This is my Official Build thread - Ive never made one so im not really sure what to do but ill just upload a shit load of pictures lol
Purchased my GS March of 2013 White diamond Tricoat paint , Sunroof , Auto, 19s and completely stock.. at first I had no intention on even buying the GS it was more of a impulse buy.. my brother wanted a new car and after me and him were talking i wanted a new car too so we bought 2 cars the same day , him a 2013 Acura AWD TL and me a Regal GS .. I was looking at 335 diesels , Kia Optima , Mustangs G37s and the ATS but IDK like many of us would agree the Buick just stood out and looks so nice and is different
within the first 48 hours of owning the car i put 15% tints on it .. no car or truck I owned drove without tints
First actual performance mod I did was Trifecta Tune .. Ive always had a consistent close relationship with Trifecta and there engineers we have done NUMEROUS retunes I think 15-20 tunes and close to 30 datalogs getting me the most powerful tune I could get out of the stock K04 OEM turbo.
I have researched the Regal GS / Insignia OPC/VXR so much that I have spoken to people around the world from Russia, Poland, Greece, Istanbul, Germany, China, UK, Albania Etc..
Since the day I owned my GS ive always wanted to convert it to a Opel Insignia and make it something no one else has done to there car and so far no one has a clone to my car
My GS and my Brothers AWD TL
on
Started rebadging the whole car from door sills to rear badges to debadging the "Regal" logo on the trunk , at the moment the trunk is bare except for the "GS" logo but I will be buying a "OPC" badge to replace the GS
wanted the Euro style Plates on the car to keep that "Opel" appearance so I found a company in Germany who makes and uses Authentic German License Plates.. after ordering them and shipping over seas I installed them on my car with the Bracket.. issue was the front parking sensors would always go off because of the width of the plate so i took the bracket off and used 3M double sided tape its now been 2 years and that original tape that has seen snow, dirt, rain, wind, multiple car washes etc has been fallen off.. I had to bend the plate to curve like the bumper to avoid the parking sensor issue
next I saw Kranz with his Cree Reverse LED lights and I wanted them.. ive had cheaper reverse lights on my old Honda Accord but nothing beats CREE LED .. BTW my old Honda Accord was fully modded .. Pulley , CAI , Exhaust , Port and Polish Manifold and Runners (first Accord in the country to have it) , J-Pipe , upgraded brakes and tires , short shifter (6MT) so much more.. I ended up crashing into a tree making a turn to fast in the reservations on a rainy day
my accord port and polish parts
reverse lights werent nearly as bright as my Buick Reverse
Probably the one thing I regret selling and that I didnt put on my GS was my H&R springs , I bought them from a Ebay Vendor in the UK or Germany I forget and I ended up selling them for a profit because I decided not to sell them
for future Refrence

are the springs for the GS .. I am not responsible for anything you do to your car if something goes wrong
Samsung LED License plate bulbs.. at first I went thru 2 pairs but they light up so nice and look better than something on a mercedes IMO
of all the things I have done to my car the one thing I am the most proud of doing myself is my color stitched seats.. took a lot of time a very steady hand and my OCD perfection to get the job done but after a few days it came out perfect and goes with my BLUE theme.. throughout the car From the OPC badge to the Blue calipers to the blue stitching of the seats I wanted everything to match inside and out
