Alright I have posted this recently: Debadge, depin stripe I finally finished taking off both thick bottom pinstripes on both sides. I also finished the GTP badge, taking out the black inlay and painting the inlay now black. I also cut out the rear PONTIAC and installed some lights for running and lights for braking. While wiring, I found my 194 rear markers were both burnt out. Never noticed. Now new ones are in and the brakes light up nicely now! I also washed the car today, and I have to say with the new appearance mods, it looks awesome; and it needs a claying and waxing still. I took some before and after photos for 98greenGT since he caught me with a dirty car in this great Florida weather. After taking pics tonight, I do need to direct the light some more. They are right over the PONTIAC, but seem to catch the ground still. So I will make something for that soon. That is why I blacked out the sides of the lenses, but that wasn't good enough, I guess. Here are a few pics and video to get you going. Head on over to the link to see the steps in the doing all the work!! ENJOY. Picture and Video link

Instead of wire behind it, get some plexiglass or lexan and wetsand it so you can't see through it. Then blast the front of it with either nightshade or a red stained glass paint. Then you'll have either black or red pontiace inlay that lets the light show through. Great idea... I want to copy. Edit: Since you tapped into the brake light on one side, it doesn't flash with one of the turn signals does it? You might ought to tap into the third brake light.

I want the wire so it will match the, eventually getting front grills, front grills. I sprayed the mesh with some silver. Plus the rear bumper is a parachute on these cars and some air can flow through now!!

Looks great! I love the Pontiac brake light idea, I might have to add it to the list. The badge looks very good too, definitely one of a kind. Oh yeah, car looks pretty clean too

Not exactly "one of a kind".

HAHA!I debated the O, but that was the first idea and it came out steller. I also forgot to mention, on the A, my bit broken right out of the dremel and I slipped and the broken part in the dremel and dremel itself had me digging down below the A. So I have some slight gouges down there, but not noticeable unless right up close to the rear fascia.
