and here is a night shot with the neons. by the way how do you post more than one pic per post?

[XoticGA]

Looks good, I'm not feelin the black spoiler though, it's just kinda stickin out..

[LCCUB]

looks good, I agree about the black spoiler though, stands out too much maybe if you had a CF too but I say get it painted if you can, and if you have the pictures hosted somewhere (ie cardomain or something) you can link to multiple pictures with the IMG tag

[ManktheTank19]

Looks good :)

[coupe]

Use photobucket. Its idiot proof. Trust me i know, thats why i use it.

[wiseojelly]

Nice looking car

[BattousaiX23]

thanks for the comments, i just got done talking with a auto body shop, they said they would paint it for $60, thanks for the info about putting more than one picture in one post.

[BattousaiX23]

what company makes a carbon fiber sc/t hood? if so where can you get them and how much are they?

[GT2000]

Leave it black, do a GT conversion, and do a two tone SC/T kit :)

[Dave C]

you mean like this? :)

yea, I know the back piece isn't on yet, it is a pain to get it fitted right. still working on it...

and sorry about whoring up your thread...

the spoiler looks interesting. I was thinking a while back about what it would look like to have only the underside of the spoiler painted black. I sorta like it, but it will take me a little longer to form a solid opinion.

it would look good on a two-toned SC/T though :D

Dam 60 bucks to paint it, thats some deal. I would jump all over that.

[BattousaiX23]

the guy i talked to at the body shop, told me $60, but when i went back to check to see if they could get a hold of a sc/t hood, i asked again about painting the spoiler he told me $150, so i am going to leave it black, the first guy that told the cheaper price wasn't the guy that does the estimates. i am going to try for a carbon fiber sc/t hood, for the gt conversion and sc/t body kit would cost around $1,000 and up to do the whole conversion, i have a hard time finding cheap parts. and if i go with the gt conversion and add a sc/t body kit it will take a while to save the money up for this upgrade. and if i end up doing the sc/t kit i would get it painted black. to match the rest of the black parts on the car.

[Dave C]

...you couldn't just paint the whole SC/T kit black. the front lip would be fine, but it would look really funny to do the whole sideskirts in black... at least those would have to be a two-tone.


good luck on finding the C/F SC/T hood. last I knew there were only 5 made, and since then the C/F supply has not been able to keep up with demand, meaning LONG waits on parts. I could be wrong, but this is what I've heard from others.

[BattousaiX23]

i agree that the side skirts would have to be 2 toned to look right, i think might go with the sc/t hood and get it painted to match or have it painted black, all depends on how it would look. does any one know of a site or place that have good deals on gt parts like door pannels, front and rear bumpers?

[Dave C]

the cheapest place would probably to keep checking in the For Sale section here, and wait until someone gets a bodykit and doesn't need their old stuff.

Did they ever make an SC/T 4-Door?

[BattousaiX23]

when you buy a gt you can get the sc/t appearance package from the dealer you can get it put on a 2-door or a 4-door.

[ga5speed02]

looks great. yea for silver ga's

[Vhrus]

Looks great!
Im not usually a fan of things bolted on the trunk, but that one is very tastefull and adds that little something missing from its ass shot. Although I do agree with everyone who said it would look better if it was the silver body color, kinda sticks out like a sore thumb being black on a silver car.
If you dont wanna spend (or just dont have) the couple hundred dollars to have the spoiler painted I bet you could do an awsome rattlecan job with enough wet sanding and time/patience!

[Dave C]

makes me think it is trying to be a Mustang :)

[Brandon]

4 door sc/t's exist in great numbers! the girl i was trying to get with from school had one.... *im glad we didnt get together..... she got rid of the car, and her personality... and any other good quality she had*

back on topic, ive seen a silver sc/t that had the top area of the hoodscoops black (it was a decal, but looked good) with sc/t written in front of the scoops in that lil area... then the black stripes went to the back. it looked sharp... something to think about :)

[Hoogie]

Nice car man, get that spoiler painted and it will look sharp. I noticed your from the burgh, ever go up to cranberry or zelienople?

[BattousaiX23]

i've been up to cranberry, zelienople kenny ross is where i got my grand am, i thought about making the spoiler silver it would cost me $150-$200 to get it done. i am going to find a cheaper offer, if i paint the wing i might want to get the mirrors painted to. and no i am not making it look a mustang, i didn't notice that some mustangs have black spoilers and the rest of the car another color until a week or two later after i got the wing.

[car audio dave]

the car looks good. maybe that spoiler would work if it were flat black, and you had other flat black details. generally speaking though, its tough to pull off a different color spoiler than the car.


in response to the 4-door sct...the first REAL SC/T concept was a 4 door. the "SC/T" appearance package came in either 2 or 4 door, its just a hood and spoiler.

the REAL SC/T concept:

[BattousaiX23]

i got the spoiler off and the auto body shop is going to paint it, i will get it back either tomorrow or monday. they gave an estimate of $90 to take off and paint and put it back on. i will post pics when i get it back on the car.

[98_gee-tee]

nice lookin glow

[BattousaiX23]

here is a pic with the wing painted.

[BattousaiX23]

here is a angled shot. i think i am going to get the mirrors painted next. i got a quote of $50 for both mirrors.

[BattousaiX23]

well i just aquired all the gt pannels, front and rear bumpers, 2 side skirts and the 4 door body pannels, next step is to paint them and mount them to the car. then after the that i will go for the sc/t bodykit.

[GTSpeeder]

Just a note about the Mustangs, the only ones with black spoilers and black hood stripes are the Mach 1's.

I can't wait to see the SC/T kit on your car, it would look really awesome in a two tone.

[DSMMAN]

Looks good man. Nice ride.

[BattousaiX23]

well, i am not doing the gt conversion, if anyone wants to know i already sold to someone on the forum. i don't know what direction i am going to go with it. i am open to suggestions, i plan on getting the gt tail lights, clear corner headlights and sc/t hood and possibly a hid kit. but here is a few updated pics after getting washed.

Lookin' good. I like silver GAs.

[3 DeeJay]

black spoiler looks odd... but other wise.. clean

[RedFireUFO]

Nice pics, looks really sharp!

[lowrider2962]

havent seen u on the forum in a long time buddy. glad to see u back. car looks gr8 as always

[BattousaiX23]

well i got a few more things for the car, i bought the front licence plate cover, gt taillights. and i just got the sc/t hood, here is a pic of the hood i still have to get it painted so it might be a month before i get the cash to get it done. i will have updated pics of the whole car when the hood is painted and on the car.
