Thank you everyone. I will have tire shop take a look at my struts if need to replace because my car is shaking at 35-65 mph. I will bring it over tomorrow. If yes then I guess I have no choice to replace oem strut parts. Aftermarket parts is too way much. Maybe I will leave my car park rest of summer to save some money to start lower it.

I don't feel like make other thread.

I got GM exhaust tips but one problem that it is not fit. It is same size as my exhaust pipe. My exhaust is GMPP exhaust system. I thought it is same size as my current exhaust tips. I guess it is my fault for not measure it instead thinking it will be fine as long it is gm parts should be work. I guess not. Bummer. It looks hot. I guess I will have to return it back and order 3 inches tips on ebay that should fit my exhuast pipe.





wash/wax job

This car is super hot. Lot of people/neighor telling me "nice ride" or "nice car" while I'm doing wax job behind the building lol

I give it wax for whole body, flip's tint tail, and everywhere. I use rain-x wipe to make my glass shiny too.

Enjoy the pictures. It might be not best pictures because I'm at my dad's apt. I forgot bring my camera so I borrow his camera. Boy, I'm worn out. I have been working on it for 8 hours. It is worth it for make my car sexy again.

When you put on the new tips, please don't make them stick out so far.

You can take these tips and have them welded on at an exhaust shop.

I thought I need big size to weld it. I didn't know same size pipe can weld like that. I guess that's good new. laugh

Believe me, I'm not trying make my exhaust tip stick out too far like ricer or whatever. It is same size as my current tips and new dual tips. I did remove both of them and try push it all way as I can. It is still same. frown

Take the new tips to a cheap muffler shop and have them weld the new tips on there. It will be cheap, and they won't stick out and look stupid like the ones on there now do.

It shouldn't cost you more than $30 or so to have someone weld the new tips on, and you can sell your old tips for more than that.

BLEWGTP: I will keep you in my mind if I want to sell it.

Weld it might work but it is still same size to stick out.

See example. It is all way to pipe and still same as my current tip.

I didn't paint it. Body shop paint for me. All I know it is GM galaxy silver paint from GM body shop. They still look good. I have tiny chip from road stone but it is not hard to notice.

I think you should find the first pic location and take a pic there again with the new wheel setup! On the gravel, then get back to us.

I always wondered what those rims looked like on a GP. Looks good.

Anything looks better than those terrible 3-spokes. I had them too. They're awful.
