My '95 Aurora - Then and Now

This is a video that sort of chronologically goes through my first year and a half of owning my car. The video shows the car right after I bought it, with the chrome door protectors that have completely faded. And the pin-striping, which I can't stand. Removing those two things really made the car look different! It no longer looks like a Le-Sabre.

Then it goes to about the mid-point of ownership before I got my tints and my exhaust done. Then forwards to when I had the Caddy Emblems on the car. A little after that I took out some of the interior to do a clean sweep and fix some wires. And then of course it goes to the car I have now. The last pictures were taken just a few days ago. I got some wood put inside and did some chrome accents. The video doesn't do them justice, I added just enough without it being too much, it really brightens up my dark black interior.

To some who make think the wood and chrome are too much, I don't want to hear it. I have shown my car to a lot of people and they all agree that it looks great! I'm not the only one who got the wood inserts for my car either, about twenty other members over at "ACNA" have them too. They really do make the interior look more upscale.

RATE IT EVEN IF YOU HATE IT, BUT DON"T FLAME IT!!!!

I'M ALL FOR CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, but just outright FLAMING me is wrong!

I have posted several videos of my Aurora before and all but one seem to garner some really negative views. The only one that had any good attention was the Slideshow of my car.

All the rest seem to bash me because of my Cadillac Emblems (which was an experiment, btw). Others seemed to hate my exhaust set up, which I agree, is a bit too loud. I want to tone it down just a little bit, but I still like a low grumble.

Others hated the fact that I had a Subwoofer in the trunk. I don't understand this, it's not the most powerful sub, but I don't get how something like that ruins a car, this isn't my Grandma's car!

A lot of people hated my rims. I understand this because I don't really like them either. The tires are too small for my car and the rims do look cheap. They are chrome rims and no, I didn't not put them on. They had the "A" on them when I got them, I have no idea what kind of rims they are.

And the other thing people hated was my tints. While I do agree they are too dark, I don't mind. The tint makes this car look so much better. I don't like stock "see through" windows. I don't want my car to look like the rest of the Auroras out there. While stock is nice, I like to stand out, and those don't like it, can stick it!

this is beautiful. how did u do the wood on the dashboard like that? I really like it

@drums4lifee There is a company on eBay that sells wood trim kits for various cars. You can choose the color of the wood, I wish I would have gone one shade darker though. It cost like 120.00 and took less then 20 minutes to install.

Clean Ride!!!! See that's what I'm talking about, you took some real pride in your baby. You made this car yours! Good job, it's a beautiful car, and unique too. I can't recall the last time I saw an Aurora on the road. Do you still have it and have you done anything else to it? Post more if you have. BTW, awesome videography, what program did you use?

[Rapmastac1]

@infleader I still have it but it has been out of comission for a little more than a year. The transmission is broken but since then I've just not needed a car.

I used iMovie 10 to edit this movie.

To the people who hates the car, i know i'm not the owner but...but that auora is the best auora i've ever seen so if you don't like it don't comment. and to the owner, dude you did a awsome job on that auora. and i love the caddy logo. 5 stars

[Rapmastac1]

Thank you, I try to keep it in the best shape possible. I know if this one broke down I would definitely get another! I thought the caddy emblems were cool when I did that, but when I look back on it I kind of regret doing it. Trail and error, I don't get anywhere without it.

[jbadzinski]

Why would you put Caddy emblems on and oldsmobile? That makes no sense at all

[vinmanr07]

Just wondering how easy was it to remove the center console..i have a 98 aurora and the plastic piece broke on me and my power trans button wire is broke and i d like to fix.

[buickpusha]

i have this same car i understand it is basicly a caddy BUT ITS NOT other than them emblems nice car

[xjsmstr]

Dude! I've seen the pics on ACNA but I didnt know that you put caddy emblems on it! Not a fan of them, but thats just my opinion!

I would gripe about wheels but I saw the thread on those, I dont blame you for that one haha. Just get a set of stock alloys or something, they would be better than those!
