I haven't really worked on it, just because University + free spending m oney never go hand in hand :(. I'm ordering a few things though from GrafxWerks which I'll place the order next week once finals are done.

This is really the only addition I've done to my car, which I am really happy about. Gotta love when you're driving down the road and the car beside you looks at you and tells you to turn up the music (or was it turn down... I often get those confused :P)

What I really want to do the entire SC/T conversion (minus the actual supercharger).

The body kit and hood will be the most costly, but my friend has the SC/T spoiler so I think we're just gonna swap the spoilers (he hates the fact that it kinda resembles a wing).

Nice looking car :)

SC/t kit for the win. I did the entire body kit, hood, and replica spoiler (from SportWing)


I love the look of the SC/t kit. I just wish I could lower my car, then it would really look nice.

I don't know if you already know this or not, but you will most likely run in to a problem with the back fascia piece for the kit, there are a few threads where people have discussed it.

Yeah I love the look of the SC/T as well. The only problem besides the money is how far it sits off the ground with the stock rims.

I don't have the money for a winter beater, and there is a lot of snow in Winnipeg from Nov - February. Though does the front Bumper part go on and off easy? Because that would make it a lot better for me.

What? alt whine...?

lol I don't know what that is, so I wouldn't know what it sounds like. I can only hear the bass, so I guess I don't get any whine.

Though my CD player is on the fritz today. Keep hearing a clicking sound from the loader and tried a dozen different CD. Guess i'll get the dealership to see whats wrong with it.

The production SC/T was just appearance only.

Only the concept was supercharged.

nice clean ride, looks good from here.

Yeah, the only real reason why it's soo clean is because I work at the Chamois (full service car wash) and I have access to everything there: Vaccums, Power Polisher, Wax, basically the whole 9 yards... plus it is free for me :D

me tooo... so did you just recently graduate? there are a couple other grand ams at OP now but i dont think anyone really cares o_Ohah

I graduated in 2005. Been a while since i've acutally been in the school, haha.

My Grand Am is never up at OP anymore just because I don't trust the school parking lot. Hell, my brother has taken my mom's Saturn to Oak Park and the car has a shit load of scratches and shit on it.

Once in a blue moon my brother will take the Grand Am up to school, but most times I have it for work or school. If you ever see my car up there, usually i'm there driving it and picking up my brother or dropping stuff off.

Different? I hope you mean different in a good way, lol. If it is the differences in colour its because of the lighting it the garage where the interior shots were taken.

I'll definately be at Advance this sunday. I hope other people show up.

Yeah the tan looking one, most of the ones I have seen are grey. Nothing wrong with that though.
