love the ride. i always have been a fan of custom rides as well. It takes alot of pride and love when doing this, which most do not have. Most wants things to be done in a certain way, i call them sheeps. keep it up and make it how you invision it to be. You dont win a car show by thinking inside the box. welcome to the forum

Not really my taste, but still a nice ride! I like the wheels, personally would like to see a different spoiler on the back but to each his own. Are you planning any engine mods for the future, or just keeping it as is?

thanks, cant say the spoiler is my favorite but it was the best crazy ricer spoiler i could find at the time. it is currently being hooked up with a super charger so yes i do plan on more engine mods as time goes on

That's cool! Milzy offers some good engine upgrades you should take a look at, I bought a cam from him and it definitely helped give my car some extra power.

What kind of supercharger are you hooking up to it? I've been thinking of either supercharge or turbocharging my car once I have some money set aside

"Crazy ricer spoiler I could find". I hope you know that Rice isn't a compliment, it's actually a really degrading term. I guess some people are just fine with degrading cars and happy to have a "Rice" car.

The car has a very nice stance; I'm not sure where anyone's seeing excessive wheel gap, but hey, what do I know?

Are the graphics painted or vinyl? To me, the design is really close to looking great, but it's just a little too vertical and leaves too much open space on the front fender. I also think a stock or lower profile spoiler would GREATLY increase the appearance.

Any future plans in mind?

the graphics are custom airbrushed with chameleon (or color changing) paint so that wont be getting changed anytime soon, besides a supercharger im getting a new set of rims and tires soon

You cant use a Grand Prix supercharger on a Grand Am, just won't work. The Grand Prix using a 90 degree 3800 engine while he grand am uses a 3400 LA1 60 degree engine or a 2.4L.

The Grand Prix has similar Pontiac design but mechanically the Grand Am AAnd Grand Prix are very different cars. Really the only similarity mechanically that they share is that both are cars FWD.

its possible with forged internals on a complete rebuilt 3400

As far as I know, that's false. Unless you're planning on doing a complete 3800 swap, I don't see it working...

As for the car itself, I've seen worse, for sure. But I've seen better too. I think your car would look better without a spoiler all together. The tails look a bit off (the chrome kind of pops too much) perhaps a light coat of tint on them could fix that problem?

And as far as wheel gap? He drives a Grand Am, not a Civic. Let them guys keep that "stance" crap to themselves. Unless we're looking at two different sets of pictures, I don't see this large wheel gap you're seeing.

I tried being respectful. that didn't work. he took an aggressive stance, and then i did. thats fine, it can work both ways. don't get all butthurt over a conversation you were never even a part of.

And yes, wheel gap. but not between the fender and the wheel, but bumper to bumper. there is so much space there I can fit a midget in the gap. so yes, the gap needs to be filled.

bumper to bumper? you have really got me confused now. im actually interested in this wheel gap issue as i could more than likely fix it would you mind explaining where the exact gap is?

and ill post a video of it running the with the supercharger hooked up in the summer when shes all ready

thanks for taking the time out of your day to provide feedback towards my vehicle i do actually appreciate it

Show me a 5th gen not on bags or 19's+ that doesn't have wheel gap. It's a notorious problem with them that usually can only be fixed with big wheels or air bags...

False. That is a M62 supercharger while the one the OP is looking to use is an M90. They're different.

From what I've read, it's certainly possible to put the M90 on, just depends on how much of a cowl in your hood you're willing to have since it's going to stick out of it.

I did not see where he took the aggressive stance first. I saw you give your opinion then he asked what you meant followed by you letting it all out just a bit more harsh to which he got a hair defensive (not offensive). From then on it was all you.....

Lolol @ "butthurt." Over something on the internet? By you?

Bumper to bumper gap? What does that even mean? But for me (and others) to find out, you'd have to post again and I...........
