one more

Thank you!! This is Most recent

one more thing... did you make your louvers functional? From what I read, I got that they werent. I'm guessing it would take the same stuff as the gnx's to make em work? (the little relay relocator bracket) I think I'm going to do those on my next T type project. With your permission of course. I dont want to copy someone elses pride and joy without their blessing.

 

[88ZNX]

sure!

Be my guest!! I think its cool to bring new ideas to the table. Thats what this community is all about. Buick guys stick together I've learned. They are not functional however. Just for looks. you can get them at your local buick dealer for $25 each. They are adhesive and you have to cut the holes in the fenders. It really makes a chrome package car look even better!

Sweet thanx.

Ok, i know im reading too much into this but.. lol. do you mean 'theyre not functional', as in YOURS are not functional, or those louvers OVERALL, on ALL buicks arent functional due to their design. I want mine to actually work. im a little O.C. on engine bay heat lol.

Beautiful care very beautiful, I think you ought to granny it though and put the 14 inch wire rims on it

 

[88ZNX]

Oh ok, No, mine are not functional. I believe the Buick Lucerne & LaCrosse, which the gills came from, ARE functional. but mine are for looks only, I did not make mine functional.

wire wheels? hmmmm :biggrin:

Are those the jegs rims?

 

[88ZNX]

Yes, the car is a Limited! I have all of the emblems stored away incase I sell the car one day. Thank you very much! I'm sure your car will be everything you want it to be. Dont give up on your project! I know lots of people that do. It does take time and effort plus cash.

They are basicly Jegs wheels, but have Pacer's name on them. They are 1 piece billet aluminum and are super light weight, and cheaper than Welds.

 

[NJ Torque]

Have any closer pictures of them?

I noticed they were not Welds since you only had the 5 lug holes not the extra ones around the bolt circle.

Hey Rob, Sometimes the picture file itself could be too big to host on the page. If you can make the picture smaller (usually you can click on the picture and edit should pop up and you can resize it there) then click on Manage Attachments, it should let you upload it, then click post!
