Hello, I am new here (just got my account acivated today) and thought I'd post some pics of my car. I have only owned it a week and a half.

It's actually my first car, but I have been in love with Grand Ams since I was very young, and when I went shopping for my first car, the only one that would do was a Grand Am.

I plan on modding this car quite alot, so far I have installed a K&N air filter, some leather seat covers, and am installing a new CD deck tonight. Tinted windows were on the car when I bought it.

I have LOTS of questions about what to do, and what not to, when it comes to modding. So hopefully some of you can help me out with that.

I'm glad to be a part of this group, I look foreward to seeing alot of cool rides!

Anyways, this is my 2003 Grand Am SE1.

Elderas,

Honestly I am not sure what I used, I don't think it was that though. I got them at Advanced Auto Parts, they were only like $22 a peice. My parents threw away the box -_-.I took a quick picture of my interior so far, it's not a great shot since I used flash and it's an awkward angle.

GTSpeeder,

I actually made a mistake in my post, the car was purchased with tinted windows, I didn't have them installed myself. I was erasing and redoing my post and must have erased that part.

JBlack16,

I believe it is 25% front side windows, 15-10% back side windows, not positive. They look extremely dark in my picture because my car reflects ALOT of light and my camera adjusted, the windows do look pitch black and I wish they were. The tint still looks very strong though.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments, and warm welcome.

As I stated I was getting a new CD Deck installed tonight, and here's the picture. I had to manually set the exposer and aperture to get the picture even close to good quality. I took it as dark as I could to show off the nice red lights that match my whole dash. Unfortunately, my camera refused to take a picture including my whole dash, for a few reasons, so it's just the deck here. It's an Alpine deck.
