Doubly true since that is a 91/92 GFX.

Junkyards and craigslist are your best bet. Look for guys parting 91, or 92 birds. Don't bother holding out one that matches your paint. Just get it sprayed.

Re: broke part under front left fender idk wat to call it

should think about getting the bumper repainted. paints wrinkling off and just a matter of time before it flakes off. Make sure they put the flex additive in the paint when they spray it

Re: broke part under front left fender idk wat to call it

im more of a subtle kind of guy... I thought about doing a ghost stripe. Perhaps a dark charcol strip on black car would be nice. Or even a flat black stripe on a black shinny car would be sick. I cant stand yellow on anything, a suttle stripe to me looks better than a bright stripe. I also like painted wheels vs chrome. painted looks better as chrome has to be perfectly cleaned and takes awhile to do each wheel lol, painted also seems to last longer. Big chromes look like big DUBBS to me and thats too much flash to be focusing on one part.

too each his own tho

Hawks actually has these for sale as reproduction pieces. Kind of expensive, though.

actually, they are cheaper than what a perfect, or even good, original would usually sell for.

not sure on the actual fitment though. Not sure if anybody has them yet,

Re: broke part under front left fender idk wat to call it

Should have taken the opposite side from the yard you went to, I've found many parts yards are ignorant to the value of parts like these, could have gotten it cheap and sold it for the cash to buy the one you need, or just keep it around incase!

That was FYRCHKN. His turned out good, but not sure if he ever was able to make & sell more. Had some big changes in his life. He's still around, just not nearly as active on the 'net as he used to be.

doors are stupid heavy... a pair of fiberglass doors will set u back about 700$... but they weigh nothing barely... also u need to use lexan glass. The stock doors are heavy cuz GM used that as supports for the cars subframe. Youll notice in the doors (if u peak inside) has a LONG HEAVY support bar in the middle of the door (outside) to help with side impacts and protect the passengers. You can remove these by cutting the door apart to help shave some weight.

I wanted to do something bc the doors u can knock off like 100lbs off the car by lightening them up (and im not talking about using fiberglass doors).

The power window motor weighs like 3lbs... maybe. Its very small. Now say you take out the glass in the door (heavy), the motor and the door support and anything else u didnt need you could see some decent weight savings. I however like my power windows! gona see if i can find a way to keep the power windows and lighten the door up a bit some how.

Re: broke part under front left fender idk wat to call it

its not so funny when they ding your door or chip the paint on your door!

dents... hmmm never really had any, the door skins are pretty thin tho so it depends on how u try to remove the dents.

Paint kits? maybe eastwood? summit sells paint but ive never really seen any kits... except starter kits, but im pretty sure its just the guns, regulators, filters etc... paints are seperate. Car paint jobs arent super easy... youll need activators and thinners for the paint... drying cycles, angle/distance of the gun, too much paint =drips... theres alot going on. Also u need a paint booth (you can make your own but it should be free of dust etc.
