RATE THIS CAR AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YA'LL THINK
This is my T-Top Cutlass Supreme that I've had for over seven years now. Yes it's my daily driver. I'm constantly trying to add something to it to make it look different from the rest. I'm always updating this page, so give me some feedback and feel free to sign the guestbook.
NEW PAINT IS FINISHED!! READY TO HIT THE STREETS!!!
The color is called Inferno Red Crystal Pearl
Tell me what you think about it.
Gotta love pearl colors!!
The paint has a sort-of glow to it when the sun hits it right. Pics just don't do it justice!!

I had to go to China for 2 weeks for work. I stayed in Guangzhou and Hangzhou. Below are some pics I snapped at the Porsche, Maserati, and Ferrari showrooms in Hangzhou (who knew the Chinese were ballin like that!!). Unfortunately I didn't have time to stop by the Lambo and Mercedes showrooms.
The new Panamera Sweet ass Carrera S
I can't remember this model Some big Maserati sedan
Another Maserati, The Ferrari California I think.
and the new Chinese homie!
My favorite model: the F430 Engine shot
You know who it is. I wish the homie would've got the whole car in the pic though.
8-21-09: HIDs Installed....... All 4 lights!!
I've only seen like 2 cars on here that did a complete HID conversion on a 4-headlight car. So I said F*** it, why not give it a shot myself. Everything is wired to turn on with the stock headlight switches. Tell me what u think.
Oh yeah, the high beams are completely unnecessary. The low beams are plenty bright enough.
Before After
Low Beams 10,000K
High Beams 8,000K
2-lights on 4-lights on
7-8-09: I been sweatin hard on the Cutlass!! lol
I put on the new upper door panels, aluminum window cranks, and the grills I painted a while back. I'll probably go back and dye the upper panels gloss white so they match the lowers a lil better, but it'll ride for now.
Finished up the speaker grills on the rear deck and replaced the rear dome lights with chrome bezels and red LEDs.
Last weekend I finally started my lil project to dress up the engine bay. I cleaned, sanded, and painted the wheel wells and front brace flat black. I'll work on the firewall next, then the underside of the hood and motor. I got a lot of work left to finish this, but it'll get there eventually (and look damn good too).
I replaced all the interior lights with red LEDs. Man it looks too good with it hittin the white guts like that. My camera isn't the best, so it looks fuzzy and a little orange in the pics.
Had to throw up a pic of the homie's Lincoln on them 24s. Nice!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
18" 150 Spoke Wires I used to have. When all else fails to shine, a set of spokes will make any G-Body look clean. I had the color matching chips on the knockoff with the oldsmobile emblem, and color matching powdercoated brake dust shields.
The paint is called Wineberry Pearlcoat and I got some extra coats of clear on it too, it looks too good when the sun hit it.
20% Mirror tint. I can see you, but all you see is the look on your face. I Put on the '81 Cutlass reverse lenses to add a lil more color to the rearend.
14" Oldsmobile rally wheels and BFG Radial T/A tires. I ride these in the winter (yeah white wheels get dirty REAL quick too).
Feb. '09 ice storm, car was completely covered in ice.

Steering/Suspension Modifications

-Monroe Sensa-Trac Shocks

My SBC with a few bolt-on parts, nothing too major just yet.
Got the 16" electric fan and 2-row all aluminum radiator to keep things cool.
Old dual exhaust with glasspacks and chrome exhaust tips.
2.25" exhaust tubing and some 40-series flowmaster mufflers with 3.5" stainless steel exhuast tips. The G-body dual exhaust transmission crossmember from THE ICEMAN makes installing duals a hell of a lot easier too.

Couple random pics of the exhaust tips
