    Installed painted air intake box on 84 crossfire!!!

    I like the general idea and the flame work is well done and certainly a "cool" idea playing up to the cross-FIRE name:). However,I hope you are open to a little bit of criticism? Please dont hate me...I'm just a designer myself and cant help it...its my nature! I think the flames should be done...

    C4 Gill Lights Looking for Feedback

    I REALLY like the idea of using them as turn signals and I may steal your idea! (I promise to mention I got the idea from a guy on CAC when people compliment on them as they no doubt will!):beer My contribution will be buying those cool stainless grills ......then the LED's will backlight it:)...

    Ideas for replacing leather seats?

    Do NOT buy the premounted seats! Buy the leather COVERS (it breathes better than vinyl) and use the OLD foam. Both Paulie and I regret the new foam as it is TOO stiff and you end up sitting ON TOP of it rather than IN the seat. You CAN easily reuse the old foam and can even do this yourself in...

    C4 Seat Belt Recall

    Dont bother complaining to GM...just go str8 to the NHTSB. Back in 1999 our 98 Sunfire had a headlight switch recall that Pontiac wasnt honoring. They claimed they couldnt even get the part...and the headlights didnt switch on unless you wiggled the switch and got lucky. We filed a...

    Has anyone done this ?

    JESUS H! DONT DO IT!!!!!!! :W STUPIDEST THING I EVER DID was put that Mid America kit in! Seriously....it caused a stress crack in the seam to develop FROM that corner....even after it was repaired it still wasnt 100% again and the paint has since cracked. There is a TSB on early 84's for...

    C4 Seat Belt Recall

    I'm not sure if they do carry the outers with roller NOW but they definitely DID a few years ago. After my passenger belt got jammed I asked my GM parts guy if he could get the medium grey and he couldnt. He could get the black OEM but being curious I checked for the medium grey in...

    C4 Seat Belt Recall

    Yup they ARE original to 1983...they used what they had extra....pretty smart cost wise. I recall when I replaced the carpet years ago that the tranny belt on driver's side was I think blue. What was kinda cool was that under the carpet on passenger footwell the date was labeled and I found an...

    C4 Seat Belt Recall

    I recently had mine apart to install an additional lap belt so I could add a child seat easily (I installed a tether as per GM's Tech Bulletin too--its an 84 so no airbag before someone points that out). Anyway, My inner seat belt with the grey cover hiding its true color...

    Do not buy an Astro Targa top!!

    Gerry......I AM the original owner of MINE and from my personal experience the owner is SLEAZY, he uses sunstandard edging/trim, his attention to detail is POOR and downright lazy (where you can see the mounting hardware) In GENERAL: his product is poorly refurbished. He sprayed the frame then...

    Do not buy an Astro Targa top!!

    I think I bought mine in 2004 or 05...I'd have to check the receipts to be sure. I got a chuckle when I was on another site and saw your post there as well...I may just copy and paste mine from here there too! BTW, sending you a link in a PM :w

    I hate the color Polo Green

    I disagree. I'd rather buy a Ford than drive one of those hideous pace cars from the 90's:puke Its funny but when the POLO Green and Admiral Blue originally came out there were VERY few cars those colors. The Polo green was areal trendsetter. I think only Volvo had a nice green. Its also...

    Help! 1986 Front Speaker Install

    I do it all the time....seems like at least 2x a year. Since you got the pad back in it seems you can do it with more patience. Is it really all the way in? Sometimes I think its in only to have a small gap at windshield due to not fully overcoming the clip resistance. You have to get the...

    Do not buy an Astro Targa top!!

    I've been badmouthing them evertime someone asks as well. They also put a decal on above the mirror area that looks like $%^& and that when you take it off the paint comes off! They also dont tint/blackout the rear edge so until you do it yourself you can see the brackets and bolts. I had an...
