DAMN IT!! ! That's a GREAT idea! I really and I mean REALLY dont want to try to pull these back off! maybe a future summer project. .

I believe they are original to the car. I JB Welded the studs in place and clean them periodically.

Correcting myself, after looking at other glass sunroofs I found out that this is not a Pacific glass sunroof but instead it's a Golden Bronze. Wonder if this was still a dealer option or an aftermarket piece? Anyone know?

car looks good!

Got these on Friday morning, very happy with the results.

Next up was repairing the mounting point for the rear mud guards using JB Weld.

Waited a day for hardening and the guards were ready to be put on

I had originally thought about not bothering with repairing the mounting holes but I would have regretted it if the trim tape didn't hold. I bent up some aluminum to secure the guard in place, worked very well and is strong!

Since our unpredictable weather had slowed me down for a period of time, I had stalled on cleaning and waxing the car. Glad I did because a friend of mine is doing auto detailing and paint correction on the side, does a really good job too so I asked him if he would finish what the painter didn't do and also make it shine!

Here's a pic he sent me earlier, said "looks way better in person this picture does it no justice". I'm excited all over again and I don't have to wait 9 MONTHS to see results!!

I'm so excited about DGRR this year since I'll be driving my own car! No more CTSV!!

So you are excited to be traveling at a slower rate of speed?

FC Zach · 04-10-2014, 07:23 AM

Really just tickled I'm getting to take my car this year!

Jess is excited that we get to have a rotary car this year lol. Although, I am pretty sure my cobalt would be the faster way through the dragon haha.

Dude, your car looks NICE!!! If I were to buy an FC this is what I'd want it to look like!

FC Zach · 04-10-2014, 08:09 AM

Thank you very much!

FC Zach · 04-13-2014, 03:24 PM

All polished up and ready for DGRR! Can't wait!
