No. Its a sedan. Its pretty neat, I have polar opposite cars. One is a black/black 5MT coupe OBD2, the other is a AW/tan auto sedan OBD1. M52 and M50. One has bald tires, the other has new ones (you can guess this one ). I think I'm gonna keep it. I just need to get more money for registration and stuff. I have two cars to register and get plates for now. Like 200 bucks worth of registration. LOL

Anyone have a spare door trim clip (the part that goes into the hole in the door)? One of mine is broken and the trim has started to pull away from the door. I just want to do a cheapo fix for now until I get nicer side moldings in the spring.

Kinda hard to tell what I need by looking at Real OEM. Whatever plugs into the hole in the door has cracked in half, so it doesn't fit tightly in the hole and can pop out really easily.

Hey Karl, is this what you need?. If so I have a couple dozen of them that I bought when I was planning on doing some body work, that probably won't be happening for awhile so if you want I'll send you one for what I paid plus shipping.

That top thing is for the inside trim that covers the bottom of the door gasket and goes down over the carpet, the second picture looks like a ****ty version of what I posted.

Chad... That thing will be a fixer-upper for sure. You said it was kinda clean


I would use it for parts. But that's because I hate body work. As you can see with that black car I got.

I resent (or is it resemble) that remark. Some of us we around before video games (although we're too old to remember much)

I hear you. People are always asking why my hands are so dirty. Then I have to explain that my hands are clean, it's just that there is oil buried in my skin.


And I want to see a video of said Buick.
