Silver is teh sex! New AAS pics!

[MikeNice]

About that time again for some new pics. I spent all morning washing and waxing her. I decided to go to the road that the Fountain of Youth is on and take some pics. The road is lined with really old Oak trees. Its such a nice scenic view. I wanted to take more pics there but it's gkind of a busy road. I sat there for about 5 minutes before it was clear enough for me to park my car in the middle of the road to snap some quick pics. I'll try to get some more on that road another time but these are good for now! The temp on that road is at least 10 degrees lower than anywhere else. The trees cool it off alot.

Another thing I found funny which is pretty much off topic. The show Family Guy takes places in Rhode Island, where I'm originally from and grew up. Then about 2 years ago I moved to Florida and I live two seconds away from the Fountain of Youth. Heh, on the last show, Peter said his ancester Ponce de Leon (which is the road I live off of) discovered the Fountain of Youth and showed him walking into it. Anyway, I just found that pretty coincidental. On with the pics!

Thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to shave them soon. Money's been kinda tight since moving 2 months ago but the cash flow should start picking up again now. Also planning on Lambo'ing the front doors.

[Hodge]

mike, the AAS kit looks the best on your car, I haven't seen one that flows better. When you shave the handles it will be ****ing sick. Tell me how much it ended up costing you :)

I would make the two back doors suicide doors and don't even worry about lambo front doors. Suicide doors would look bad as **** on a 4 door

I second that :agree:

[ga5speed02]

wow mike sweet ass pic bro. :thumbup2:

[MikeNice]

Woo hoo, glad the sites back up!

Hmm, I haven't looked too much on suiciding the back doors. I thought about it at one point but I guess I just zoned it out. I'll look into whats involved...

The only thing about my car that pisses me off is the two paint chips on the front bumper. Taking the highway to work for that short period of time took it's toll. I'm just glad I don't have to go that way anymore. It'll be getting fixed soon so I'm not too worried about it.

Thanks for all the positive comments. :) If you want to see the whole set of pics I took that day, go here: Sept '05 (http://public.fotki.com/ImMikeNice/car_related/grand_am_pics_-_sept_05/)

To hear what my exhaust sounds like, go here: Magnaflow (http://media.putfile.com/Sept05-028)

Your car looks GREAT. I personally think it would look better without the headlight covers, or with those new headlights that Jay has. Either way that thing could have busted headlights and it would still look good.

But then again I like 4 doors like Lincoln Contentials with the rear doors sucide'd and the front normal which on a daily driver is more practical too.

[VanishingImage]

looking awesome Mike,thats my fav 99+ GA. I agree with a couple others,bout time you got some new pics!:D

[Hodge]

thanks for the exhaust clip!!! sounds good. Should be doing that soon maybe

[InsaneSkippy]

Looks great Mike!

[Lythium]

One of my favorite GA's I've ever seen. Those wheels are sick. Man... just great.

[ga5speed02]

[MikeNice]

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm really interested in see what those would look like on my car. I know the headlight part itself is a darker color but the amber parts are white. I'm not sure if the white would throw it off or not. I'm thinking it would but what do I know.

You definitely should. It really sounds alot better than stock does.

Sometimes the little things like that make a world of difference in appearance. This was one of 'em. Same with the black pontiac logo in front. Changes the whole feel of the car, y'know?

[ragepsych0]

pretty car buddy.

[ManktheTank19]

Great Car

When you are getting your front bumper fixed, you should paint your mirrors so your car flows better

I agree get thpose headlights off ebay when they are cheaper

Again, Great Car

Mike I'm ordered a set of those, I gotta send them back cause they're for the wrong car, but as soon as I get mine I'll have pics up so you can see what they look like on the silver.

I agree with the little things, when I put the black arrowhead on my car, it really changed the look of the front end to me.

[Bud8weiser]

That is a great looking Grand Am. Awsome job!

[SeDaN]

The headlights look decent on silver i think
