JasonWW where did you find that pontiac emblem?

Silver02TA what black did you use for the bumper?

 

I believe he used charcoal metallic.

 

I got it at the dealer, it's found on several vehicles and it's under $20. I think the front of the 03 Vibe for sure as well as the Grand Am. It's about 3 inches long. What I did was heat it and bend it to match the filler panel shape. It's a brittle hard plastic type of chrome and it cracked along the edge in 2 places on the right and 2 places on the left, but it's so small you can't even see them. I did a write-up, but it must have been on LS1.com because I can't find it here. I'll see if I can find the part number.

 

i like mine is different

 

 

komik that's the blackest T/A I've ever seen. In fact it's the blackest car I have ever seen. You're set for runnin' drugs across the border in the middle of the night or something

 

ok i know i sound like a newbie (well i kinda am) where do you guys get your replacement vinyls for the back.

where mine says firebird it is completely faded and the bird is getting faded, how should i go about removing everything and where could i get replacement vinyls.

where it is suppose to say firebird, somebody had it say formula, i cant remember where i seen it on here. i might try to do that in silver or red

and what the hell does CE stand for? (sorry for all the questions)

 

JDP, CE is the yellow Collectors Edition which came with a silver bird and lettering. The replacement stickers can be bought from some of this site's sponsors. I don't remember which one's exactly, I'm sure someone will say. In the meantime check out the sponsors list.

 

thanks for telling me what that meant (i feel stupid now)

now i just got to find some new decals

It's even blacker now than when those pictures were taken. I added a smoked license plate cover with a black frame.

 

can you remove the filler panel from the car if so how? thanks

 

yes go to the hatch, remove the rear panels (right and left), pull off carpet, then remove the wing nuts for the lights, the panel will come out with the tail lights

 

Well done Jason! I love the arrowhead.

 

Seriously, Silver02TA and GotV8 have some of the best looking cars. That rear shot of your car Silver is so friggen hot. I wish mine was silver.

 

Saw them today, the Solstice has 2 or 3 different sizes.

 

No, no. The Solstice has large cast metal looking badges that are ugly in my opinion. They stick out a lot (7/16"?) and can't be bent at all. There are a lot of badges out there so the choice is yours, but the ones from the Solstice are NOT what I'm using. Mine are about 3/16 thick and made of plastic.

Check out these Vibe pics.

They also have a little version on the rear.

I've had both and liked the CETA better on my car:


But I would say it depends on the color of the car and if you've debadged/have accents/etc.

 

Not to bring up an old thread but this is where the search landed me.


Does anyone have the steps on how to wetsand/buff the rear filler to do the blacked out look?

Or better yet, does anyone know where I can find a CETA filler panel. I dont see them ATA's site, or on ebay.
