Nice are you putting the flares on too?
I considered the flares but I have the same stage 1 Lauren Engineering ground effects as my Monte to install so I bought the black wheel well molding instead to work better with them.

Looks nice! Where did you get the vents?
I believe I bought those new on Ebay from ThePartsPlace same place I bought my hood tach.

I don't want a black car but I want it painted a dark color so I might go with a very dark cherry that is almost black but I have time to change my mind also.

I like the black cherry colors, but I guess you could say I'm a little biased :mrgreen:

So while bolting up the GbodyParts front spoiler I must have pulled on the cord with the 500 watt halogon light and it rested against the middle of the passenger side of the spoiler long enough to warp it pretty bad so I tried my heat gun on low and spraying it with water to get it back in shape and that didn't work. so my solution was I cut a piece of 1/8" aluminum to match the full length and width of the inside of the spoiler and scuffed both surfaces up and applied 3M panelbond and then used a piece of 1/8" steel to apply pressure from the outside and clamped the crap out of it.
Worked perfectly!

3M Panelbond is great stuff, that was a pretty slick fix.

WHERE did you get those wheels? I keep drooling over them Everytime I click on this thread.

I bought the ARE's on CL they had been on there a while when I saw the add so I was surprised he still had them when I called. I paid $150 for the whole set, as soon as I saw them I thought they would look good on the Regal.
