09.5 GXP progression (robster180) updated, pg5

[robster180]

So after I totaled my performance red 08GT I finally found a replacement g6.
$15700, close to 17k after taxes and tags.
Her name is scarlet and here is the first shoot at the station
Plus the first mod-mobil 1 decal ($15 shipped from corvette central)






And my favorite with panoramic assist courtesy of my droid X

Love the seats, but I would look into changing that center display around. I loke the look of the older style radio/climate controls..

I'm with you on that! I hate that center volume knob and the a/c is is step back IMHO.

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing until I sat in it. The display looks amazing inside, here's a pic even though it doesn't do it justice. Plus the white accents of the lights will match the white led dome and map lights awesome, I was so mad I didn't pull them off the totaled 6

And btw your car is tits, the color combo you got is awesome

haha thanks, got some new stuff on the way you'll have to check it out..

and love that cluster kinda brings back the oldies look but they did away with the red...i'm gonna assume you' replace the head unit soon anyway? getting a full double with blue would look sweet...mine can change color so heres what it would look like in yours..and im sure you got some mula left from that accident that's where I got all mine!

Re: Coastie's 09.5 GXP progression

Yeah I'm probly getting the same one you have if its the 4300, its nice that the dic is in the gauges so I won't need the metra. But it won't be until christmas or beginning of next year. Wife forbid me from spending money on the car until after the baby's born in october.
And on the accident I was at fault and my GAP coverage f****ed me so I had to pay $500 out of pocket.
I am gonna try to squeeze some crabs in though later on

Do like I did and wait until your wife goes to get her hair done and slide those crabs right in.

damn sorry to hear that, yeah mine's the 4200, which is discontinued now. The only thing hey added on the 4300 is pandora radio, which who care I don't use satellite radio anyway. Hey could you point me in the direction of some dome and map lights?..i've never been good about getting the right ones.

Re: Coastie's 09.5 GXP progression

The bulb sizes are 168 for the domes and 561 for the map light.
The dome ones on my old gt needed resistor cus they had a slight glow if there was current going to them but it never bothered me.
I just google 168 led and 561 led shopping and pick the lowest priced one on google shopping

Re: Coastie's 09.5 GXP progression (robster180) added hid's

HPut in my old 8k xenon hid's from the 08GT
Lamp isn't on, had to secure the ballast

The setup with a capacitor, eliminates flicker all flicker

All done and back together

Re: Coastie's 09.5 GXP progression (robster180) hid's + debadge

Took the rear badges off and the hideous dealer sticker.
Badges came off easy but the ridiculous amount of sticky shit they use took forever to take off, side badges and gm are coming off tomorrow

I kinda like those badges. Plus its the only thing I could get off the old 6 before they hualed her away..

I will be replacing the GM badges with the indian heads if Nate ever gets back to me. Cars lookin good man!
