Cape T/A

Ive made several Appearance mods to the car throughout the years that I have owned my car and I don't plan on quiting any time soon so I thought I would just start a thread that I can keep adding on to.

Here is my car the day I bought it in 2007, I had 16k miles and was 100% stock except for new tires and a stupid windshield banner (which came off directly after this pic).



The next significant thing I did to the car was take off the door moulding, it seemed faded and didnt match the car.





Then next thing ya know I blew my stock engine up with 22k miles on the car. Bla bla bla, got a new engine in. I wish i could have re-painted the engine bay while I was at it, but oh well.






Next appearance mod was some metallic blue decals for the rear bumper "Pontiac" "ram air" on the hood and the front license plate bird





I also added a wideband guage into my left vent.

My factory battery went out on me and I picked an optima red top up from a friend CHEAP, but I hated the look of the red so I painted the top black.




Next I stepped up to a 28" tire for my stock 17" wheels. They hook up a little better and I think give it a mean stance too.




I got tired of listening to my open Y pipe all the time so i put my stock exhaust back on, but it needed some detailing so I painted it up.





I also went through and pained my calipers and rotors again (silver)




I added a small windshield banner to represent my good friend Aaron at Texas Speed.



While doing a gear and suspension swap I painted my axle up.





and while the car was down I cleaned up my nitrous wiring.

More recently I have added some blackbird stripes to the hood.







Then through some suggestions on here I decided to paint my calipers metallic blue.







last year some time I did a wire tuck in the engine bay but never got pics of it, but today I finally got the traction control relocated. I am really happy about this and turned out nice.



my next order of business is probably going to be an abs delete and relocate the fuses and harness on the drivers side.

looks good

Other than wax and clay bar, no. White hides swirls pretty well unless it's night time under a street light at the right angle.

Well, you've convinced me that my side moulding needs to go on my white bird. I'll be doing that tomorrow. I also envy your wheels. I've always preferred the 01-02 speedlines over the previous year 5 spoke chrome 17s. I wish I could find someone to trade with me.

i like the blue calipers, you have one nice bird.

Yah I think it looks much better without it. It works best when using a heat gun, it let's the adhesive come right off.
