This is my turtle and the first vehicle that I actually had to buy only because I totaled my previous car (00 Mitsu. Eclipse). So I certainly didn't
want to buy this vehicle but all things considered, I am happy with it. Well that's kind of unclear. I definitely chose to get this car.
In terms of modification, my main focus will be in audio system and low budget engine performance as well as some minor visual elements such as lighting. My other cars should give you some idea of my work if you care to look.
12-8-07 I should kind of correct the above statement as I will be doing some more moderate engine modding soon. You only live once right?

INTERIOR
I'm not doing anything too insane with the interior because I like it the way it is but there are a few issues that need to be corrected one way or another. I took care of some aged pieces and as a result, a theme emerged.
The steering wheel was just me getting tired of spending hours at yards looking for a Buick steering wheel that was the right color and not worn out so I got a grant wheel and removed the "GT" emblem and replaced it with the Riviera one off a 7th generation riv.
The trim around the radio and shifter I removed the woodgrain that was peeling off and cracking from age and prepped and painted it black. this isn't pictured but I also have a regal GS shift knob.
There is no such car as an 8th generation riviera GS but if there was, it could look like this!

LIGHTING
I'm sure you can tell I have a fetish for lights.
These two pictures above are pretty old. I have since removed the aftermarket fog lights because they didn't really help light up the road much and I decided they looked a little bit goofy. Definitely still have the HID's and love em. Currently I'm using 12,000k.
