Exterior Pics of my Black/Burgandy 95 Rivi

[img]

nice 95. what do you mean by black/burgundy? are those wheels off a older buick? I haven't seen those on a riv before.

black exterior and burgundy leather interior.....the wheels came with it i think those wheels were for the base models I could be wrong because my car is not supercharged.

nice lookin car with such high mileage.


ur correct in those are the wheels that came on the 95 Riv only to distinguish non s/c. im pretty sure all 96+ were supercharged.

96 and 97 S/C was still optional. It was standard in 98 and 99.

I believe that s/c was still an option in 96 & 97. I actually saw a 96 former lease riv with non-s/c, a bench seat, and auto trans selector on the tree for sale at South Shore Buick (Quincy, MA) back in 1998. It was sitting next to the 96 s/c that I ended up buying (also a former lease). S/C became standard in 98.

Looks like it's in real good condition to be 14 years old.
Clean too!

I plan on posting pics of the interior later on

Its in real good condition but work needs to be done under the hood

Stock head unit want to replace with a double din I dont think it would fit


Old driver side door speakers really need to be replaced look at the old dust


Passenger door speakers


Steering wheel faded in some areas


Here is the carpet I think there is supposed to be a cup holder here


Backseat leather is still clean tell me what you think?


front seat leather is clean but armrest is a little damaged


Trunk is clean with a lot of space... those are leaves in the trunk if you were wondering.


Rear left speaker


Rear right speaker don't know what that black box is if anyone knows please tell me


Here are the covers for the speakers I want to paint them black any tips on how I should do this????

Here is a pic of the drivers side lights notice how clear my corners are lol I cleaned them today since I got bored took only a minute.

ur like one of two who have a steering column shift. awesome lol and ur head unit is super old looking. u mustve had one of the first 95's off the line. my 95 is much different looking

I know I would prefer the shift on the floor myself but for 1000 bucks cant complain lol.....What does your interior look like and what kind of head unit do you have currently?

1) Check inside the armrest lid and box for flip-out cupholders.

2) think about a single-din head unit with retracting screen.

3) I would not boher painting the speaker grilles. Really.

4) you can vacuum the dust off the speaker grilles. If you are replacing the speakers think about getting the 2-ways with "aimable" tweeters. Treble is really directional, you'll be shocked at the difference this makes. You can leave the rest of the speakers alone for now. If you replace the rear speakers and not the fronts (assuming the rears are still stock) you will have problems getting the fader to balance right front/back.

5) the black box by the speaker is the MALL (body computer) - it has a radio receiver for the remote locks and stuff.

How much would you spend on the 2-ways with the tweeters dont want to over spend when it comes time to buy them. How do you install the aftermarket head unit in the rivi?
