What do you think?
Wednesday, March 28, 2007 6:23 AM
I'm thinking about getting my stock seats recovered in leather and then having the GXP emblem stiched into the headrest. I was going to buy tenzo seats but I want a stock look...Any other ideas, I really want to do GXP in the headrest of any seat. Shoot me some ideas, thanks

Why put the GXP emblem when the car isn't a GXP?

^ he's making a "Sunfire GXP".

i'd look into getting some stock seats out of another car (like an srt-4) that has comfy seats and then getting the gxp stitched to those headrests.

Yea the car is turning out to be my interpretation of the GXP that was never made, I starting will the styling beacause my car looked horrible but the performance side of it will be done soon. Still wanting to do a Tib wing on the rear to help bring the GXP thing together

I've got the stock seats reupholstered in leather and they don't get hot.

As for the GXP.... GM DID make a GXP version as a concept. Hell, you can even drive it in GT4. It's a shame they never produced it for sale, but that's pretty typical of anything cool GM ever did with a j-body.

Regardless though, I agree with StrippedCav98. Do whatever you want with the car, but I wouldn't make up new badging for it.

People will just be confused until they realize that it's completely meaningless and just something you decided to call it out of the blue.

people rebadge custom vehicles all the time, they get custom made badges for what ever they call the vehicle, this is no different.

Badges are the devil. Just my opinion.

I don't think it is bad as long as it is something that was never produced. Type R was produced and so I see it as mockery, but if it was only a concept I don't think it's a big deal, just making a concept of your own.
