This is the only pic of the car I took, I thought I had more but It must have been

It was by far the nicest GA at the show (that I saw), and of the 5 total that I did see, they all had the same body kit. This one did have the most custom work to it thought which helped set it apart from the rest and let me tell you the work was clean. Civic headlighs...ha eat your heart out. These Silvia headlights look Alot nicer!

[nineteen88ga]

This also from the show...A shot of a gauge pod I worked on for a customer of mine. in a 240sx w/SR20DET swap.

hard to tell but they're all blitz gauges.

god damn the silvia headlights look great there, but im pissed at the wapanese long-and-flat-grille. Would have looked better with the pontiac signature grille or maybe a custom grille similar to the Pontiac signature dual nostril griles. I almost thought that was a modded s15, but then I noticed spoiler/trunklid area and the close similarity of the front end to that of the AED front end.

Id never drive it out of principle, but its sexy nonetheless :thumbup:

[TA^Guy]

Very cool Steve, maybe someone some more photos of it will pop up later on. I'd be interested in seeing it for sure, and I'm sure Bic, I mean Mike, will also. I'm a huge fan of custom swaps like that.

Take note everybody...

The car above is what we like to call 'custom'. Not bolting on a wheels, a hood or a body kit. That is 'personalizing' a ride.

[Bouchie11982]

wow! talk about custom! that is damn hot! i didn't realize it was a grand am, the headlights and grill threw me out in left field and back in the air :lol:

[ManktheTank19]

That is def a hot ride :)

I think his name is Dustin, who owns that car :)

[apcjuggalo17]

ya i think thats dustin from over at AED nhe was talking about the headlight swap

[Big Joe]

I like it, I like it alot.

[ga5speed02]

thats sweet. i always thought of cutting the center of the kit out. either at the top or the bottom or both. that looks good. i like it.
what year is that?

['96GAGT]

That car is one sweet looking ride? If its a cardomain shot? Isn't there a cardomain for that car then?

[DontPassTheFence]

^^ theoretically :D

[VanishingImage]

go to photo post, then do a member search and type in nvmystyl

I also have some in my aed gallery member search = Sweet98gagt

[DontPassTheFence]

NSX side scoops? Now this I gotta see. I gotta meet this guy someday, he sounds like a master, if he managed to get those s15 projectors to WORK well with the GA wiring - its just too bad the motor is stock :(

[DontPassTheFence]

CMON CMON CMON! get them pics :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:

its still funny to me a Grand Am getting featured heavily at IMPORT NIGHTS lol. However it does have enough import parts on it, so I guess it counts.

[DontPassTheFence]

as much as I hate those tails, he made them look good. and Im convinced that car would KILL with the grand prix nostrils.

[VanishingImage]

Its awesome to see some kick ass domestics at import shows. Shows that the domestics can do just as good, even they are just shows.

[nineteen88ga]

Yeah, I have ALOT of Video footage of this car....no more stills :( unfortunately.

Anyone know if he end uptaking anything home from Carlisle?

[VanishingImage]

Im sure Gus would know,believe he was there with Dustin

[urweak]

i always wondered how the CF hoods would look painted like that where there is the cure in the stock GA hood. Turned out good.

[Sweet98GA]

pauls got more pics in a link he posted in a thread called "carlilsle" 2006 (started by me)

he was in Top Flight judging in the 2 door wild class. Not 2 door grand am or gm... just 2 door wild. He did not place, although he is disputing the judging because a green mustang beat him, and it shouldn't have. He got 3rd at HIN beating this car, and somehow he got beat at this show... just goes to show that its all in who judges your car

[nvmystyl]

Here are a couple of pics of my car. It is totally redone and modified inside and out. Gus has told you all about this car and I am just posting some more pics. I actually have yet to take any pics of it since I got it back from paint but, there are plenty of other shows that I will be attending.

Ps notice the NSX side scoops and molded body kit

[car audio dave]

wow your car looks good. i know all about judging...its totally political usually. if you thnik you won fair and square then argue it, but honestly, if its subjective then chances are youll have no luck.

[nineteen88ga]

holy blurry pics...but still dosen't take away from the car.

PS why complain about not winning a lame trophy anyways. We all know your car is hot :), what will a $10 piece of plastic and wood proove. Nothing.

['96GAGT]

Wicked car man.. I'd love to see more pictures of it.. Just to see what you did to it. If you do PM me ok?>

[TA^Guy]

Very nice car man, love the paint and how you did the hood. I've been telling y wife for sometime now she needs to get a carbon fiber hood for her car and paint it black so it had carbon fiber stripes off the nostrals.

I agree.

[DontPassTheFence]

hell yes NSX side scoops look perfect :D
I cant believe a mustang beat your car, I mean shit, the front of your car LOOKS like a sexier version of the previous-gen mustangs. Damn judges!

[Sweet98GA]

i got my camera back from him last night... I'll get some non blurry pics up in the next couple of days

we will both be at tuner war in hershey pennsylvainia june 4th... well i'm hoping my car will be done (it won't) but it'd be nice

[VanishingImage]
