Just bought an '06 Vista GT convert

GT convert, 5 speed manual, Vista Blue/black. Shaker 500 sound system, 45k miles. Painfully stock right now, and minor mods are in its future (wheels, tires, springs, chip, exhaust, and apperarance mods like black BOSS 302 striping and a shaker hood). Pardon the crappy Droid X pics for now. I'll post better ones later.






And a quick photoshop of how I want it to look:

THanks! Only thing I'm actually upset about it is that the Aux button on the Shaker 500 doesn't actually DO anything without buying an adapter. Other than that, I'm loving it!

Well, the nice thing about buying a totally stock car is you can personalize it and not need t olive with the last owners mods/decisions. Nice plans thus far... I would also add a CDC styling bar.

Now compare the photoshop with the continuing results. Added the shaker scoop:



I don't want the fake roll bar, however. Don't know why a fake scoop is fine, but a fake roll bar bugs me. Lol!

It's not a roll bar, it's a styling bar!

Well, that's kind of the point, it's styled to look like a roll bar. And to me it also kind of looks like a VW cabriolet or PT Cruiser convert with one. Sorry.
