the 2014 pontiac parisienne thread

here it is installed

I LOVE it!    Just my usual ideas, put a Pontiac letter emblem in the left grill opening...
 

 

 

 
Think '78 Trans Am, '80's Bonnevilles, 6000's... Grand Ams.., and so on.   For years most Pontiacs had a script emblem in the driver's side grill opening....I'm sure you could find a small modern-looking one at the salvage yards..

Looks good, Maestro! (Should help the AC efficiency too   )

it's in the plans Mike, but remeber what our junk yards look like up here.........bring tool box, shovel and snow shoes

some ideas..........








the hood ornament may have to go  

Looks damn good Pat,you have the gift!Ever thought about those twin outlet exhaust tailpipes that cam on the mid 70s TAs?

The SSE Bonne fog lights would look nice with that front end.

? what do they look like?

See Sean Usoff's wagon.

I agree, arrowhead and script. No hood ornament.

And hood tach.

Gret work Pat,I always admire your skill.

 I have to say I can't see any Parisienne resemblance with that or actually the old grill either.

 I see Grand Am or Prix,and to me you now need ram air scoops to blend it all together.

Lorne I'm thinking more of grafting in the ram air scoops from a 71-72 gto, but try to find one to cut up!

Looks good Pat! Pontiac triangle with no gun site and a hood tach!!

Ditto on the Pontiac triangle...

You need a smaller Pontiac script emblem for the grill. The arrowhead looks ok, but I like the hood ornament...

I think the grill mounted arrowhead would perfectly complete the 90's Pontiac look.

How about a real Pontiac throwback. Slap a pair of aluminum trim straps on the hood.

Pat,think I saw some reproduction scoops in that Pontiac enthusiast magazine!

Phantoms got the right idea...

pat i love your work, your wagon looks awesome and ive always loved the look of pontiacs. gotta say maybe the arrow on the grill and shave the hood ornament, but then again the hood ornament looks cool, i guess do one or the other. but great work. looks like a factory gm

Whoa did you go with led's to get the color change? That looks nice.

Would you be able to cut up and graft something like this?

yes some t10 green LED's direct replacements for those bulbs, will do the dash and instrument cluster with some green t5's when they arrive.

of course I could. If I liked em that is, I'm more of a fan of these scoops

and those on the G8 are functional

Green?

Wouldn't red be more appropriate for a 90's Pontiac? Top it off with a red display Pontiac CD player.

I second this opinion.

That that my opinion means squat..lol

Why Green, simply cause I like green.

The wagon is DGGM, the Green glow reflecting off of the grey interior enhances the DGGM exterior.

My windows are tinted coke bottle Green, and the Green glow enhances that.

I'm of Irish decent, so the Green glow enhances my ethic roots

Green is also the colour of prosperity....

Red is the colour of stop lights and stop signs....

The factory Pontiac cd player that I'm rebuilding right now will also have a green display when I'm done with it.

However I'm quite happy with the Sony head unit in my dash currently since it was in the dash of my white 91 RMW, it's kind of a momento/tribute to the old 91 that saved my life.

in the 91


now in the 95

No harm intended... Your talent is inspiring,whatever you touch seems to turn to gold...ummm green. Keep up the good,great work.

boogers are green,..

on a side note, WTH is the remote for? I can reach the radio controls just fine with my arms so I just tossed the little remote in the glove box and left it there, then retrieved it from the wreck, and now it sits in my kitchen's junk drawer.

To assist back seat drivers.  

Green is the most common car color for a Genius...

New grille looks better, I agree, lose the hood ornament and put an arrow in the grille and Pontiac script.   Hood tach, YES! Trans Am exhaust tips, YES!  No shaker hood scoop until you get a Pontiac 455 and swap it to a manual transmission.

more green

grill work

It'll be interesting to see how it works in traffic on a 37c day with a/c on,..

Turned out damn nice Pat,as long as your lower 3 spoilers are in place AC should be fine.With the
weather we have had you may not even need AC this summer.

Looks great!!!

Almost as nice as this grill...

Ooooo I like that grill already, Pat!

Ok now I'm going to say Nice grille. Love It!

those inserts are now powder coated black

had some fun with a 3D printer

nice

I wonder how long it will be before the 3D printers can make 3D printers....
