How much does a full paint job cost?

Got a black RL with blk/red interior, but im literally dying for a chilli red pepper with blk/red interior. I still have 3.5yrs to go on my loan, and owe about 19k so buying an 08 red with blk/red interior would set me back 1.5yrs and a few thousand, so i figured it'd be cheaper to just paint mine. How much would it cost to paint my car chilli pepper red? since my car is black, does it make it more difficult? thanks

Trunk Stop Issues

Hi everyone, I bought a Midnight Blue Redline in April and I am having a reoccurring issue with the trunk. On both sides of the trunk's hood, there are two small stump-like stops with foam padding on the bottom of them. My issue is, the foam keeps breaking, leaving residue and indentations on my convertible top. Initially it was the driver's side stop, but I had that fixed at the dealership. But tonight, I realized that the passenger side stop has the broken foam and its leaving the residue again. Has anyone else had this problem? I can foresee this being and ongoing issue and I am not happy about it. I always make certain to push down the top as far as possible before cloing ther trunk. I'm in the midst of typing an e-mail to the manager of the dealership, but I wanted to know if this is a common problem before I send it. Thanks! -Alan

Gas smell!

Hello from Vegas! My girlfriend just bought a Saturn SKY and LOVES it! But the problem is there is sometimes a overwhelming smell of gas. In the garage and sometimes just in random. Can anyone offer any explinations and possible remedies please? Thank you in advance. :thumbs:

CAUTION:Thread Contains No Car Info

It mystifies me that people who complain they only want to read about their cars, are always reading the personal info threads. Just my :jm2c:

First Cruise-In

Last night I worked up the nerve to participate in my first car show of any type. I picked this show because it's local and low-key (no judges). At first I felt really out of place. I don't have any significant mods, and I'm pretty sure I was the newest car there, since the main focus is the classic cars (the special interest section consisted of about 20 cars, and 8 of those were Corvettes), but after a while I overcame that and there wer… Continue

Ordered my Opel GT Antenna

OK, I'm finally doing something about the 'bumper car' stock antenna. After doing some research on SkyRoadster forum I decided that the Opel GT antenna (GM part 25805645) was the choice for me, and needed to find a source. It is available on-line, but they don't take Canadian credit cards or ship to Canadian addresses. After going through my local dealer, GM Canada head office… Continue

Mecca II was a Hit!

Just got back home late Sunday (as some may know, we had a detour via OBX for a week after the event). We're unpacked, but haven't had time to wash the car or other important stuff yet. I have to say that the event was a big success in my opinion. The plant personnel put on a great event. The "loot bags" were really above-and-beyond my expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised by the team in the TLC tent, despite the bad weather. What I wanna know if the Sky die-cast being the correct colour… Continue

Wilmington or Bust!

Woo Hoo! The day has finally come when we hit the road for Wilmington for the Mecca II factory tour. The weather is getting me down a bit (probably not much top-down driving), but I'm really pumped about meeting the other folks from the Sky Roadsters and Pontiac Solstice forums. And the tour of the factory is going to be awesome! I'll post a review and hopefully I'll remember to take some pics (usually I forget all about the camera when I'm enjoying myself).

I customized my Splash Guards

I've been meaning to post this somewhere for a while (I installed these before last fall). I found that the GM splash guards (ordered through the Saturn dealer) look nice but aren't very effective, so I decided to try a simple modification to use them as the backers for some more traditional mud flaps. I bought the mud flaps at the local Canadian Tire, knowing they were far too large, but very plain (and relatively cheap, around $25 for the set of four). First, here are the original splash gu… Continue

Glad to have the summer tires back on. The car has a different personality with the summer sneakers!
