Really looks great in red Steven. Two questions. Where is the spoiler? And shouldn't this post be in "My Aurora"?

Looks good. Reminds me of the cladding on a pontiac. Kind of seems like how some lower models won't have the cladding, then higher end models have the appearance packages. The integration of the kit makes it look like the car came with it. Nice touch.

Some deep dish 18's would make that look real good, and yes! Hedman quads will top it off nicely.
The only thing that bugs me about this Razzi kit is how the side panels "twist" like that...looks like a stick of licorice (sp?)

Yeah rims are on the list for things to come...not sure if im gonna get them before Carsisle though.....the chrome ones i want to get are gonna cost me $850+ for 4 then bigger tires are more expensive...you know. Besides i just spent 200 on new front tires anyway.............even though i havent put them on yet lol. Tehy are still siitting here in the garage .
Anyway i like the way the side skirts twist like that.
Jim are you sure those tips for the Grand Prix should fit on the Aurora?? I hope so cause i already ordered them and selected Grand Prix as my car when i checked out......the stock pipe is 2.5 inches correct? So these should fit fine right?

the stock pipes as far as I know are 2.25." You'll need an adapter to make it work. Any reputable exhaust shop can fabricate something to work.

2.25" sounds pretty restrictive. i think im gonna get that 2.5" stainless y-pipe and x crossover before carsisle....then drop the tranny pan and i should be pretty set to drag race

The most restrictive part is where the exhaust splites into dual pipes. Stock it is close to a T-Split. You should go with a Y split and 2.5" piping. Other than that, the stock exhaust should be fine. You don't want the main pipe any bigger or you risk the chance of losing torque.

thx Custom gonna talk to the guys over at the shop about that now.
Also,, the professional buff job they did really makes the car stand out.....it looks like the whole car was just repainted. its unbelievablely smooth. If you run your finger across the finish it is so incredibly smooth, and it glides along. Just meticulous

Nicely done steven! That kit does look great even with the stock wheels, IMO. And I agree that the buff job is fabulous! So what did it all cost you from start to finish?

Steven, I have to agree. The Razzi kit looks great on your car. The detail job looks fantastic also. Nice and shiny. I need to get mine fully detailed. I would like to wetsand mine but am worried about burning the paint and screwing up the paint job. |

Thanks scotty and elan
This was an early birthday present to me. Had no idea about it til my car was gone one day. acutally i thought somenoe stole it cause i had both windows down and sunroof wide open.
I think the total was around 1500. I really appreciate it, and it was the best birthday gift. I never asked for it, I never was going to get it either. I was going to get some better wheels first.
I like the stock rims, only i wish they wre chrome from a 96 or later, but i am defintely gonna get 245 tires next time if i keep these. ;D

yes.. definately get some different rims. no offense to classic owners, I've just always disliked the stock classic rims. They were too bland for my taste.

Nice, just need the wheels, bigger ones.

Post by Custom88 on Mar 9, 2005 8:09:27 GMT -6
I wouldn't go any larger than 17" or 18". Unless you want a jarring ride and excessive wear on all suspension components.

Can you all please stop bustin on each other...please. Yes. My post was rather juvenile. I will try harder to refrain from such postings in the future. I do make an effort not to read posts by Steven, but it's not actually all that easy as most threads contain at least one. In addition to which I do like to read other folks posts, and they sometimes have quoted stuff in them or replies and such. I will try to keep this in mind more as I'm cruising the site. Hopefully the new board will help me out in this regard. Sorry to always be keeping you on your moderator toes, Jim.  |

I'll be there as long as my budget allows. Buying, renovating and furnishing a condo take a lot of money.
Unless someone wants to sponser my trip?! ;D
