Default GTS Rear Marker Lights and Bumperette Delete

I was able to find time yesterday to go look at progress on my GTS.
The rear marker lights are bing deleted along with the bumperettes in the bumper. The hatch is also being replaced with another one with the spoiler & wiper holes deleted for my "whack the wing" look.

New interior from the great "Paul Champagne" in the works as well.

Hey Roger, thats a nice ,cant wait to see your NEW look.
I would strongly recommend that you remove the wheels and put on some junkers till the car has been painted,
Overspray will accumulate on the fine looking wheels and it will never be able to fully be removed, also cover the seats with plastic bags tightly, and wipe the other interior surfaces down with some type of either leather protectant or Armorall, this will speed up the cleaning process , once your ride is out of the shop
Dont install any new interior parts till the paint has been completed, goodluck, Stan

Rog,

Looking good, man I'm getting jealous. Both you and Sterling are deleting the side marker lights and rear wing and wiper.

So what's the ex-rear wiper switch going to control now?

Smokescreen? Police evasion rear oil spray?


Can't wait to see the baby's new clean bottom.

Ya the non rear wing GTS looks pretty sweet.....I saw one a couple times at Devek days in a nice light blue color....it had a custom center console too....not like mine, much larger....but I don't remember who owns it?

No rear spoiler? Keep it under 150.

Bill,
I wish I could get the chance.
I had it up to 140 without the wing and no problem.
That's about as fast as it gets when I go shopping 8>)
