Featured Ride

I like the aluminum dashboard and the paint is looking very nice and deep. Keep it up!

color is great but i am not a big fan of the shifter.

That looks incredible. *drool*

Is that a Sherwood Dash kit in brushed aluminum?

Albeit a VERY DIRTY one. Still got some work to do there.

Hmmmmm.... Think stock would look better?

I think this shifter looks great with the aluminum dash kit. Billet always looks nice. I remember the stock shifter feeling out of place in the interior of the Riv, being a little leather knob on top of a thin stick.

That looks really good. I deffinately like the color.

I think so too. It looks much better in person rather than in the picture, but I still have the stock shifter just in case. I think I'll stick with this one for the time being until I get her all cleaned up and then make a final decision. THANKS

It's just a simple off the shelf billet unit from AutoZone. My son modified it somewhat so it wouldn't rattle. Thanks for the compliment.

Nice car! The wheels make it stand out, after the paint job on it. I remember when I first saw those Lacrosse wheels and I wondered whether or not they would fit our cars, but I see they do. They also have some Lucerne CXL wheels that are a 19'' that are badass but you dont see them too often. A guy here has the pearl Riviera with those mounted on it.

Thanks Ken,

You may have read it in some of my other posts...but, as a reminder, the LaCrosse rims must be redrilled and machined to fit (on the '95 at least) unless you want to use 5x120 to 5x115 adapters.

The pics of my car do not show the new paint job. My car is still in the body shop and it will still be a few more days before I get new pics posted.

Question: I was looking at getting a set of those saqme wheels and they are listed as 5x120. Did you have any issues mounting yours or with rubbing or anything?

Did you see my previous posts ???? (two doors up or you can go to the link below)

No need to throw a tantrum, I posted it and when I came back to check it, I didnt see my previous post for some reason so I asked the question again to see if anyone would reply.

Kenneth: I apologize if I came across as an AssHole. I certainly didn't intend to that.

Oh no youre fine. I jumped to conclusions and I didnt bother to read (once again)

Okay...I finally have some pics of my Riv after the completed paint job. Thanks to Susan G. Oliver for the exterior photography work.
(I took the interior pics and one can readily see the difference...LOL)

Lots of pics guys, here goes...
