Not sure if I posted photos of my Buick after I acquired it? Bought from family friend who was the original owner for next to nothing. 123K on the clock and in need of paint and upholstery. Well it now sports a new paint job, upholstery, vacuum conversion, Razor's alky kit, wheels and tires. Let me know what you think?
Update on my 87 T

have fun with itlol...good catch there. Forgot to mention I also upgraded the fuel system with the Racetronix setup. I need to tidy it up a little better so I avoid catching it on something.
The car originally had chrome bumpers with the blackout trim option. I liked the looks of others with the black bumpers so I had the chrome ones blasted and powdercoated to match the trim.

Hmmmm, so that's what my car would look like with Draglites....lol. I have a Gray 87 T with WO2 trim package as well....165K miles and was a one owner car up until about a year ago. Got the basics done....340, hotwired, 009's, JC chip, Accufab regulator, rail mount fp gauge, SM2. Ordered the Hooker catback last night from Summit and already have a 3" replacement downpipe (left over from my 1st turbo Buick). I'll also have a T'netics Stg3 Cheetah for it shortly, so not staying stock for long. I was thinking of going with Telstars instead of the Draglites....don't see them around here very often.

Nice car man, looks just like my 87 grey car.
I just might have ad the black bumpers to mine too, do you have any more pics of the car?
Mine is a 87 greyish blue hardtop with grey split bench column shift GNX style dash cluster and draglites....

Looks good. I have a question and comment;
- Is it me or is the 3.8 SFI TURBO emblem on the hood BLACK??
- Looks like your "T" emblem on the fender is too high.....eh, maybe not.

Yes the hood emblem as well as the rear emblem are black. After I had the bumpers powdercoated I decided to black out the emblems also. Makes it appear slightly more sinister to me. As far as the T emblems go...I used a surplus passenger front fender with the emblem still attached for the measurements.
Same here on the options list being rather short. It does have power windows/locks, power antenna but that's about it. Full manual seats, no power trunk release, and it does have aluminum bumper supports. I was unsure about the bumper supports, so went and looked. Guess I need to find some scales and weigh the car to see how much lighter it is compared to what my 87 GN was.
I did get lucky and get the original window sticker, bill of sale, and a few other documents/books with the car. I'll have to go back and see how many options it really had. It's interesting because I was wondering how many gray 87 turbo T's were out there.
I thought it looked like the hood emblems were blacked out......Nice subtle touch...
