UPDATE:  This car was destroyed in a terrible wreck that was not my fault.  I'll miss it.

 

This is the poorly updated page for my '98 Buick Regal GS. The pictures still need to be swapped for more recent ones. For now, I'll just list the mods as the car sits:

1. Ported exhaust manifolds (or PEMs)
2. 3" Downpipe
3. Magnaflow high-flow catalytic converter
4. 2.5" stainless steel exhaust
5. Magnaflow muffler
6. Wizaired brand cold air intake with 9" K&N cone filter
7. Autolite 104 spark plugs
8. 180* thermostat
9. 3.4" supercharger pulley
10. Gates premium belts
11. Silverstar highs and lows
12. Nokya Hyper Yellow fogs

Here's my 1998 Buick Regal GS.

 

Buapo's 1998 Buick Regal A slightly different angle of my car. Notice the black grille - an all-white GS with a grille like this is fairly rare.

Buapo's 1998 Buick Regal Here's what my exhaust used to look like.

I detailed my engine bay and hood. My buddy Mike helped me out the whole way (over 4 hours of work) and he did a hell of a job. Here are some before and after shots of the hood and engine bay.

Here's what the "real" Gunstar looks like. It's from The Last Starfighter, one of my all-time favorite movies.

YOUR REGAL IS REALLY CLEAN! NOW ALL THAT ENGINE NEEDS IS A LITTLE PAINT. LOL! BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU DONT REALLY SEE THE WHITE WITH THE BLACK GRILLE. IS THAT A GSX GRILLE, OR DID THAT COME FACTORY LIKE THAT? IT LOOKS GOOD THOUGH! CHECK OUT MINE & LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!

Whoop! First all-white GS I've seen as well. Planning on tinting the windows? Makes a world of difference in looks on our white Regals!
