Sidewinder's 2010 Pontiac G3

[Sidewinder]

I usually keep track of mods I do to my car in a single thread, so I decided to create one for the changes I make to the G3.

I decided to start off with a photo shoot of both my cars together:













I also took some shots of the interior as well:





...and for later reference, the engine bay:

Well today isn't exactly the ideal day to be taking pictures, but I wanted to get some pictures of the car today before it starts getting dirty again. Just got it tinted and it definitely looks sharp with this color:







Now I just need to get the subs installed.

PS. Updated my garage while I was at it.

What color does the clock light up?

Well, I just washed the car (well actually the dealership did) and I added the finishing touches. Its been awhile since I have posted pictures and I have added a couple little items. I figured I should post up some more pictures of the car.













Hopefully much more coming now that I am working a decent job!

Been awhile since I have been on here, been extremely busy. I've changed and added a couple items to the car over the summer. I have pictures I plan to go through, though they are not the greatest (took with my phone). Unfortunately my camera died over the summer, haven't had the money to get a new one yet.

Anyway I will get started with aftermarket power locks:



I don't have pictures of the install as I would have liked. Unfortunately I did not have the tools that I needed to do this install and had to get it done by a buddy of mine. The kit used was a four door control kit that has the master control motor that locks all doors when the driver door is locked. However, I had a motor added to the rear hatch as well, so all of the doors including the hatch are now powered.

I decided to paint a few of the interior pieces and the cap on the engine as well. Painting actually turned out better than I hoped and it isn't too 'loud' of an accent to the car and kinda looks like it could have been factory. I wanted to keep it subtle so, I only painted a few bits.











Lastly, I wanted to have a go at vinyls for this car. Given I worked at a dealership this summer made this a bit easier. I spent a good while playing around with the design and trying to decide what I wanted to do, and in keeping with my subtle approach I decided to use black.



If you cant see it, there are three stripes on the bottom side with text. It turned out much better than I though it would frankly. Like the blue in the paint looking black in some light; in certain light you can see the striping, in some light you cant. It also looks normal from further away. The picture below for example, the car does have the stripe.



So the stripes are on both sides, and turned out almost perfectly to what I wanted.

Thanks for looking!

I didn't realize the last gen was still being sold, that's actually pretty neat. I know a few threads on the forum have asked about swapping the front end of a HB with the sedan, thats a good example of what it would look like.

nice car man

Thanks, still got more stuff I want to accomplish.

That's part of the reason I chose the G3 over the Aveo. Not a fan of the Chevy green clusters, that and I liked the front end better, and I suppose most importantly it was cheaper at the time. I believe someone has done the cluster swap but I could be wrong.

Thanks guys.
