I know you like your car, and want to get the best ride, but no offence, can you say, "Rice"?

Looks like something off of Need For Speed.

Unless he lives in a foggy area.

I'm waiting to see the scoop painted and molded on. It looks big now, but painted to match it'll look nice.

Yea I agree if the hood is done right then it will be nice. Also agree with the fog lights if he doesn't need them. Also judging by the one pictures I don't see how you can call rice. You can see a body kit and a hood scoop and 2 sets of fogs, thats it.

You do realize he's in Russia right? So not everything can be the same and Tuny's ride is one of a kind that's for sure. Show a little respect.

That will look good once it's molded in Tuny...

This car is from Japan. My father bought it to me many years ago because steering wheel is on left side like all russian cars have. The most cars in my city from Japan, f.e. my second car - Subaru Legasy from Japan, it have steering wheel in right side.

Tuny - great car and that scoop is almost like mine. You are def making progress on the car and you are probably asked many times what kind of car is it :lol: Keep up the good work :)

Suggestion: If you want a nice clean look - during the molding of your hood I suggest to get rid of the hood pins.

To all the people who think his car is rice. I saved the page in my favorites the day he posted up his car with the big wing - he recently has taken it down. Tuny has had a custom kit build for him. For people with the 92 - 95 car and not. He probably has those lights in the middle because they are probably turn signals since the stock GA had them in the bumper. The yellow lights are probably his version of fog lights. And remember, he is from Russia and just like preferences here might not be the same there.

Thank you Dude, you explain all for me. But you wrong: those yellow lights is my turn signals and those lights in the middle of the bumper just fog lights, i am thinking about change or delete them.

:lol: Now im curious what it was doing in Japan.
As far as i know GM never exported this car to any other country other than Canada and Mexico.

Sorry for the OT questions, it just raises my curiousity to the history of this GA.

A few scattered GM models and years were exported. All were the usual left-hand drive. The 92-95 export GA's are easy to spot if you see the rear end... they are the only 92-95's to include a separate Amber turn signal within the tail lens.

Cavaliers also made it to Japan, but were actually a "Toyota Cavalier" over there.

Looks great Tuny. Keep up the good work.
With that said...I can't begin to imagine how much this car is costing him. Imagine the shipping costs to Russia!! And..You know this car gets tons of attention over there. (positive attention I assume)
Keep us posted Tuny.

Looks good, but I hope you plan on opening up the scoops and hood to make it at least semi-functional.

One more scoop to look like mine (that was done in 03)! j/k its all good ;)

Thats a GREAT car Tuny... nice to see something different.. I love the fact the body kit was customized for your car... i think everything looks great.. but hood pins do look a LITTLE out of place... but hey, thats completely up to you :)

I'm just saying it looks like it's out of Need For Speed Underground, mostly like the 240SX they have, looks like something they would do on MTV's Pimp My Ride, which most cars on there, don't need to look like they do after the show... American cars are turning into what the Japanese think are 'hot' which is what most people call 'ricers.' I'm just saying it doesn't look too good to ME, but that doesn't matter. If Tuny didn't want comments like mine, they wouldn't have posted the pictures. I'm just putting my opinion in there.

Not sure if you know how hard it is for him to get parts in Russia.

Also incase you didn't know most of his stuff is custom made.

Actually you are sadly mistaken. The Japanese do not put huge wings, and bodykits on civics and such. If you take a close look at Japanese automotive culture its not the same as it is here in the states. Most cars in Japan that are modified are modded for performance with less on exterior apperence.

Like always Tuny,awesome!


And custom stuff like that can't be rice because rice is universal bolt on crap,not to mention hes in Russia,comon! hehe

wow man, i really have to say for the 95, thats the best looking one! hands down , it puts my car to shame, i love the scoops i would only do it if it was functionable but wow good work man, freakin love that bumper, makes me soo sick of my aas

Jeremiah, what's rice about it? I see a nice kit with good fitment, nothing over the top, and no jutting lines. The fogs are the only thing that looks out of place and Tuny said he was going to do something different with it. He has a one of a kind car in a place that doesn't see anything for Grand Ams.

Thank you evryone for your opinions! When everything will be installed I'll make many photos to show you. My plans for this summer: new trunk, rear lights, hood scoop, head lights, speedhut gauge, vinills.

Since you completed the tail light project you should sell your stockers. Those stockers aren't common here in the states.

I think he ment some people in America would kill to have such rare tail lights.

With the GM S-Series trucks we have rare lights from Brazil that people would kill to get their hands on and are worth a very nice price if found.
