This whole pictures taken by winter car so that's why they are little messy :p

I like Daytona 500 interior look but I'm going to try make more custom paint as my body color silver.

My plan is
paint silver dashboard, shift area, window trim.


Maybe paint where door handle? If it can remove out of door or it is stuck with whole door panel?



Maybe paint bottom where shift area is sitting on top but keep leather opener alone. Too much?


Maybe paint speaker as silver?



Maybe paint on side with bottom doors trim?


What should I paint engine for future car show? This engine is from winter beater so that's why they are very dirty. My other car clean engine is at body shop so I can't take picture of it. Any tip might be helpful. Please don't say get supercharger engine. 3100 engine is STAYING!

i would deff clean up the engine bay , or something, then do a CAI or something maybe paint the diag braces or something, but do your inside if your not going to toutch the 3100

Can you read this? This is winter beater car. My other car engine is very clean.

What is CAI? I'm thinking maybe fuse box and dog bone (if that call where it hold engine)

i would just paint the dashboard bezel, the top of the center console, and where the door handle is...the other stuff IMO would be wayyy to much silver.

CAI is a Cold Air Intake. As far as painting the stuff in the engine there is a guy on Club GP called Whitcomb who did some AMAZING work on a guys Fuse Box Cover!! I would paint the Diagonal braces and the dogbones.

ughhhh fuse boxes are a pain i just cant seem to make mine look good:(

You could also get Flip to do some paint work for you Palsut

I'm not saying I'm trying paint it all. I would like to hear what everyone think. I'm all "ear" from you

Actually, FLIP will do that for me. I already ask him but I need know which WHOLE parts which will paint in together.

So far, he knew I want paint dashboard, shift area, and window trim. He ask me can do anything else for me so I'm trying thinking which one I would like have them paint.

Since I own other car so I won't worry not drive it when I strip it out.

CAI- cold air intake or get a cone that would look sharp too

yea the dog bones are the middle pieces that hold the engine



and the cross braces would look nice. just make sure you sand them well and prime them well.



and i know this is ur winter car but getting some new silver bolts for the braces look sweeeet.


thats just my 2 cents

hope it helps

lol what do you keep talking about with window trim???

the door handle bezel is attached to the panel it self, under the hood you can paint the normal stuff, fuse box cover, braces, dog bones, brackets and whatever else you want too, but keep the interior simple withe dash surround and shifter surround, just make sure you get the cup holder painted to match

EDIT: Another thing you could get painted are the window switch bezels (or plates whatever you want to call them) they look really nice with evrything else done

I'm not sure if it is call window trim? Daytona 500 have silver. I remember I broke my window trim and I buy it out from Ed Morad. His ebay say window trim or he got it wrong?

MAC GTP: damn that's sweet! I think I would like paint this as well too.

CAI mean black thing where air filter inside right? If so then I think paint will falling apart if I replace the filter often?

Okay, drop door handle since they are stuck.

search cold air intake on e-Bay for 97-03 Pontiac Grand Prix SE, you will find exactly what we are talking about

OH OH OH Another thing that would be cool is some GMPP Strut Tower Braces with a set of Dons brackets

lol Palsut....u take the stock air box out of there...take it off the hose that connects to the throttle body and then take the PCM out of the bottom and place the PCM on the part where the Air box sits on. The go to autozone(or whatever parts store) and buy a cone filter. Then put the cone filter on the hose and your good to go...you dont paint the cone filter...
