Ah, you mean the ol' door panel off, reconnect the controls and see if it works yet procedure...
I forgot about that.
But with a push to connect panel like that, I bet it's not too terrible to just reinstall the whole panel to check.
Plus, it's a GM. What could go wrong?

Well, I did push the door closed without the panel on...couldn't unlock...
was like, fk my life gonna need to connect panel back to unlock...then was like, fk it's on the panel which means I'll need to unmount switches...
then pulled on the handle cable from the inside and it opened. WHew

With your catlike knack for surviving, that keychain on the previous page would really be fitting.
The badge on the floormat looks awesome. As does everything else, as usual. Glad to hear you are enjoying ownership, J.
What clear coat did you use on the headlights? I got some off-the-shelf can when I did mine, and they didn't come out nearly as good, even after wetsanding. Been bugging me.

^ Ha ha reminds me of the day I was crawling through the Kroger parking lot and this redneck walking with his mulletted boy yelled "light 'em up"! I proceeded to do a quick tire spin and he responded with a, "F*%k yeah"! When in Rome.

So thinking of other small things that could influence and help my build. Do you think the green fitler was really worth it for your Airraid intake? Debating on grabbing one to get more air into the engine and if I do I want to have it before they tune the car.

too much torque I guess
but one of my rear wheels has a crack in it...
inner barrel...
nice, after spending $700 to buy another wheel and get them refinished.
Considering some options...I have those 19's contis already so I'm not sure I want to go 20" although usually if I go aftermarket I bump an inch.
But that's more donkish than performance so I'm not sure...

I like the way those wheels look... Which means you shouldn't.
Are they authentic?

But don't you need 4 wheels...?
#3320
approved!
considering my OEM wheels are "authentic" and have had 2 crack now...
I'm thinking this is what I'll do...I'll contact tirerack to see if they'll let me pay to upgrade the conti's to 20"...
then I'll buy those in 20" stagger and keep the oem with the worn michelin's for when I sell the car.
They are similar to stock design but just different enough. I think they'll look great on the car...so many people have the niche and the ace convex...I really want to try and do something
different.
