jedi3's Progression thread

[Jedi3]

I got 3 estimates on the car and choose a shop and its a GM dealer and GM & Pontiac approved body shop. The GTP rear valence is only going to cost me 25 bucks more so its a go with the duel valance. Im waiting on a price to paint the GTP valance and my gt side skirts. Chaos can you get me part numbers ect on the exhaust that you make up for the G6 please. I will be getting that done after at an exhaust shop. I will need all new piping ect so if you can give me a full parts list I would appreciate it. If everything goes well the 6 should be at the body shop next week. the estimates range from a little over $3,000 TO $3.500........ I sat down with the body shop mgr and told him how much I love my car and my past bad experience with my Cavalier and that body shop. turns out he owns a G6 vert and is a pontiac guy and we bla bla bla'ed about cars for a bit so Im confident I fount the right place.

Don't mind that the Flowmaster shows for an F-body, it's the same one I've recommended for Mark and everyone else, and my own car. Same with the glasspack. Pick out a pair of exhaust tips for the shop to finish it off with, make sure they're a nice quality rolled tip design.

Thanks man for the info the cars goes to the Dr. Wednesday after I get it back I'll start looking for a Muffler shop to do the exhaust.

Finally! Some real modding on Joe's 6!

[Jedi3]

Bah there's mods just lots of little subtle stuff.

but yea I have wanted an exhaust for a long time. If I can get it all done with parts an labor for around $300.00 i'll be happy. but we'll see what it costs, it sure as hell wont cost what GTR wants!

[[ChaosweaveR]]

I paid about $350 all said and done for my set up.

[Jedi3]

good to know.......

wish I had more money to blow now that the car is getting painted. (aftermarket hood and upper/lower grills ect) but oh well.....

Not sure if being insulted or praised

[Coupe_GXP]

HIDS are pretty much the first thing I have done in all of my cars besides the bmw that came stock with bi-xenon projectors.

[[ChaosweaveR]]

No sure if being insulted or praised

You two think alike.

Maybe that's the persuasion he needs.
