Thanks Leo, I am SO Happy, especially with the way the headers sound. Haven't sold the Vic yet, but a guy looked at her yesterday and on Tuesday he's going to see see if he can get approved for a loan. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. I think before I sell it though, I'm gonna line up all three for a photo

Marauder type R? :lol:

Not too sure what the "R" is. I think because Dennis Reinhart did the custom work, maybe that's what it is. Really not too sure

Yep.

Looks good! A little too much business going on for me on the trunk panel, tho. I'd have removed all that the first day. I don't know why, but stuff like that is etched in my mind as only being tolerated on the back of a station wagon. Let's see some engine shots.

Great car!!! Wrong color!!! (DTR is the bomb!!) And too much yucky stuff on the trunk lid. Removing that stuff would be my first mod too. Too bad you didnt have while living here. Im happy for you Brad.:beer:

[TAKEDOWN]

Lookin g00d Brad!

[LANDY]

looks good, and clean.
BTW the R has to go.
enjoy.

[DOOM]

:congrats: big dog!

Glad to see you got one!

What mods does it have?

:banana2: :banana2:

[jflave]

:banana2: :banana2:

Won't be able to make MV8, but I will defintiely bring her to Louisville next time.
She has 4.10 Gears, Kooks Headers, CAI, and Custom tune.

+1 on the Trunk stuff, just haven't had a chance to do it cause I ahd to have Cat's installed to pass emissions, but I am not a stickers fan, so they gots to go. Car also needs to be repainted, what I thought were bird droppings on the hood and runk actually seem to be paint, ans there is a decent size scratch on the hood. But all in all it was too great a price to pass up and the interior is in great condition, including Marauder Floormats FTW :banana2:

In case you missed it in the other thread, this is my response about your mighty :lol: DTR (To the tune of Every Rose has it's thorn)

I lay completely still
In the dead of the night
Although I really want a black
I guess the red will be alright

Was it something I said
Or all that I did
did my tune not come out right

Though I tried still to drive you
though I tried

I guess that's why they say

Every red has a horn
Just like every black that was born
Just like I'm into every cowboy porn
Every red has a horn
Yeah it does

I can't listen to any song on the radio
My AC's out, lights a flicker, I ain't got no show
But I wonder, does Bob know
I really want his ride
I know that he'd make the switch some how
with my car and just about 100 thou

Every Red has a horn
I could say that mine was Blue when she was born
or maybe a silver birch, aww *****, I am torn
Because Every Red has a Horn

I know I coulda bought a black
If I'd dropped to my knees
Instead I got a red, like a gun to my head
Gimme a black please oh please

And now I, hear you had a red that really blew
and that it rolled 15 secs in the 1/4 for you
Well to hear that make me laugh inside
Bob's got an escort thats a faster ride

Every Red has a Horn
Just like every pair of jeans gets worn
Red fades in the taillight, just like the band Korn
Every Red Has a Horn

[1 Bad Merc]

Congrats on the new ride! You finally pony'ed up and bought one. Figured you would appreciate that:)

[Motorhead350]

Enjoy Brad. Looks great!

[Bluerauder]

Do you have two cracked teeth/bars on your grill or is that the remainder of some large bugs?

Just some left over crud, she does need a paint job (no Joe, I'm not painting it DTR, fail) Once I am able to sell my Vic, I'll get it painted and then I'll be all smiles ear to ear

[dohc324ci]

Congrats!!

[justbob]

Lookin great Brad! Can't wait to see it in Sept. Lose the stickers.......

[LOWBUCKMM]

look great brad. congrats on getting one. ill be in Atlanta at the end of july we should meet up for a bit and hang out.

[a_d_a_m]

+1 on the Trunk stuff........I am not a stickers fan, so they gots to go. Good to hear. That "R" and the rest of the business is just too much! Of course, I've got a sticker on my rear fascia...so maybe I'm a hypocrite.

Either way, congrats.

[justbob]

You should install a J in honor of me for future mods.......:)

[ImpalaSlayer]

Not too sure what the "R" is. I think because Dennis Reinhart did the custom work, maybe that's what it is. Really not too sure

in that case remove it


looks good, any chance of that scuff coming out on the front?

[PonyUP]

Absolutely Man, PM me the dates, I'll hook you up with my cell

[PonyUP]

Definitely, I'm not a big fan of "K-Mart" Bling like stick ons, all that crap will be removed, just plan on keeping the silver Marauder lining

Paint has quite a few scuffs that won't come out. As soon as I seel my Vic, I'm going to get ehr painted then it will be exactly the way I want it, at least for now

Q: What causes window tinting to bubble?

A: UV rays from the sun that are responsible for damaging your cars interior and excessive heat build-up are usually the cause of bubbles forming in the window tint. The bubbles are a result of a failure in the adhesive system. Protect yourself from this potential problem by purchasing a major brand name window tint material. The major window tint manufacturers, in their high performance and metal window tints, have a high temperature adhesive system and 99% of UV protection capabilities, which along with the metalizing technology, allows them to give a manufacture backed guarantee against bubbling of window tinting. These films are available from most reputable dealers.

[Big Black Beast]

Nice. If the paint isn't that bad, you might just consider having the bumper re-painted. And what is that?! A fire department sticker? Lose that or people will think it's a Fire Dept. car between that and all the "firemen" everywhere. Apparently you got the ultra-rare Marauder "Type R" model too. Yeah, stickers suck. Make them go away.

[tallpaul]

I know what you mean about the paint. My hood and trunk lid on my black 03 look like a flock of birds flew over it and locked in on my car. It is the clear coat coming off, and when you wax it it really gets me mad to look at it.

[PonyUP]

It's really not bad. Front bumper has a scuff, as does the rear, trunk lid and hood have some clear coat coming off, and the roof has some scratches, but it's fairly normal wear and tear. I have ahd the car for 5 days and it has been wonderful, and it was a truly great price. So I am very happy, just need to make time for sticker removal. Oh and I need ot buy a hairdryer

[justbob]

There must be paint shops ALL over Atlanta with all the "customs" as some nicer peoples would say. I would say hoopties, but thats just me... Reguardless of what they look like or say (candy bar cars=FAIL) the images look to be quality work. Or bring her to me in Sept and see what magic I can work. :)

Oh don't worry Bubba, I'm gonna need some of your magic one way or the other I'm sure. The R is a badge, so I'm not too sure how to remove that. It doesn't look like it was drilled in, so I'm think I might be ablt to remeove like any other sticker? Thoughts?

Heat gun. 30 secs and gone. No biggie at all. I bought a cheap heat gun for $20, works AWESOME. Just watch it though, it gets REALLY hot.

[PonyUP]

That's what I figured. Can't wait for you to drive when I come up to get your thoughts, you will definitely love the sound of the headers man, they're badd Azz

[justbob]

Can't wait either! We'll get to work on the black biotch.

[PonyUP]

Awesome, Happy 4th brother, I'm gonna hit the sack, night

[PonyUP]

Stickers have been removed. The "R" wasn't as cooperative. I think it may have been put on with 3M body tape. Bob, might need your help in September

[justbob]

I'm here! YOUR the one that left! :)

[PonyUP]

Yup, it took me 6 weeks and 700 miles to get a Marauder, if I would ahve got off my duff 3 years ago, we could have enjoyed them together :beer:
