Opinions?

[57butler]

Do you like it?

[Big Joe]

Not my tasts. Is that a black hood or cf?

[XoticGA]

No :(

[wiseojelly]

It's a good looking car. Though I don't like the stuff on the side. Not sure why.

[Dave C]

if the hood had a little white on it (like a strip down the center or the sides) I would like it a lot more. also, the wheels don't look like they stick out far enough in that picture, it seems like the bodykit is too wide at the bottom, if you understand what I'm trying to say :lol:

anyway, not quite my style, but I repspect what you've done to it because it looks well done.

[GT2000]

Not my style but it looks like it was put together well and clean. I give thumbs up for that. But its your ride, and do what you like! Cause in the end thats all that matters.

[b2089]

Well I like it. It's different which is a very good thing. We can't all drive the same cookie cutter car after all.

The wheels perhaps could stick out further to come to the edge, but in a photo it's impossible to tell if they need to.

[beckybun]

i like it. props to you for doing something different :)

[Vhrus]

Its a little to busy for my taste, but if I saw it I would definatly do a double take and think "damn that guy put allot of work into his car".

But it is very nice for someone else's (your) car :D

[thebizz2k5]

different....But nice. I Like

[kody]

I like it, nice job. The body kit is cool too but maybe a little wide at the back, got any more pics from different angles?

[Rugglebear]

I think it's ****ing sweet dude.

[pyro]

it def goes with that kit. a little ricey for a grand am IMO. would be better if you had the 4 cyl to back up the looks.

[coupe]

I dont like it at all, way way way over done.

correct

[gicts]

besides the front bumper I really like it, esp the graphics!


oh! and why no tint?

[coupe]

He was to busy spending his money on graphics.

[Gt1panthergirl]

Sweet car! Love everything about it....the kit, rims & graphics! Excellent job! :thumbup2:

Agreed.

However. You are the only one that has to like it. (duh)
So... my opinion means nuts. Also....I can appreciate your effort.
Actually. This is what I would do to improve the looks. Lose the wing, kit, graphics and fart can. :lol:
I'm kidding dude. What ever floats your boat.....I guess.

[Sweet98GA]

Constructive critism:

I do not at all like that front bumper... even the andy's one is better (but still bad)

You need to fill the dips on either side of the door in because of that rocker panel going 1/2 way up your car, it just doesn't look right

The graphics kinda need to go, but I won't hold that against ya

You should paint the outsides of the hood white (like on either sie of the vents) and maybe in the middle of the vents... not sure about the middle... but definitely the outsides... Anyone can put on a CF hood... its that lil extra flair that makes it that much better :)

ahh well in that case nice car

[GTSpeeder]

I agree with pyro; the car does look too ricey. But it still has some aggressive style that i appreciate.

[Requiem]

I like the graphics on the side, but I definitely wish the hood was white.

[OhioGrandAm]

I don't like the lower front of the car. It just does not look right.

[sumx4182]

kit...yes...wing...no...graphics...eh...but nice overall

['96GAGT]

Kit screams "I'm too busy"

[Bouchie11982]

the kit is just too much for me. but other then the kit it looks good.

[88si]

Rims: Yes, but +1 more inch prolly woulda been better
Color: Yes
GFX: Yes, but I woulda had them spread more out on the car, so it's not such a straight line
Hood: Yes
Kit: I think the only reason why the rims look small is because of it, it's a lot for a GA though
Wing: Not that one, but adds to the "busy" look on the car
Fart pipe: Better not be one on there!
Rice lights: Not for GA's

All in all, not bad. The rims and the color of the gfx def go with the color of the car. You've def done a lot of work, and it's hard sometimes to go against a norm. The thing that matters is you of course - how do you feel about it? As long as you feel great when you're in it, and not like you're missing something, that's all that matters. Now, you just better turbo the hell out of that thing, just to back up the loud words it speaks!

[Dboucher]

Nice ride man, love the black on white :D. Only thing that I would take off is the antena. Would say the same for the vinal usualy but you managed to pull it off with the tribal graphix. Anyhow keep it up.

[redhotdj]

a little on the wild side but as long as you like it thats all that matters

[Rennation]

i think its very ugly but whatever floats your boat

too much

[ancona46]

you guys are harsh its not bad the only thing im not big on is the spoiler

[Gran_Damn69]

i dont knwo what these guys are talkin bout... i think your ride looks sick as hell....
what is wit everyone beatin down the kits and wings..... are you guys really likeing that stock "everyday" car that blends in with the crowd...
me honostly am one who likes to stand out and this car is sick!

[96GreenGaGT]

it's nice... i wonder if those side skirts would fit a 96-98 grand am.. the side skirts they make for my year body style suck ass. those are much better.....

but just gotta wonder if a 99+ 2 door has the same length side skirt ad a 96-98 grand am... if so i can make it fit. lol.

[Jessika]

You know I really do like it. Maybe not the body kit, but the flames are kickass

Your opinion shows your age......

99-05 GAGT's are very aggressive lookin from the factory, no need to change much to make it look badass. Simple springs, tint, 18's and you have a hot GAGT. These cars just dont need body kits.

[b2089]

Actually I think Gran_Damn is right in my opinion

We all (myself included) have a habit of judging cars from our own tastes according to what we would drive. That's not subjective and it isn't fair. We have to look back and think of the bigger creation. Would I personally want to drive Butlers car, no. Do I like it, hell yes I like it. I can see where he's going with it and I think he did a great job of pulling it together. There are alot of cars I don't personally want but that I apreciate a great deal. Like I've said a million times, the car I most dislike is the car that is the same as everyone elses. If graphics are your thing, then do them well.

When it comes to body kits, wings, graphics, fart can mufflers, chrome tail lights these things have become a FAD. People only do them becuase its the *in thing to do *. Its obvious mostly becuase the people that are doing these mods are 16-20 years olds. In those years of life following fads is normal. How many times do we see in a single week a new member that is 16 starts his first thread with "where can i find a body kit?". Dosent give any specifics or styles wanted, just wants a body kit, dosent matter what it looks like. As long as they can find a body kit really cheap they are cool with buying it. This member is 36 i know and dosent fit the mold but i know a few adults that havent grown up and gotten away from the fads.

We can all thank FnF for this fad.

[Grand_Damn]

looks nice...you should bondo the indent part the door and make it flat to match it more.

and maybe make a line so it the lines on the rear and front bumper blend in more.

As far as fads go, in the early 90's I had an 82 Chevrolet Malibu with a "kit" on it. We called them ground effects in the day, but no matter how you slice it, kits are here to stay. They started in the 80s as far as I can tell when people who made the custom style hotrods off the 40s cars decided to mass produce parts and make a fortune. It quickly expanded to all cars and I don't see it ending anytime soon. I wish I could find an old pic to show you, but being young I wasn't nostalgic enough to snap photos. These kids are years ahead of where I was.

This is kind of what the kit looked like. It was actually very nice on a Malibu. In those days kits were more subtle. http://www.edozone.com/chevrolet/Camaro%201993-1997%20body%20kit.jpg

[coupe]

I know they have been around forever. They werent popular or *the in thing to do* until that stupid movie FnF came out. Now every kid with $400 is lookin for a body kit. You know what $400 will get ya? A stupid lookin ride that needs to be bought by the circus.

[Shad0wguy]

I really dig the tribal graphics. The wing, not so much.

i have to disagree with what your saying... i dont think that that movie made them follow everyone. they just woke up to the world of tuning... its not the *in thing to do* they arnt trying to make there cars look like everyone elses or the ones from the movie... theyre going for theyre own look... the body kit is just the start to what they want there car to look like... your car represents who you are (i believe)... sure stock cars are good enough.. but people want to express there creativity.. sure some of them dont have ne but there are people out there who create sick cars...
and for the body kit remark.. some of these kids may not know what the hell there looking for... but there ready to make mistakes.. there young and are willing to learn... who knows maybe they want there car to look like it belongs in the circus :lol:

[blackgt2k]

I can respect the work that you have done to the car, though im my own personal opinion, a white car should have a white hood...you could do a carbon fiber, though to have a black painted hood on a white car, just to me doesnt make sense. the body kit reminds me of a fortune cookie in some way. Not my taste. I remember seeing your car at atco last year, id take the decals off, the all whiteness before made the car flow...now the decal stands out way to much and throws off the flow of the car....though thats my personal opiion.....though to each their own....

[rys99grandam]

I am not a fan of body kits. However, You did it right, Everything matches, and looks clean.

I would probably do the side pannels next, that gap just off sets the kit

[Sl@cker]

Looks good dude. In my books anything custom is better than stock. :rockdude: :rockdude:

then your ride look like clowns should be coming out of it

[SeDaN]

i love the wing and body kit, and i love the hood of course thats why i own one myself -- things i dont like - the black vinyl on the side, and the rear white decal on the window, other than that, damn nice rims and damn nice ride you should be proud

[96GreenGaGT]

people don't know what rice is.. there is a difference between rice and tuning... rice is the crappy look where it looks like you didn't put any effort into it. tuning looks like a professional did it.

fart cans that sound like lawn mowers are rice.. fart cans that sound nicely tuned are tuners. there's s difference. know it before you hate it.

And Fast and the Furious didn't make it a fad. The only thing that movie did was open up the eyes of young people who didn't know better. Body kits and aftermarket engine parts have been around and fashionable since the begining of racing. That's the reason body kits were designed in the first place.. for better aerodynamics.

To the original poster and owner of the car. Can you do me a favor and measure the bottom of the side skirts? I mean from the front fender to the back fender where the side skirts cover? Cuz I want to know if those sides will fit my car. Those are something along the lines that i'm looking for. Also what body kit is that side skirts from? so i can find them. Thanks.

and before you call me rice for putting those side skirts on.. wait til i'm done. then i'll unvail the car to you. i got creativity and hands on experience on my side. :P

body kit is invader 2 sides 77"inch. and no fart can flowe master 40.

Bob, I assume your going to be at Atco in November? Can't wait to see it...


The rest of you, back off. I've seen his car in person, and I can 100% garuntee that his stuff looks damned good. I'll say it myself it's not my tastes, but it looks damned good because it was done correctly. It's not just the outside that's done professionally either, the whole car has been reworked, so the rest of you better show some respect for it, whether it's your personal tastes or not.

Where to buy? And do you have front pic? Show me all pics of your ride!

[96GreenGaGT]

77 inches... now is that the bottom of the side panel from fender to fender? or the top?

could you do me another favor and take another measurement or two for me?

It would be nice if i could get the complete dimensions of it.. that would give me more of an idea of what i can work with...

but i will settle for just the measurements of the top from end to end and of the bottom from end to end. and the hieghts of both front and back fender pieces (the part that is on the fender).

Thanks man. If that's the bottom it'll be tough to work with... i think 77inches is like an inch and a half too long.. but that's not a big problem...

oh speaking of which. could you also give me the measurement of the gap between? you know the gap for the door. i need to know that too. Thanks for everything. Hopefully I can pull off what I have in mind. otherwise i'll be dissapointed that it won't be workable lol.

alright guys seriously why dont you both stop...Let the guy do what he wants to his car. Don't like it let him know but you dont have to keep drilling him about it seriously. Just relax, sit back, and appreciate the work and money he put into it. It is a beauty in his eyes. Maybe he asked for your opinion, ok give it to him and then just let it go.
