Default PONTIAC inserts installed

I finally put my PONTIAC inserts in a while ago and thought I would post some pics up here. I got them from dragonZ28, quality was amazing, I went through three sets of vinyles that fit like crap and finally decided to go with the real deal and am glad I did. BTW they are stainless steel and I got them brushed.



Let me know what you guys think.

Nice, i'm still debating on whether to get them or not. Do they come in dark grey or just grey?

Its actually stainless steel (brushed), so I bet you can paint them. I wouldn't recomend vinyles because they wont fit as good as these and if you look up close, it looks like crap.

Sure...you make them fooool!! LOL!

I got the same ones for my ride. Funny thing is a guy i know got a similar product somewhere else. His looked OK but were thinner and kind of don't show much. He saw mine and became a bit frustrated. Mine were thicker, beefier and looked a lot better....not to say cheaper too...

Also have the TRANS AM door ones and the full set of Ram Air grills and fender vents and a WS7 badge....

Get us some pics! Show those things off - afterall, they are very unique and look great!

Also, hell yes I take pride in using better material! The price is competitive, but I use a higher grade, thicker metal, and you get more than you pay for. I'm glad that you like your purchases!

I actually sanded, painted over it with black, and re-clear coated and wet sanded it. It's actually ghosted.

Well, first I need to get me a new rear. Think I'll be getting a 9", then installing my headers, then installing my swaybars, then hot cam and port heads & tune and the rest is kinda just a dream (full stroker, SC, etc.). Maybe later when I get through school. As far as apearance goes, I'll be getting ROH snypers (centers black), WS7 badges, tint, then I'm kinda stuck. All I want to do to the interior is reapolster (sp?) the seats with suade (sp?) center and make them more bolstered on the sides and get a camaro style A4 shifter. Probably be a while before I do all this though.

Thanks! The color is called mystic teal metalic. Not sure of the color code though.
Here is what it looks like with some light. The sun doesn't change the color as much as non-natural light.
