Were you the guy who had said he had factory dual cutouts in the bumper? Also, the knobs under the head unit are the gains for your amps?

The knob on the left is to control the reverse halo gauges, the one on the right is for the bass control of the sub

I like the car minus the chrome lip around the side mirrors????? Looks ugly in my opinion... Everything else looks good though.

Nice to see another washingtonian. I agree with everone, not a fan of the chrome mirror trim.

Thanks guys..yeah the chrome around the mirrors looks okay...I just got bored one day. For the bumper..I got a spare Alero bumper and had a body guy measure and cut the length to the same specs..then paint it and throw it on my car..he said it was pretty easy...he does really good body work here locally

Clean. The red pointers look like they turned out well for the daytime, but I recall you saying they don't light up to well at night.

I just used a permanent red marker and pulled off the needles. They don't light up good at night, but I can see them fine because my halo gauges are so bright. I searched and I could not find aftermarket needles, only ones for trucks and stuff. I like the looks way better in the day though...I hated the white on white
I am curious could we buy them for other cars..you know the red and orange ones and try putting them on...prolly heavier needles..and would not fit...I dont think they are universal by any means...your thoughts?

I just wanted a V6 badge..but this one matched the gold letting..that's the only reason I got it. Yeah appearance wise I am done, except maybe I brake caliper paint or diff wheels...I love my stock wheels though;=)
My Engine Mods:
CAI 3 piece
180 T-Stat
DHP PCM 1.0
CAT Back Exhaust
Possible Future Mods?
S&S Headers
Pacesetter Catback Exhaust
Crank and Alt Pulley..although diff would be neglible
I have already spent to much money..need to stop!!!!!

I think that you should lose the Gold Emblem and get chrome ones to go with the chrome trim along the windows. In my opinion i think gold does not really go well with red.
