Sweetness dude. Now it is time for some larger rims and you'll be set. Those aren't really 18's pictured on the car are they? If so, then i'll definently be buying 19's for my baby which i'll probably be giving to my brother.

those are actually 18's...its just that when i put those on...i just put new shocks and struts on...along w/ the stock springs...and the tires on these rims are 35 series...so they are super low profile...and thats why my car looks like a grand JEEP...lol....and thats why the rims look so small....eventually ill get fatter bigger tires...and that will help some... :)

Hey Peyman, looks awesome man! I like the mirrors, they look really good! Also, I like the door pillars black still, it flows better rather then breaking up the windows. You must be glad to finally have it painted! :)

Finally! haha...Awesome man,just awesome...Just get that biotch lowered and your set:D I wouldn't get bigger tires unless you want your speedo to be off,for Id forget that it would be and be going 65 on the highway but be going around 70+ and get pulled over(maybe strict highway patrol??) But anyways,looking hot man!

nice, you going to put the black stripes on again? I thought those looked bad ass

tenspeed
08-24-2004, 12:06 PM
I'd leave the stripes off. It would detract from the new hood. Check out sweet98gagt's ride, it's similar to yours and I think it may be lowered.

Looks good man!!! although it looks like there is almost no tire on the rim. must get a taller tire it just doesnt look right with a ruberband for a tire. other than that i would say its looking great.

the hood looks grossly out of proportion and the nostrils rise up too high

as far as wings go....your's doesn't suck too much, it actually fits pretty good with the scheme

I've never personally thought that red complimented the AED kit....but, whatever floats your goat

yeah hopefully one day it will... but i'm also thinkin about upgrading it to a newer one. But i've been lookin around.. and ive also been lookin at some trucks.. so i really havent made up my mind yet.. still going 90 trying to figure out what i wanna do. i would like to have a car and a truck.. but being 18... eh.. might be awhile till that happens.. lol.. :lol:

Peyman
08-30-2004, 06:09 PM
haha...for a while...long while i wanted a 99+ ga...after 2 attempts of gettin the newer model...my parents ruined it for me...so i thought to myself...whatever...if i cant have a 99+...then im gonna pimp out my 96

redhotgrandam96
08-30-2004, 06:13 PM
yeah that sucks... i like the style of the newer ones.. but damn you did an awesome job on the 96... did u have anything planed if u would of gotten a 99+ like any body kits or anything like that?

Peyman
08-30-2004, 06:37 PM
well ive always wanted the aed kit...pretty bad....and i think it looks a lot better on the 99+ opposed to the 92-98 ga's....and either way i had to get aed...so if it couldnt happen on the 99+...it was gonna happen for the 96 :)

as for the car. youve sold me on the body kit. i've been seriously looking into them and this is the "icing on the cake". did you habve your whole care repainted, or just the kit? its soooooooo nice. keep up the prime work bro.

youd think,lol,but noooo Ohio's speed limit on all their highways is 65.


I do have to say,like the kit on the 96-98 GA's,maybe its because of our already clear headlights,but yours look awesome,hood completes it nicely.

Thanks!...yeh i got the whole car repainted....i knew just painting the body kit wouldnt be a perfect match since the car is about 8 years old
