G Body Christmas gift ideas

[LukeZ]

Hey guys,

What are some relatively cheap (in the hundreds of dollars, not the thousands) parts for our cars that would make good gifts? Engine or cosmetic, anything lol. My parents are asking me if there's anything I want for the El Camino but nothing is really coming to mind haha.

Do the UMI front and back sway bar kits literally bolt right in? As in there is no modification needed? Anyone have these installed?

well if you can't think of anything ask your parents to contact me and I'll be happy to tell them what they can get my GP for Christmas...

When I did the rear 9" rear end swap recently I put a rear sway bar on. Big difference and I am looking to tighten the front end up and put the good steering box gear in.
My Christmas wish is a blue tooth and amplifier for my radio. I have some good speakers but not enough to drive them.
Blue tooth to put my music on.
Styling, profiling and listening to some good ******* music while cruising.
That's what I am talkin' bout

that's nice of your folks to do that.those sway bars bolt in without modification.the front one replaces the front one without anything extra.do you currently have a rear sway bar on your car? if you're running the stock rear lower control arms you'll need a pair of stabilizer reinforcements,it goes into the control arm. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5335822911&icep_item=282421937011

I just bought this for my TBSS (Pioneer TS-WX1210A): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794XV3VN/?tag=gbody-20

They make a 10" version too (Pioneer TS-WX1010A ): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794YHK5M/?tag=gbody-20

Check the dimensions... it could fit in the Elky cubby hole. Young kids are all about that bass.

Yea man thank you, it is nice of them!

I dont have a rear sway bar on my car - does that mean Ill have to have those stabilizers for the UMI rear bar to work for me?

 

[melloelky]

yeah she'd get it..
if your lower control arms are stock they'll look like these.it's just an open channel.that's why you need to put those stabilizer inserts in,yes you'll need them to install the rear sway bar.it's pretty straight foward and it looks like the umi rear bar comes with the necessary bolts to install it.

I'm thinking some new carpet and door panels will make you feel great when driving around, maybe fresh headliner?

agreed. Adding exhaust, alarm, shifter, sound deadening, speakers, dakota digital dash, etc...

and under the hood....depends on what type of engine you have...

I wish more auto/hot rod shops had better black friday deals. I want to see more EFI systems like half off lol.
