she's finally home

[lowrider2962]

well everyone shes finally home with a new paintjob. the GT conversion looks amazing and make it one of the rarest grand ams ever. how many people own a metallic red fire Grand Am SE with the GT bodykit, and ram air hood. along with the clear corner balck headlights and ecotec engine its an awesome car. anyways enough of me talking, ill let the car speak for itself.

The paint job looks great, got to love that fresh-paint feeling. Although, it's short-lived once the rock chips start coming :(

[Ralph]

needs rims but looks very nice if i ever do any more body work other then a hood it would be a gt conversion instead of a bodykit

[bballr4567]

Like I already told ya, it looks amazing. Take that pinstripe off ASAP, it ruins the whole flow you got goin. Two posts should of been a MUST. Tint should be great on that dark color.

Good job on finally getting it back.

[lowrider2962]

NOTE: all the stripping and rebuilding work was done at home by me. eventually ill make a thread that tells the whole story in detail.

[car audio dave]

car looks great but it DOES need rims now. its understandable that youre young and that might be expensive. it looks like it would be a great SCT concept replica.

[b_e_l_l_a]

looks sharp... love that hood

[Big Joe]

I dont think anyone said it yet so ill go ahead and say it, you should get rims :lol: Seriously, the car looks great. Love that color.

[ManktheTank19]

Damn that looks great.

you just need the sc/t kit, tint, rims, double post mirrors :)

[lowrider2962]

well next on the list is a full exhaust system rebuild. everything from the engine back for $550. that includes a pacesetter header. after that who nos wat will happen.

[Shadow-D]

That is one sharp looking car & rims would look nice. The pinstripe looks fine to me. I would love to see the "how you did it" thread

['96GAGT]

IM really liking that, Rays or Rayz here on the boards has an SE the same color you should check out the wheels he has.

[PontiacGT201]

looks good but like everyone said needs rims

[02SilverGT]

rims, painted dual posts, and itll look magnifisant

still looks great tho

[RazorDX]

Nice car, I like the conversion.

[wiseojelly]

Looks good. I like my pin stripe...

[Bouchie11982]

car looks good!!! but um yea rims....

[lowrider2962]

rims, rims, rims, rims, mirrors, mirrors ,mirrors, mirrors......gees guys im sry but my money tree died when i was 2. lol. it may happen eventually but its gonna be a while.

[bballr4567]

I hear you have great legs and a pruddy mouth. ;)

[RedFireUFO]

car looks killer.. I always loved redfire metallic :)

[Matt95GT]

The color looks good with the GT parts. As everyone said... wheels. The hub caps no longer cut it.

Other than that, if it were my car...
-Install the black molding stripe into the sides and fascias.
-Lose the pin stripe
-It doesn't look too bad actually, but could cover the tell-tale SE chrome stripes around the windows.

[lowrider2962]

You've come a long way in a short time. Keep saving your cash and looking for deals. Around tuition time, there are deals on wheels.

Don't let anyone wreak you again.

[Jaimerz]

looks great! i really like how well the GT tails go with the color of the car, too :D

[Bouchie11982]

1,2,3,9,12,13 i like!

[RedFireUFO]

:drool: wheels or not, very nice!

[King Justice]

You need rims badly! :D I like the paint job though, lookin' nice! And what's so different about the GT bodykit? I don't see any real difference in your car's bodykit compared to my 05 SE. =\

[GtAudioFreak]

The GT kit is way different than your SE kit King Justice. I like the car, and i really love that your car is definitely different cuz of the color, and I agree with everyone else, but I'd also like to point out you need a SC/T spoiler also. You can get one for like $100.

[lowrider2962]

well here ya go. ill let u decide the difference urself and lemme no wich car u would like more.

AFTER:
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e140/lworider2962/IMG_0085.jpg



i choose after.....definitely

[JMILLS]

I think the color throws the look off for the GT, which is a good thing, makes you unique. I won't even mention what you know needs to be done, but I will say I agree with removing the pinstripe and changing to dual-post.

[Brad M]

Nice ride man, cant wait to see some rims or possibly some tint.

[IllizitGA]

so i can actually change my grand am se body to a gt one?
is this possible........ great

[Nighthawk243]

Yes. Pretty much bolt up.

[lowrider2962]

yup... it just bolts right on. the side panels are taped up and the side skirts actually have a plastic fastener they use. so it all just pretty much snaps on, sticks on, or bolts on.

[IllizitGA]

How much did you pay for the back/front bumpers + sideskirts + pannels + paint = $??????

[GMFWDFAN]

SWEET! I love that color, and it's 10x better as a GT! :)
