Thanks
Can't wait for a little extra cash, going to tint out the windows, and change its plate to 'RDNGHTMR' Make it fit its name

btw, linking the account to facebook when you first sign up is stupid....its why I was stuck with my name.

 

Lol nice, I'd be careful with the neutral pops though auto trans don't like that very much

 

red bowties pretty damn awesome! So whats the Grand Prix seat for?

 

The bug deflector help any with hood chips? Smoked covers I'm guessing?

 

the monte, I already have the rears, I need to mod them to make them sit lower though, they sit about 1-2" higher than the monte seats and I don't even know if they'll fit 100% yet.

 

So why the switch? For leather or you like the look better? When I owned a Grand Prix (cloth seats though) I always thought the front 2 seats were a bit thin if you look at them from the side lol

 

both lol they hug you a little better too, although they are a complete pain to find nice ones

 

I bought some stainless hardware today to put on my radiator support braces. The old ones were all rusty and crappy. I painted the braces silver again and have some shiny new hardware too Looking better under there.

 

Bluetooth speakerphone. Scosche bluetooth BT1000. I bought this a year ago on eBay for about 1/3 of the retail cost, was an open box item. That was when I was putting 900+ miles a week on the car and wanted to be able to use my blackberry phone legally without something sticking in my ear (hate those..). I began pondering where to place it's components - a speakerbox, a microphone and a button panel - without adding too much to distract one from the fine clean interior that is the 2006 Monte Carlo with it's classy saddle-shoe two color interior.

Then I was laid off. And the Blackberry was returned along with the office keys and ID badge. So the bluetooth kit was bagged up and rode in the trunk for about a year.

So now the good fortune of a daily grind has returned to my life, it has a shorter commute (just 400 miles a week) and I thought I'd get this thing wired in and working.

Speakerbox, aimed at passenger footwell. Decent sound, better than the Droid X2's speaker at highway noise level. One screw (holds it to the console. It blends in with the rest of the black plastic that makes up the dash down there


The answer/hangup, volume up/down panel. I didn't want this stuck to the console or dash and spent way too much time with it temporary mounted in different places. I settled on the blacked out portion of the upper windshield. Very easy to slip it's cable into the A-pillar molding and down to the footwell.


This is is the Droid Car Dock, another item bought off eBay. It comes with one of those butt-ugly suction cup mounts that I also hate, so I removed only the essential part and attached it to a Panavise mobile bracket.


Last one is a power switch. Device has 2 power wires, an always on and an acessory-on-when-running one. I am still unable to find an accessory wire under the dash (did get a lead to follow that I'll follow up on..) so I spliced in a tiny rocker switch to shut it off.


The mic is stuck to the upper console, next to the 3 garage door buttons that I don't use. The cable routes simply in the headliner and down the A-pillar trim with the answer-hangup button wire. For a small chunk of plastic, GM put four of those fat grippy fasteners that make this a bear to remove. Good to know that this thing will never fall off the ceiling on it's own. The fasteners are on the sides, I used a trim tool that looks like a small wide crowbar to pry it off.


Pairing worked ok. A lady's voice says "power: on" when I flip the rocker, and "phone is ready" shortly after. I've used the Siri-like Speaktoit Assistant to make calls, and now I can look like a nutcase going down the road having a conversation with myself with no tell-tale ear-piece.

Highway 101, lookout.

 

I'm guessing you're looking for 6th gen ones right? I'd imagine its hard to find around here GTPs and GTs all have 160-240k so the leathers always worn out pretty badly by then.
