Which makes better products? Custom Grand Am is a few dollars less.

It's easy to cut costs when you don't have to R&D. ;)
I'd go with GrafxWerks myself. Currie RAWKS!

that's a hard one. Custome Grand Am seems to be coming out with more products at a quicker rate, and their prices are a lil better.
Custom Grand Am for me!

GRAFXWERKS they rawk!!!! customer service is great. high quality product. and as to them not coming up with stuff as fast as custom grand am its easy when you just copy someone elses design.

no its not worth the 15$ when you can buy it at your local radio shack for 3.50$

I've never bought vinyl products from CustomGrandAm before, so my opinoin is biased. Grafxwerks has always been great all three times I've placed orders. Very good stuff and I would highly recommend it.
As for the new products from CGA, I greatly look forward to the new HVAC, Fog, Shifter and possibly a entire gauge replacement. Those are high on my list of stuff to do.
White face gauges from CGA and vinyl from Grafxwerks, works for me.

ive ordered about 200 bucks worth of stuff from customgrandam.com and the guy (David) is awsome, great customer service, replaced things for free when something went wrong....ive heard a lot of good things about grafwerks...

I just noticed something. It's Grafxwerks not Grafxworks. I always entered www.grafxworks.com. It takes you to the same place. I'm thinking Custom Grand Am because I'll get more for my money.

I just wanted to add that the HVACs, Shifter and Fog Light is from www.customautoaccents.com and not customgrandam. Also check out the new headrest inserts available :) Thanks

I havent ordered too much off of the net yet. I dont have a credit card or paypal so I would have to use money orders. So i am waiting a little longer. Plus I just got a job so I will start raking in some money.
I got the Stubby Ant. from Advanced Auto parts for 4.50

:::GROWL::: I really dislike this conversation but I have to say I like David at Customgrandam.com... he has made me so much custom stuff for my car and responds so quickly to my e-mails, I have a hard time seeing Ryan from grafxwerks.com doing the same as David has but I do buy from both. So he made mistakes in the past with the pictures, but all the pictures he has ever used from me he asked me first. Actually, I have to go send him a few right now. :P

I am curious as to how close their colors are to each other. I'm gonna get reflective bright yellow. I am getting Grand Am decals for my mud flaps from Custom Grand Am but I might get opther decals from Grafxwerks. I was just wondering if they would be the same color?

Ryan is a good guy. He also doesn't have to emphasize on 'FREE SHIPPING' to get business, he charges shipping for faster shipments, that's it, plus he hooks up a discount when he can. He is replacing my screw up while putting on my inlay as well, he's quick to respond to emails too. Ryan is great. :agree:

For the stubby antenna, You should have an Advanced Auto Parts or an Autozone in your town. Look there. they have them for under 5 bucks.

... ironic :lol: ... simple answer though, if Ryan (or the "Custom Grand AM" guy for that matter) doesn't have everything you want, tell what else you need and they will just MAKE IT for you :wink4:

Well just like to say Ryan replies to my emails with in the day or next day (I'm typically on late at night). And if you ask he can do just about anything. I recieved a $150 custom order in a week from Ryan, I couldn't have asked for more. He dupicated my club logo even when I couldn't provide him with the proper fonts or images. I just emailed him with a much larger project and he replied that it could be done without a problem.
Maybe the other guy has good stuff and never meant to misrepresent his products but I see it this way.
The money I spend is supporting wonderful sites like the GAOC and N-body.net because he is a active part of the community.
And as a true enthusiast that means alot more to me than free shipping.http://www.freeadpower.org/~mrsmiles/otn/realhappy/bigok.gif

I didn't read all the posts, but Ryan at Grafxwerks also includes free shipping. The only way its going to cost you if you want express delivery. Plus he is shipping from Canada, so he eats up the cost more than the guy from the US. Ryan is the best person to deal with when you are buying vinyl. Nuff said...

Grafxwerks all the way! I just got my custom order a few days ago and it's perfect! I just told him what I wanted, and after a large number of e-mails and concept images, we got it the way I wanted and it was off in the mail! He is by far one of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. My money goes to him.

I discount all orders over $50.

I've got Yellow Reflective Vinyl all the way around my car from Grafxwerks. Satisfied? Hell yes i am. Customer service was awesome, and a great product to boot.
I just put on yellow "Ram Air" decals on my hood, red "Pontiac" on the windshield wiper guard thing, and a steering wheel decal kit all from Custom GA. Satisfied? Hell yes I am.
Point is...both my purchases were spur of the moment. I have no complaints for either company, only A++++ for both. Will do business with both again.

I purchased a custom reflective black banner from grafixwerk and it was nice, then i got reflective GA logos from custom GA and they didnt seem to reflect like my banner from grafixwerks.
but the guy at custom GA took them back no problem (which is a big customer service A+ in my book) so i would say that they are both great companies and to pick whichever one you feel like using.

Never dealt with CGA, but there's no need to. I've got GrafxWerks! Who needs anything else?
You all know my drama with various companies and their customer service. In a competitive business world, ethics and customer relations make or break a company. With that said, I will ALWAYS buy from GrafxWerks.
P.S. On a side note, even for a Canuck, Currie's pretty good in the sack! :P
