Nothing too major so far, the interior panels came out pretty good, the first time they were a bit off, bumps and deformities everywhere. And I still need to redo the engine cover, the paint makes it look really scratched. Just as soon as i buy some more paint. And ill have some install pics from my new head unit this week!

Love your Abyss. I'm going with the same "painted red accents on Abyss" theme. I just put on genvibe.com decals, I have my engine cover and other engine bay accents painted, as well as calipers. I tried white on everything, but going back to the Pontiac red was a good move for me, and for you too obviously!I'm trying to decide if I want to do the interior dash panels like you did. I don't mind the silver, but what a difference the red makes on the inside!
Steelies to the rescue.

Yeah! after a recent "touch up" i feel even better about these panels. I tried to match as close as possible to the pontiac red so that i could keep the steering wheel emblem and everything the same. I wound up with Krylon's "Red Pepper" and it looks excellent in person, the pictures dont quite do it justice. If i had to do it again, i would definitely paint them.

Ive got some dirty in-progress pics for this month! If you can ignore the temporary off-color paint and the bare patches of body filler, i just installed a set of Tein High Tech lowering springs with the stock struts. It was a considerable drop, i have the stock alloys and there is a 2 finger gap in the front and a 3 finger gap in the rear. I also cleaned up the wires in my engine bay after the underglow installation (night pics soon) with some red wire tubing and i bought a brand new engine cover, overall it looks nice and clean, but its still missing a red cosmo intake Black/Red Engine Full body pic of the drop Side view of the drop, and an LED tube peeking out Removed the front pontiac arrow In the middle of filling the rear pontiac logo Hopefully ill find some time to get it cleaned up and order more of our oh-so-rare black pearl metallic paint to get these patch jobs blended a little better until i can afford to repaint the entire car. future plans: Graphite roof caps Cosmo Racing Cold Air Intake Spectre Performance Cone filter Magnaflow Catback Exhaust Floors and doors dynamat installation New MTX stereo overhaul (Thunder 7500s and speakers) red engine lighting & interior EL wire in doors Black headliner and interior panels
