Let him know what you think. No comment necessary here! :cheers:

 

Editing the picture link, I did some site work last night and moved a few files around.

####, you see a thread w/ your name on it you've got start worrying.  I would've guessed Paco would be the responsible party.

 

But c'mon, you've got to post a somewhat better pic:

This is more of a starting point.  Next I want to take off the pinstriping and make some different grand prix logos for the doors in a different font that aren't quite as big.  I'd photochop a picture quickly, but I'm feeling lazy.

Here's the car I got the idea from:

Honestly I don't think it looks ricey.  I mean, I bash ricers all the time and it's usually because the car has more vinyl than paint showing.  I'm trying to keep this minimal on the vinyl, yet still keep some gold accents on the car, otherwise it wouldn't be the "Black and Gold GTP"

I don't think it looks ricey. And if you like stripes, it looks good and you did a nice job.  :thumb:

But for me, I don't care much for stripes. I think they distract from the "clean" lines of a car. Just like when people put those chrome door edge strips on. (not that I'm comparing them to your stripes) But it breaks it up to much. Just my .02.

Jon - You don't need to justify your mods to your car IMO.

 

If you like them that is all that matters :cheers:  :lol:

I'm with rrsob!

 

I am not big on stripes either, but if you like it, that is all that matters.  It doesn't make it look ricey, I am just not big on stripes.  I don't even like pin-striping.

get clear corners

I dunno, as far as mods go clear corners seem like a waste of money, just my opinion though.  There's more stuff I'd rather get before I'd shell out the money on those.

Thank you :)

 

But, I did throw the pics out there for opinions, good or bad.  I mean, what appeals to one person will not always do it for another person.  Personally I think they look decent, not too much, but enough to set my car off from all the other ones.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.
