Finally fixed/painted 1 year 6 months later - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Back in February 2007 I hit a deer which damaged my passenger fender, head light, door, hood, and bumper cover. Well finally yesterday August 2008 1 year and 6 months later I got my car back from the body shop. The reason it took so long was I wanted to take care of working on all the mechanical stuff before taking care of the body work. If you like to see the before pictures check then out below:

While the car was in the body shop other things were taken care of:

1.) De-chromed and tinted front head lights
2.) Installed new tinted fog lights
3.) Tail lights were slightly darkened.
4.) Installed much larger Frozen Boost Front Mount heat Exchanger.
5.) Installed SLP Buick Regal GSX Dual Exhaust Templates.
6.) Finishing up work on SLP Buick Regal GSX Spoiler to be installed at later date.
7.) Painted C5 Corvette Brake Calipers Black/Gray like body of car with red raised "Corvette" letters.

I love the headlights. That is a super clean Regal. I love those cars. They are pretty quick for being a luxo car.

Yeah thanks I love the head lights also. I was being so lazy about doing them however while the regal was in the body shop I thought it was a great time to do it. I just hope it stays clean because black is so annoying to keep clean and as well this is my DD beside me having my super beater.. but it sure gets hard to drive that these days being how nice it is.

Awesome car man. super sleeper ftw!

that thing is sweet. you should've went a bit more subtle on the exhaust tips, but it proves the point it can move. 13 flat in a boat like that is impressive

damn now that would be the ultimate daily driver/sleeper. My friend used to have a regal and those things are comfortable!

I have always liked the dual exhaust look on really any car. If it wasn't for SLP and there dual exhaust setups I most likely would I just kept it single like stock. The other reason I went this exhaust kit is its pretty much 3" all the way back and completely 304 stainless so I won't really have to worry about it rusting down the road.
