum it maybe once every 2-3 months and keep up with the scheduled maintenance.

Looks great! Not too many GT/CS Mineral Grey bumpers around. Nice jo. That's the way I would do it.

2-3 months......:tdown::horseshit::thud::thud::thud:

All of your cool points have been revoked.


:roflmao: It's been parked outside 24/7 since I've purchased it so it's kind of a lost cause. Maybe I'll change my habits once I finally purchase all the detailing stuff I'm compiling a list of.

Sweet! was it polished before?

No it was the satin finish.

I didn't think I'd like the polished finish enough to justify the added cost. Of course when I saw a polished Procharger in person I wished I had decided to go that route. I love the way the black looks though.

Put some infinity speakers in the doors and some felt to keep my tint from scratching when rolling down the windows!

What did you use for the windows? Mine is all scratched as well, need to get it redone, but first need to get the felt fixed.

Finally got a chance to start my Paxton install. Almost finished all of the tear down.
