I feel like I`ve really learned a lot here, so I figured I`d "show off" the results. This car has (so far) been touched by Meguiars only... I`m happy with my latest combo of products, so I think I`ll stick with them for now.



The car got the works last week, and this is the first wash after.

Hey RegalGS, is that Buick the Supercharged version? I have the turbocharged version from the 80`s

Blackmirror...



It is. I`d love to work on the performance a bit, such as aftermarket exhaust, cold air induction, etc. But, I promised my hubby I`d save the performance mods for the Impala SS due out next summer. I love the 3.8 S/C engine... and being a Buick, I just have to laugh at the local ricers. This is definately not your grandfather`s Buick. ;)



Now a Grand National... THAT would be a fun car to drive. :)

I see a lot of those supercharged GS`s in performance magazines. they run them at the track too and they run low 13`s which is good for a car like that.

I`m not really a gearhead, but from what I understand, since these cars are essentially the same as the Grand Prix GTP, most mods for the GTP will also work for the GS. About the only mod I`ve done (heh) is swap out the stock air filter for a K&N, and it made a noticeable difference. It`s a cheap, easy mod that I can recommend to anybody! I`ll be saving my mod-money for the Impala SS, due out as an `04 model. (Had an `00 Impala 3.8L N/A, rolled it, walked away. Husband and I both like the size and "feel" of the new Impala, but the performance of the GS... ) I`ll also be saving up for higher end detailing supplies for that baby, too. I`m too into Meguiars with this one. Need to use up what I have! ;)



Oh, and thanks BlackRegal.. after seeing the pictures of your Regal, I felt almost embarrassed to put mine up here. The car still isn`t perfect, and I can see the blemishes in the finish. :) Although, had a compliment the other day! Saw the sales person that sold us the Buick, and he said that mine looks better than the cars they have in the lot, and they`re a Benz dealership, too! Talk about an ego boost! :D
