Thanks a bunch my fellow Mike :ok:

The idea for the banner came from a fellow friend in the LEO field, who has an insane '06 (orange) GTO that him and I participate in shows together.

I then ran my banner idea past my friend Jeff (owner of HKMediaChicago) and inquired if incorporating his photos into a layout similar to what's found on Jeff's site, would be acceptable.


He thought it was a great idea, & wallah! There 'ya gave it!

From idea, to concept, to actuality!

used 3M gloss black vinyl to mask my chrome door handles on the XSport...only problem was when I was putting the pass. rear back on, I bumped the latch spring assembly and knocked it out of its track...F&%$...

Still trying to figure out how to fix this one...
Thoughts???

(I'll get pics up once it's done of course ;) )

Looks really good.  I especially love the work on the spear and the base of the blue oval surround!  Good job!   :thumb:

Looks damn good... esp on that silver.
The rear looks awesome, but I still prefer the chrome grill surround up front.

Thanks guys. I think it turned out pretty good. I might peel off the rear strip and redo it. Up close you can see near the right tail light where I messed up a tiny bit. From a foot away you can't tell tho

I like it all to kinda have the same theme. The tail lights were peeling so I had to do something. I like the grille but I like others I have seen better so this may not be final.

...continued from Post #1319

Got my door all sorted out. When removing the door handles the internal latch assembly had come out of its 'home', and it wasn't something I could get back seated through the 1"sq. hole I had from the outside. Went to visit some friends at the dealership today and figured out other than the two screws at the bottom of the panel, theres a 10mm bolt behind a little access door behind the door grab handle, and another hidden behind a sneaky little plate inside of the latch. With all 4 screws/bolts removed, the door pulls straight out and off via little metal V-tabs. From there I could unbolt the latch assembly through the little window and drop it down to where I could get hands on it to put it back together.

Spent way more time on it than I wanted, but I'm pretty happy with the finished product. The guys at the dealership thought they were painted, so I guess I got rid of the creases. lol
No more chrome door handles!
