GFX color questions...



I kinda like the silver GFX on the dark blue cars, and I am trying to decide how it would look on mine. I plan on removing the RS emblems, how do you guys think it would look, that color with silver, or black, GFX?

oh ya, and on a side note, Im getting the car re-sprayed (same color) and I want to remove the lame door bumper things before hand so I can bondo over the holes and get a more sleek, less stock look.

The door rubber strips are stick ons, no holes. Get a good heat gun, a eraser wheel, and you can pull them right of, clean it up, and if your paint is good (not one of the bad GM paint jobs), it'll clean right up, wax/polish out, and look like the rubber strips were never there.

Did that to my black 97 Tahoe, and it was like the strips were never there, with no repainting needed.

I'd say stick with the same color ground effects or go for something more custom than just painting only them a different color.

Stephen is correct, no holes when you remove the door bumpers. I perfer our cars without them as well but just be aware that the doors ding easily at that crease. If you frequently park it in an area that has lots of other cars I'd say stick with the bumpers.

I always removed them before, but I'm leaving them on my white GTA. I Photoshopped it without them, and in white, that was too much blank area. If it was a different color, I'd ditch them too.
