Looks like mine! I'm glad there's hope for this rosewood color, I believe that's the name at least. Car looks excellent man you've given me hope to restore mine now to its full potential!!

 

[Undercover87T]

Thanks . The color isn't rosewood, GM called it dark garnet red metallic. Looks like you have a nice one as well. I plan to spray a set of gn bumpers body color like your car over the winter.

Went to the local Cars & Coffee meet yesterday. It was a Toys for Tots event. 200+ cars, Mclaren's, Ferarri's, Porsche's, BMW's, little bit of everything. Went with two other Buick owners and even among the exotics the Buicks still got a lot of looks. Today I went out for a drive and got a few fall shots at the local park also. I have a couple more changs planned to keep me busy over the winter as well.

Looks great....is the XFI dash worth it?

I can't give an honest answer yet since I just got the car back Friday and haven't really played with it yet. 3 main "dashes" and 1 master screen with 20-30 values displayed. I wish there were more adjustments that could be made with it and activating the internal logger. XFI scanmaster would probably give you the same basic readouts but for the price difference of $50 I figured why not.

Stunning car, something to be proud of.

I don't know what it is about the maroon paint but it just works...nice T Type.
