Nevermind this post.... I had bought Draglites but decided against them and sold 'em.

You thinking about painting the car in the future? I think the rally's look great on the car as is. The drag lites I think would maybe look better with a different paint job? IDK If your just gonna use at the track, I'd save the money to use on something else. Unless appearance means alot to you. If you can get two real cheap, then I'd go for it. Recommend street tires up front though. The front runners can get expensive and don't last very long. Just my input.

Paul, I know that the draglites are quite common. That's probably why some people aren't big fans of them... I'd love something more unique really but that comes with a pretty good price tag too! Who knows? Maybe I'll flip these and just save for something else...
Pete, I doubt that the car will be painted very soon. It might stay white too if I did. Perhaps I'll just use the money for some better tires for the track instead of buying matching fronts. I wouldn't buy anything other than a 15x6 or 15x7 for the front just because of how much I want to drive the car. I had the front skinnies on the Camaro and wasn't very fond of the way it drove like that. Fine for a drag car but not mine.

I actually like the Draglights on there, I guess I just like them alltogether but they are put on about everything nowadays! Nice build Rerod......keep up the good work! I'm doing the same thing constantly to my car but just don't have the time nor patience for the documenting and picture taking?!?!Traver2001 Trans Am All Motor 9.75 @139mph

Well, the Draglites are gone and I ordered up some interior pieces this morning. The B-pillar pieces were a necessity since the stock ones have the typical "rot" on them (as seen below)
The door panels I wanted to get so that I wouldn't have to cut into the factory lower door panels in order to install speakers. I could have had some kick panels made I suppose but this should be a pretty straight-forward, clean install.
I ordered the tan ones and I have interior paint that will make them match up color-wise if need be

man i dont want to even count up my receipts, and im not even done buying parts..
I truly wonder how different the Monte Carlo and the Cutlass lower door panels might be. These are supposed to work for Montes, Malibus, and El Caminos. I can take any pictures and/or measurements you'd need to know once they get here so that you can see if they'll work for you as well.
Here are some listed under Oldsmobile... same picture used: http://www.gbodyparts.com/product_in...d6137347585731
