Added some more reflective vinyl. I know some people dont like some of what i have like my windshield banner, but i like it. Some of the pictures the car was still wet since it was like 30 degrees out and i just washed the car.

Way to much reflective vinyl.

Yeah the "Grand Am" totally kills any hope for it IMO. Not even the fact that you have a windsheild banner it's A) White and doesn't match the rest of your color theme going on, and B) A stanard genaric font and makes it look cheep.

If the banner were say Red and in the Pontiac font it would make a world of difference.

I agree with both of the above statements. Too much reflective and bizare thought. But to each his own man. As long as you like it I guess thats all that matters.

Looks kinda cool, very different

It's a very unique look. Maybe your windshield banner would look a little better if the text was red, but i think it looks decent.

I had a feeling 90% of the people wouldnt like it. By the way all the reflective is orange...... So maybe an orange windsheild banner.

Personally its not my style, like I said, but I didnt say it looks bad. I think it has too much reflective, but I didnt say it looked bad. Its just too much for me. But this is coming from a guy who has a 3rd row bench seat for a spoiler on my DSM so yeah, I have some shitty ideals too that are far worse than your reflective vinyl. Its a good ideal man, I think it all comes down to what you like.

I would go with the same color windshiled banner though. IMO

Keep up the work man.

Looks good, I've got reflective striping too... But in blue

That looks pretty wild . I'd get the windshield banner to match the rest of the reflective & get the correct font. Looks cool to me .

looks pretty badass.

IMO it would look better if the grand am part wasnt vinyl, and you just had the bumper strips.

kind reminds me of a cop car.

Up until this thread my car was the only Black with Orange GA I had ever seen.

Im liking the black on orange a lot. Just chnage the banner to the same color and you have a winner in my book.

What does the door handle vinyl look like in the day time?

I don't think you need the banner. my problem with such things is that, I think eveyone already knows that it's a GRAND AM AND PONTIAC.

GtAudioFreak

Honestly, around here anyway my car gets called a grand prix a lot.

This is off subject but is that a Jensen IN Dash DVD head unit ?
I have one I use in my g\fs car and its exactly like that.

I had a guy tell me I had a nice Mustang one time, and mine still has the door badges.

Yea its the jensen in dash unit, sound quality isnt the greatest so i bought an equalizer. But the screen it self is sweet, its the same screen they put on the alpine units.

lol to the mustang comment, man people can really be dumb about cars.

nice but but a bit too many stickers for my taste

I don't think I'd be too thrilled to meet your car at night, it'd be like driving past a mirror. But at least you care enough about your car to do something with it. A girl I know has a 4th gen GA and she beat the thing to shit, the engine doesn't sound good at all because her normal speed is 80.

GtAudioFreak

11-04-2006, 11:30 PM

I hate that too.... a guy came into my work and his gagt was wrecked and the mirror was hanging off i was embarrassed that he was driving a ga like that

Yeah her sound quality isnt that good either but its got an amazing picture for the price she paid for it you wouldnt believe it. Makes my Kenwood 911 look bad lol

I think she paid like 388 for it from walmart just as a basic headunit and she loves it. I like the picture quality.

That's my normal speed. As long as its constant its not bad for the engine, its better than stop and go traffic.

GET THE F..OUT THAT FUNNY....
I LIKE MY GA, BUT I WOULD NOT MIND THAT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A COBRA OR EVEN A GT..

I get that all the time.

People think its a mustang or grand prix.

I even had one guy say "hey nice ferrari!", and he was dead serious....wow.
