1996 Olds Cutlass Supreme SL 4-Door

First off, I know that this is a truck forum, but I figure that maybe you all could help.

I currently own the car in the post title and have been thinking about adding a little "character" to it. It desperately need a re-paint (Teal Metallic--think Dark Green), because the yellow filler (?) is showing through in some spots on the front, and a new muffler and catalytic converter. I would like to add a set of the Swirl-style 5-spoke hubcaps, a dual exhaust system from the 2-Door Coupe version, and (maybe) a spoiler. My brother says I should get tints for it, and a big- @$$ stereo system with amps, subs, and a whole bunch of other junk.

What do you think?

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

The newer Supremes are not easy to pimp. If it was a Ciera or older Supreme it would be easier.

First off...purple or blue metalflake paint...get a good paint job done too, none of the old color showing in the door sills or any ugly stuff like that. Get matching interior carpet and have the seats done in white leather with piping that matches the exterior paint. Get all plastic trim done in white...no rice boy spray painting...do quality work. Then get as much chrome on it as you can and you are done! Hope this helps...

Maybe I should have been a little clearer about what I was trying to do. I had a case of Miller Genuine Draft for breakfast this morning, so what I said and meant were entirely two different things

What I meant by "pimp" was to turn it into a stylish car without all the "bling-bling-iness." I want the paint color that is on it right now to stay the color that it is, just a touch up on the bad spots. Tinted windows would be a cool thing to put on it IMO, but I wouldn't do it myself. I would have it done "professionally" to make it look sharp.

Leather seats would be really sweet for the interior, and a having them be the same Medium Graphite color the the car has now would be icing on the "interior cake." :thumb:

As for the spoiler on the back........maybe a custom job on a luggage rack that some CS's have and get it painted in the same Teal Metallic color??? I suppose a spoiler off of a mid 90's Cavalier or a Sunbird would work. Nothing too ricey...I don't want some 50-foot monkey wing on the back that ruins the trunk and weighs more the the car itself.

That's all I really want to have done on it. Not too expensive, and yet not make it look cheap and tacky either.

Thanks for the advice, Paco !!! It helps !!! :thumb: :hail:
