So far, so good :D

What else you got planned (if anything)?

[XtremeGrandAm]

Looking good!
Moding you car isn't about how much you spend, it's about personalizing it. :D

Keep up the good work!

[97 grand am gt]

sweet i like the underbody kit i am looking to put one on my gagt soon where did u get yours i am looking for the same color my car is midnite blue

[JMILLS]

The kit is a Liteglow, I got it from a friend of a friend of a friend who saw it "fall off the truck".

[litdevil316]

it "fell off" ? dont worry, we believe ya... lol:agree:

[JMILLS]

Actually I have no clue where is came from, but the guy who sold it to me charged me $30, cause he was too lazy to put it on. So, I can't complain.

[JMILLS]

Got my new AEM intake in today! Not too shabby for only $125.

Here is the car with the new Green-Silver Mirage Mirrors and Grill. Also with the "PONTIAC" Windshield Banner and Arrowhead hood emblem.

Hook me up with low-cost suggestions.

[Corey96SE]

I just don't like the interior vinyl.. it's green.. wtf?

Love the underbodies though.. damn bright. :cool:

[JMILLS]

I had an idea to re-do the interior black. Dye the vinyl, replace the caperting and get seat covers of some sort. But I havent decided yet.

no wonder you have very few mods done to your car. :roll2:


Learn about paint and applications.


its called vinyl dye, it dries and becomes flexible/bendable with the vinyll...it does NOT crack or chip or flake off, its like recovering the door pretty much.

[JMILLS]

I dont think I will go with white. Just because I would ruin it (Daily Driver). But yeah, I like the vinyl dye... and I am not affraid "Umm.. paint vinyl? Sounds bad."

[Jordus]

mines a daily driver too.....and i know of another guy who did the same method and is DD, he said his never gets dirty.

[Corey96SE]

Bastards... :P

I'm just not touching the interior. If I was, I'd know about it.

[VanishingImage]

I agree with Jordus the vinyl dye stuff works great,a couple friends that have their imports done(not riced out,they are show cars) have used the vinyl dye stuff and over a years time no cracks,no fading,no damage at all.Im gonna use some of it myself cuz i hate the greenish interior in my 97.

[Corey96SE]

My bro has a green 97, but has the grey interior my car does. :explode:
