[scotiez]

Nice ride man. i think it would look awesome with some tint on your windows. I love red cars with tint.

[Ui4life]

Thanks bro thats coming soon i just got sponsored by gila soo iam going to have some one tint the wheels when i can find someone. I need more custom or unique ideas for my car soo hit me up. throw any ideas at me people

[kubiache]

You're not sponsored, you never were, and you never will be. Stop lying to yourself because you're not fooling anyone.

See my post on Grand Visions for what I honestly think you should do...short version = start over.

Thanks bro. your car is quite nice also keep up the good work and any tips or advice is greatly appericated. " kubiache" you know i dont care if you dont think I am sponsored because you contact jeff at vahorn1.com , contact mothers, contact gila, contact motorsports decals and a few others if you would like . So if you dont believe me waaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaa!
BTW thanks everyone for the comments

[kubiache]

Just like Toyo gave your club $10,000 right? And APOC "sponsored" you by giving you stickers?

Ok, chief.

:bsmeter:

[GTPprix]

Dude, getting a can of polish (did you ever use it!?) from Mothers, a tint install kit from Gila (who uses that shit film anyhow) and a decal from Motorsports decal does NOT constitute being sponsored. No company in thier right mind would want thier name associated with the hackjob you commited on a perfectly good car!

[Ui4life]

listen you dont know me , you dont know my car soo dont judge me , i got more car care products then you can imagine , i got decals made custom, i got neons , i got a trunk mat, i got enough tint to do my all my windows but front ( dark enough to where u have use a flash light) and more all sponsored.

[GTPprix]

I've seen your car, I've seen your posts about etching your window with a DREMEL!! I've also seen you post about you painting your interior IN THE CAR. Ghetto does not mean sponsored!

[Ui4life]

why dont you check out my car and see how things have changed then judge me http://members.cardomain.com/ui4life

[kubiache]

Whoa! You have a trunk mat!? Awesome! I can't wait to see your home tint job...I'll probably see less bubbles in a pot of boiling water.

*one of the things I specifically suggested on GV was NOT to do your own tint. Apparently you didn't read that, and instead just went ahead and posted a new thread asking the same thing...way to go.

Hahah yeah.. I must have been wrong.. oh wait no.. your engine pictures clearly show I was right, you painted the valve covers (and everything else around it) without removing them from the car with a can of spray paint!! "YOU THERE, OUT OF THE GENE POOL!" As far as calling Kubi stupid, yeah if he were dumb enough to rice the shit out of his car like you have, you could bet your ass he would take the pieces OFF the car before paiting them!

[iceman]

Whoa.. time to watch this old house and learn how to NOT overspray ... is there such a thing called masking tape in MI?

[kubiache]

Ummm, no...look at my car, then look at your car. Once you've completed that task, look at my previous post and tell me where I say "your current tint sucks." (Because to me, it looks like I said I WILL see bubbles...not I DO see bubbles)

And great job on the engine bay. I like how the hoses show more black the farther back they go.

[RedHot97GAGT]

Whoa, whats with all the hostility? I don't see why the insults are necessary.

Yeah, actually it does.

I think that if he's making the car look the way he wants and he's proud of it thats cool. Just because I might do things differently doesn't give me the right to insult him. That's why you have your car and he has his. If you don't like what he's doing don't do it to your car. When someone asks for suggestions that doesn't entitle you to insult him.
Just my $.02

Thanks alot bro, yea the wire loom is alittle messed up , iam wanting to do a new loom /dress up kit , but ill admit if it wasn't for you guys my car wouldnt of took a turn for the better, and just for a little thought , ive raised myself sinc ei was 14 yrs old , never had a dad , soo i learned all the things i know from internet, people like you and books and myself. i learn from my mistakes , but my car is getting there

[RedHot97GAGT]

Ui4life do you have a link for that trunk mat? I think that looks sweet with the reflective GT.

[Ui4life]

www.granddesignmat.com , hey red anyway i can talk to u on a messenger ? also ill be working on removing over spray and etc. tommorrrow i got alot of work ahead of me .

[Ui4life]

what is good for removing over spray ?

[zomb]

I don't really like everything you did to your car, mostly the paint in the engine bay, but if you like it then that's great. Keep up with the work.

Redhot97GAGT, I'm in love with your car. It reminds me of this 94 Grand Prix GTP. Same color and feel, the kit feels the same. It just looks awesome. I would choose your 97GA GT over a 2004 GT anyday. I don't know why, but I would. I always look at my car and try pretend it's a GT with a cooler body kit and invision it with dual exaust on both sides and a nice red color.. :p Then I get in the car and it shakes and squeeks and makes lots of noises and I face the truth. Some day when I have some spare cash.....

[RedHot97GAGT]

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I could keep the 1997 body but get the supercharged 3800. Now that would be a grand am.

[zomb]

I don't know, but if your GA GT is ever for sale, let me know. :p

[95GAinFLA]

hey, does that intake actually work, if so how did you make it?

[mthegodfather]

He definately has a great lookin GAGT.

[Ui4life]

yes the intake works, i used 3 inch exhaust test pipe , 3 in. rubber pipe coupler and a apc intmidator(sp? ) cone filter. i also have a idea for a home-made supercharger/ air inductor but i wont release the idea yet.

[mwsriders]

im interested about the intake idea my self.....How does having that filter at a high point of the engine compartment work out without any insulation to protect it from the heat of the engine. Also, the paint in the compartment looks really bad...take off parts before you spray them. Whats up with the exahust...maybe someone should look at that to.

not intending to insult just some things to think about.

[Ui4life]

the intake works really well but iam changing the design a little bit, right now its considered a WAI (warm air intake) its sitting behind the battery, good point on the engine paint considering it is almost strip as we speak. I am also stripping the interior paint and buliding a new enclosure in the spare tire well with a new 12 in lighting audio with 300 watts ran to it.then when this all done iam going through and cleaning the carpet to give it that new look again , washing and detailing the car and more. well peace ~jay~

[RedHot97GAGT]

For any of the questions about my intake I explained how I did it here (http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/631995/3) If you have any more specific questions PM me. As for selling the car to you Zomb. I considered it. I have to put in a new engine right now. The words "rod knock" sent shivers up my spine. I figure I have to keep it for at least 8 years LOL to get any value out of it now.

[blk95ga]

Not trying to be harsh Ui4life, but the only thing that looks good on/in your car is the trunk mat, IMO.

[ragepsych0]

dude, im sorry to say this, but i think you just need to completely start over on your car (except the trunk matt) completely start everything again man, seriously. I mean, my car is a R1CED GA, but at least my work didnt take me 10 seconds to do, if you are going to do something to your car, do it right. start over. sorry.

[Duster]

One i live in MI also and nobody in there right minds would sponsor an old as hoopty GA from the good old MI! that is in a sence stock like yours!

Two toyo did not give u $10,000 cause toyo doesnt sponsor non racing/ non compition vechiles! I know ive tried and asked them!


Thirdly you have a decent car!

Fourthly I think if you start modding a car do it to somthing newer! Your gonna pull up to show in a hoopty 93 GA while other ppl are pimpin newer shit then yours! You aint gonna get a second glance by any sponsor! Newer car shows you keep up in the world of cars and got hook ups with money and got good taste!

Fifthly! Make it go fast before you make it look fast! First thing i learned on these fourms!!

Next! Are you asian? No? Stop ricing your car out man plezz for the love of god get a civic and do it not a ga man! Give ga's a bad name!

Tint? that car needs a make over! If your so set on modding it a kit should be your next thing fu#k tint fu%k subs dude a kit make it look pimp! Screw sound make it look fast make it run fast! Then worry about makin it sound bad ass! After a kit pick up some 96 fenders and civic projectors! slap that shit on there and then you'll have somthin to show off! Your car better be lowered before you even consider rims or showing this car off!!

Just my two cents!

And if your ever around dertiot lookin for a race and my grand ams new motors in ill show what a real 94 grand am can do!

Grand Ams where meant for one thing and one thing only! To fuel the soul with speed dude!!

[RedHot97GAGT]

Hey Ui my car might be for sale if you want to buy it. I just bought a 2004 Mustang. PM me if your interested.

[Grandam02chick]

I also wanna add that there's def don't think anyone would sponser ur car they way it looks.or even give ya 10grand.so I would stop trying to impress us by giving us a HUGE BS line,cuz trust me from where I live I hear it everyday from everyone with there cars.
