jedi3's 2006 g6 gt coupe (lots of pics 56k NO)

thanks

The lower grill looks awesome!

i have to say its an awesome vid but i'm not good with photoshop

btw check out my photoshoot with my buddies tc its on my thread

Thanks guys!
Yea its really not a video it was one still pic I took. Then animated it by making 65 individual pics one sligtly different fron the last. then strung them together, each frame has around 30 parts to it and each one has to be photoshoped. Making the wheels look real and turning was the hardest part.

what did you us to take off the eyelids? and what headlight kit did you use?

I used a hair dryer and my fingernails then some Goo Gone on the leftover glue. I ran out of Goo Gone at the end and used some rubbing alcohol. The headlight kit I used was a bottel of Blue Magic headlight lens restorer. The Blue Magic was alot of work but did work well, but it makes me wonder if one of the high priced kit would of been easier/less work.

its so sweet!

the mothers headlight kit with the drill attachment does awesome did it with my uncle murano.
also did you spray your headlights with headlight sealer?

I'm gonna have to do some work to my headlights, My eyelids are beat to shit and you can tell the lenses need work in the light of the HIDs.

hey Jedi, looks great!!!

yea I knew my eyelids were in need of replacement but had no idea my lights were as bad as they were till I took of my eyelids. It was well worth all the effort it too to restore the lenses and replacing the eyelids.

Well the car hit 70k this week and she gave me a present to mark the occasion .........

I dropped the car off at Goodyear to have a leaky tire checked and fixed. I get a call and I was like oooooooooooooooooow come on WTF, dam it ill be right there.

there goes all my mod money for an exhaust now I did some web searching and found a brand new rim for $200.00 bucks. Which seems to be a good deal since every used rim I saw on the web was like $150.00 or so and to fix the rim was like $175.00. I know some of you are going to say I should of gotten aftermarket rims but everything I like is $600.00 +. The rim should be here in 5 days or so.

Forgot to update this......

last week the rim came in and I got it put on the car. I went to Masson tire/Goodyear to have it put on since they dident charge me for taking the rim&tire off the car and finding the issue. The only charged me $21.00 with tax for taking the rim& tire off the car and swapping over the tire onto the new rim and balanced it and put a new valve stem on. Smoking prices and great service I highly recommend them if anyone has one near them and needs there serveces. I will be going back to them for an four wheel alignment soon,

3 cars stopped short on the highway in front of me last night. So I had to too and no sooner did I stop and say wow that was a bit close some girl just plowed into me. She never hit her brakes and my car to one hell of a good wack and her POS KIA is all done.









The trunk, upper & lower bumper cover are all done the exhast seems ok and she drives fine and the trunk still opens and cloeses with no issues so I think she'll be fine. I hope there is not much going on with the stuff I cant see?!?!?!?

Clean carfax it was fun while it lasted!!!

Im ok and the girl that hit me are to so O well like I told her thats what you pay Ins for. and then I said you do have ins right? she said yup thank god!

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.

They were all out of cars so they gave me a free upgrade...........


2012 Silverado 2wd LT 4.3L v6 crew cab short box.


It was either this or a downgrade to some tiny ass pos Hyundai. Evan thou it will use more gas I would rather drive this for a week or so. I asked what are you going to do about me using more gas. they said I dident have to return it with any. So I said what the hell why not! I got to say its pretty nice riding and comfy. Going from my sport coupe to this I feel like im driving a house, lol.

they did a great job you cant even tell she was painted and fixed!!!!!! Im super happy with the paint work BUT (and Chaos will lol) they had issues with the emblems and I asked them to fix it. they had no issue with my problems with it and agreed 100% that I was right. the "i" fell off the Pontiac and they put on the 2005 GT logo which is a diff font, style and material all together than the "Pontiac G6". also the gasket around the key hole was F'ed up. they ordered all new stuff and will be calling me when it comes in. I am off on Saturday So I will be going to some exhaust shops for the dual exhaust up grade. So lets see if I get it Saturday. Which brings up another thing since some stuff was not right they did not charge me for the upgrade on the lower valence. Also you'll notice my tails dont match anymore lol since one got replaced so ill have to tint one and then see if they match. if they don't the'll both have to get painted to even them out. (even if they need to go a bit darker witch im fine with.) Also the spoiler & quarter panes looks just fine against the new paint witch is some the body shop and im going to take some of the credit for how much I have cared for the paint on the car. O yea one last thing I need to get a new dart overlay for the dart too since they put all new emblems on.....

Flowmaster 80 series: 2.50" inlet/outlet & 3" tips
After the new muffler breaks in ill make a decisions about doing the cherry Bomb.

the muffler is tucked up as high as it could go. You end up seeing a bit of it but they painted all the new piping and the muffler black to hide it a bit more. It blends in with the lower black bumper anyways. She has a nice little grown on start up and bit of sound in the power band. It should get a bit louder but well see. I can always have them do the rest of Chris's set up if I need/want to down the road. I did this mostly for the looks.

I swear I have picked up some power with this. The but dyno thinks the puck up in the power band is much faster. But we all know the but dyno is not too reliable. I jumped on it a bit a couple of times and I think its starting to break in and get a bit louder and throaty. One time I punched it doing 40 and got up to 80 like nothing. But who knows it could just be me but I dont think so......

...........


I dont think my iPhone does not do it justice or captures the sound well at all.
Its much deeper, throaty and has a nice little grumble to it than is sounds.
