Goodbye GA Hello compass

[ancona46]

08 jeep compass rallye edition it doesnt have as many options as the ga but it was time for something bigger and i really liked the looks and how the jeep drives.....its not too far off from the ga when it comes to the black on black and my rims are going on it as long as they fit ok
before anyone says it the dealer plates and sticker is coming off and it needs tint it will be done soon with limo all around and tinted tails and corners

Very slick looking!

It's going to look great with the LED's and HID's in

[ManktheTank19]

That ride does look sweet - sorry to see the GA go :(

[Silver 4 door]

Love that thing man! should of got factory tint though. I like the all black look.

[ancona46]

im gonna get it tinted soon

[JBlack16]

Looks great! cant wait til the limo tint all around, you will make this thing look nice i bet, since u had a nice ga. sad to see it go but hey life goes on, everybody needs a differnt vehicle! Looks kinda smaller than the GA? or is it the pics?

oo and i forgot to mention BLACK FTW! Also keep us updated on the things u do to this! Another thing, why arent the windows tinted from the factory. I seen one here and they already were. But its good thing that their not so u get put limo in!

[car audio dave]

i dont doubt that this car will look bad ass once you do your work to it, but as it sits it looks exactly like a dodge caliber. that interior needs some work.

props for a nice new car tho. a fresh canvas.

[ancona46]

im gonna keep the inside stockfor now i think besides my tv's and neons

i think im gonna paint the calipers red like on the grand am too

im pretty sure the ones that have factor tint are the "limited" edition compass

[Silver 4 door]

a lady down the street has a red one and at first I didnt like the look, but it really grows on you. I really like the blacked out rims with it. best thing is you look down and see 32 miles! makes ya feel good.

[Classifieds]

Looks bad ass! I see you joined the forum also ;). My sister has the Patriot (same motor) and its a SLUG though :(

[ancona46]

yea but it never sent me an activation email so i cant login....it doesnt seem too slow....its alot quicker when i use the autostick to shift

[ancona46]

im gonna try to put my rims off the ga on there tommorow and see how it looks the tire size is off a little bit so i dunno how its gonna turn ot

[99GrandAMSE]

I actually have been looking at those and probably wiull end up getting one when the lease is up on my Dakota ... drove one this past Saturday but it was a 5-speed which is what I prefer and it wasn't too bad as far as power goes considering it is just a 2.4L ... is yours a FWD or 4x4?

[RedFireUFO]

Nice set of new wheels! I haven't been on here in awhile, what happened with the GA?

[Nitr0Racing21]

not my cup of tea

its fwd they had a 4wd but i dont need that i wont be driving it in the snow thats what my 93 honda is for lol

the grand am got traded in

[matts]

a FWD jeep? WTF??


and my opinion only maybe, but i'm not too crazy about it. reminds me of a caliber.

is this the 1st FWD jeep? i've never heard of one. cant say i recall ever seeing a 2wd jeep period....i'm probably wrong on that part though

[jackpot]

I think you'll be able to make that thing look really really sick n slick

I like how small it is and it looks a lot better than the caliber IMO, its similar in some ways but the jeep accents make it it's own

the interior looks nice, gives a good palate to work on, strange vehicle but I like it

peace

[TA^Guy]

Sorry to see your GA go, I thought it looked great on bags and blacked out. I've never been in a Compass but from the photos it looks like it has the same ultra cheap interior as all the other new Dodge products. I know we all dont stay with our GAs until death do we part, but IMO with crossovers holding a over welming share of production now I think a Compass would have been one of the last on my list. Sorry.

[Gagt518]

It sucks that the rims didnt fit that well!

Have any thoughts of rims?

[goredsox]

the exterior looks badass, i think the tint will really set it off, my black civic just got tint, and it looks wayyy better... The stock rims look really good, the exterior looks miles ahead of the fugly caliber, but the interior... well lets just say not as nice as the outside... and no cruise or power options... WTF!? stuff like that should come standard nowadays...

[matts]

the rims do fit but i dont like how they look...im gonna hold off for now on rims since the stockers are pretty nice i think

when i do get rims it will most likely be 20"s with a 5 spoke that are black with a chrome lip

and matts thanks for posting those smart ass comments, i didnt think i asked you or anyone if they liked it or not

dont worry how it looks and what it needs it will look just as good as my grand am did if not better soon

[RazorDX]

Very nice! I've had an eye on the Compass for a while.

The lifetime powertrain warranty is making Chrysler products look a bit more attractive these days.

[Gagt518]

Time for a new Sig!

[TA^Guy]

Hmmm funny I dont see where matts comments were being smart ass.
I also never heard of a FWD Jeep before, kind of redundant from a Automaker who brags about their vehicles and how "Trail Rated" they are.

[ancona46]

yea well thats because he edited his post and i still get the email with the original post he put up.....i dont care if its trail rated or not im not going off roading like a redneck.......your not driving it why does it matter?

[matts]

and matts thanks for posting those smart ass comments, i didnt think i asked you or anyone if they liked it or not

opinions are like *******s: everyone has one and they usually stink to everyone else

thank you, i didn't really mean it in a smartass way. but i think the only "trail" this one might be rated for is a grassy knoll or a gravel parking lot :lol:

yea well thats because he edited his post and i still get the email with the original post he put up.....i dont care if its trail rated or not im not going off roading like a redneck.......your not driving it why does it matter?

that's funny, only post i remember editing was my last one and that's because the pics i posted didn't show up, so i just deleted everything.

i love how everyone thinks that just because you go offroad you're all of a sudden a huge redneck. would you like me to say "oh well, i'm not gonna go out and play in the snow like those f**kin yankees"?? stop with the stupid ass stereotypes. if you can't come up with something better than that don't even bother posting.

you're right, i'm not driving it. but when you post pictures on the internet you can just go ahead and count on someone NOT liking what you post. get over it, who gives a shit what someone else thinks. if you like that "jeep" good for you. you're paying for it, i hope you like it. i wasn't even bashing the vehicle. not my taste, but hey i'm not paying for it. and then i said i've never heard of a FWD jeep. didn't know i was pissing in your cheerios with that comment.

if it makes you feel better and will help you sleep better tonight i'll say i'm sorry. i'm sorry

[ancona46]

instead of going on a big rant and being an ******* why not just decide to not even post in the first place?

i never said heres my new jeep how do you guys like it,some people asked what i got so i posted pics

[TA^Guy]

So why are you so upset if someone posted their opinion?

No one bashed you or flamed you, get over it already.

[GMFWDFAN]

I like it, but manual windows FTL.

I hate the regular base Compasses though.

[ancona46]

i agree 100% about the base compass...the manual windows dont bother me because i really dont drive that much let alone with the windows down

[RazorDX]

I love the manual windows in my Grand Am. It saves me from buying a window regulator every 3 months.

[TEAM_AED]

looks clean... nice car

[Atlas98]

I have to say I like it...nice and bold looking IMO

[JBlack16]

lets see those tint pics!

[ancona46]

ill take some tommorow

[Silver 4 door]

guy next door to me just traded in his 03 alero for a silver one on friday. They are really different, but I like them. Black looks the best I think. the silver isnt all that great of a color on them, but the red one I see all the time looks good.

[Wallflower]

as it sits it looks exactly like a dodge caliber.

Because it is a Caliber under the skin.

Hate the Compass period. Glad they are pulling the plug on it. Patriot is more in the lines of what Jeep is about.

[ancona46]

[JBlack16]

Loooking GREAT! already doing mods to it nice! I see u got the Cali Duster = a must for a black car. Nice. Im not sure if u already had plans but u should remove the dealer sticker u know, that they stick on the cars. Good work tho im diggin it!

[Gagt518]

She's coming along nicely! What next on the list? Debadge the Jeep?
The rims are actully really nice, i wouldnt worry about getting rims asap

[RazorDX]

The more I look at your car, the more I want one.

I don't know why everyone is complaining about the interior; I love it. It's simple and functional, not overly cluttered.

Since the Caliber was made as a SRT-4, can you get factory bolt-ons such as the turbocharger through Chrysler/Mopar?

[ancona46]

im not sure about turbo but i know the intakes and stuff fit

[_SHLEE_]

WOW that looks nice man! cant wait to see it with the tails

[GMFWDFAN]

That thing looks awesome. I love it. I hated all Compasses until I've seen yours. This is the only "Rallye" one I've seen, except one at a dealership I drove past at like 1:00 in the morning.

[ancona46]

i debadged the hood and removed the dealer sticker...i cant take off the jeep emblem on the back because there is a indent of jeep behind it so i will paint it black or something

[99blackSE]

What exactly does the Rallye package entail? I don't think I've seen it before. I like the rims though, must be nice to have a new car eh?

[ancona46]

the rims,body kit,and fog lights....nohing like the new car smell and having only 300 miles on the odometer

[04REDGT1]

It's funny how the public is so polarized on some of the new Jeeps. Can't say that I blame Jeep on getting into the market of compact SUV's. Look how many RAV4's, Sportages and Foresters are on the road. Lets face it, Jeep is just trying to survive with all it's competition now.

I have a 02 Liberty LE 4X4. When it came out, owner's heard the same bull 'it wasn't a real Jeep' because it had IFS instead of a solid axle like the Cherokee it replaced. It will pass in time. Enjoy the new Jeep.
