Well, since I was grounded for almost a month and a half, I took the oportunity to clean my freakin car since it was a wreck. First, I did the interior. I started out just goin out and wiping everything down w/ some fomula 2001 polish stuff, and ended up tearing out the entire interior, giving it a bath in the tub, and THEN wiping it down w/ a rag, and, where needed, a toothbrush and Q-tips. This took me bout an hour to take it out, 2 hours to clean and wipe down, and bout 3 or 4 hours to put it all back in right. Then I took my parking lights out and cleaned those since they were the origional ones from 89. Those are a biznatch to get out, let me tell ya. It took me a good 30 min to get them out. But it was worth it, cuz DAMN they look nice now. I used an entire can of WD-40, spraying it inside, swooshing it around, and dumping it out, then repeating. Then I did some dawn dishwashing liquid and water for a while. I let them set overnight, wasn't pleased with the results, so I put them in the top cup rack in the dishwasher. That did a pretty good job. Then I took some of the Eagle 1 car wax that is in the background of the picture and put on and took off about 3 coats on each light. And the end result is what you see and is still there too . Then I got a chrome RS sticker from a local show for 4 bucks and put it inside. I seen someone put one inside above the camaro sign but it was a bumper sign, but I think mine looks just as good .The the last one is a picture of my gunmetal gray car, that turned silver in the picture. It's making want to repaint my car silver...lol. Oh ya, and there is also a pic of my recent fender bender . (damn fords!)

RS Signs::hail: :lala:

Black85TransAm

ahhhh, isn't cleaning cars fun???

vic_V8

where else do you get those RS things?

DISTURBthePEACE

I dunno...probably any custom sticker shop can make you one in about any color you want. That is a 4" sticker, which was the smallest ones this company made. Ask to see if they have a logo book. If not, just bring them a pic of the RS sign and they should be able to scan it and cut it.

I like the color of the car.

MetKiss316

MAN, your car would look killer with some ROH ZS wheels.

DISTURBthePEACE

Mark: that is not the color of my car if your thinking its silver. It is actually gunmetal gray, see pic posted below. For some reason the picture came out a bright silver...but I like it.

Metkiss: can you photoshop some on my car, I don't think I've ever seen them

Hg

Looks great man. You can get ya some nice wheels later on... maybe IROC-Z wheels or something. Your lights look NIIIIICE. I'm gonna clean them up when I get mine painted... so you can spray water up inside them??? I've never really looked at one off the car before...

DISTURBthePEACE

Ya, when you take out the 2 screws holding them in, pop out the light, and you can spray water or some kind of cleaning solution up in there to clean them out...just make sure that you can get it all out, cuz you dont want to have to take of the front lens and have to re-seal it. Did that help, or do I need to explain better? I'm not good at explaining what I do...lol :S.

What took so long with removing the parking lights? A kid in my auto body class brought his IROC in and we swapped new ones into it in like 10 minutes.

Yours look really good BTW, almost like new. Nice job.

DISTURBthePEACE

I could not get those damn bolts out one each side. I could get the inside ones, but not the outside ones. Thanx for the comment on the lights, I worked on those things for a good 2 hours or so trying to get them looking good. I think I succeeded .

Hg

Yeah, I think I got what you're sayin. So what is it that makes them so nasty looking, dirt on the inside, them hazing over on the outside, or a combination of both?

DISTURBthePEACE

I'm not exactly for sure really, but whatever it is it them stick out like a sore thumb on a nice car. Anybody know why they get like they do?

I said the heck with cleaning my parking lamps....I bought brand new!

DISTURBthePEACE

And with good reason! They look baddasss, what did they cost ya? No matter how much you clean, new is always best!

You got that right TC......!@!@!....I think the set cost me about $94.00 (GM) from classic industries.....I would have gotten a set of reproductions so I could have saved a few bucks.....but.....nobody makes'em

I lived on a gravel road for about 5 years and NEVER cleaned it once by taking out the interior....Now that i'm changing to a black interior, I took it all out........and damn near passed out from all the dust......Needless to say i had a big cleaning job in front of me.......At least you don't have to drive around without the interior......

Good job, with the lights.......and i like what you did with the "RS" logo....

DISTURBthePEACE

94 bucks...I knew there was a reason I haven't gotten a new pair yet...lol. I will when I repaint my car...New hood, new parking lights, fog lights, new GFX decals all around, new front nose...I want some of the bow-tie fog lights, those are coo . have you seen the boe-tie exaust tips in JC Whitteny? would make a cool look to any 3rd gen I think .

DISTURBthePEACE

12 years of dust is enough to make anyone pass out, lol. I drove around for a few days without any interior, the only part I had a problem putting back in was the part that goes above the doors...those were a pain in the ****! I like my RS logo too, It really looks better in person than in the pics...I got a new pic somewhere...lets see if I can find it

Wootah

that are cut into a chevy sign? spare me the horror! thats the dumbest thing ive ever seen hehe thats going to far! I like hookers dual outlet tips. think they look pretty sharp, or the flat tips like on 4th gens... o well, to each his own

Sickness91Z28

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, I was thinkin about getting a set of the 4th gen flat tips....I heard they were pretty restrictive though.... I just bought a set of 3 1/2 tips....so...I'm keeping them on there as along as I can.....I always put a coat of oil on'em so they wont rust...and paint the inside of'em..

What did you do to get grounded for so long? Musta been good

iroczrockz

If you get the American Thunder cat-back exhaust from flowmaster they come with 3" stainless steel exhaust tips. Really cool. No more corrosion worries and they look good. The lights do look good. Gives me incentive to do mine now. Haven't cleaned mine out in 12 years and you can tell. Tried to take them out once and said forget it!

DISTURBthePEACE

double felony...it wasn't pretty, I'm lucky I still have my car. Ended up with a years diversion, and I'll never go out drinking again.

Crazed-79-Z28

felony just for drinking, im thinking theres more to the story then we are seeing, i just resently got my lic back from a 2yr streak of not being able to drive at all. i know what its like.

DISTURBthePEACE

Long story short: Got into fight with GF, went out drinking with 2 buds, went to a small town and decided to break into a Co-op and a car dealership (the 2 felonys), left with about $700 worth of stuff, got caught, went to court, county attourney said he didnt want to ruin our lives with double felonys on our record so gave us all a years diversion, and to keep from getting 3 felonys, broke the amount of stuff stolen by 3 and we all had to pay like $289. There were also 2 misdemeniors with those felonys. My parents weren't to happy bout it and thought bout selling my car, and I talked them into grounding me from it for a month (at the time, it turned out to be more like 3) and I quit my job at KFC. My GF was pissed, but we fixed stuff and are still together (Nov. 20th was our 1 year ann. ) and I am well past 6 months of my diversion time (its over the end of May) I'm glad the C.A. was as nice as he was, or else I coulda been in jail for about 7 years. It was just stupid kids that were bored/drunk/pissed off. Goes to show how after school activities really do help kids stay out of trouble.

Sitting Bull

Well, you are taking it like a man. Good for you!

Kj Rockz

mn, Talk about asking for trouble.

I hope you never do that again....

DISTURBthePEACE

Trust me, it's never gonna happen again, and my kids are going to know about what I did that way they won't. I just really glad my GF didn't leave me (we had a pretty big fight) and I still have my car. No alchohol is allowed in my car, same with smoking anything, not just cigs if you know what I mean.
