looks sharp. By looking at your pics, I noticed for the first time that the side rockers look like a backward version of the sc/t rockers. by that, I mean the sides flare out in the front for the AAS and the sides flare out in the back for the sc/t.

Looks good... Could someone photoshop some rims on that ride?

Is it just me or does that paint not match?

Looks good, it'll definately look better with some bigger rims though.

I see it too, but were looking to hard! lol. I paint for a living, so I notice these things. otherwise, I'm sure It's hardly noticable unless you stare at it trying to see it.

The paint matches to the eye pretty good. It's just reflecting alitting different in the photo is all ;)
Plus it's fresh so there's no wax on it yet.

I do need some rims but that won't be in the budget for a long time :( Even if i can find some used ones. Next I think I'll do the windows.

Yeah some of the pieces don't look too comfortable on the car. What's that black line on the car btw? The kit looks alright, I can't seem to like it whatsoever, but glad you are happy with it!

I'm not a big fan of the kit, but looks good. I agree, def. tint those windows. Rims, drop, yeah of course when u get the $$.

In the meantime, since u don't have stock spoiler, I'd look into getting something for back there, like Razzi maybe, n u won't even have to worry about filling the stock holes n repainting the trunk. It'd kinda balance the whole kit out. :)

the paint on the kit is not the same color as the car, it's brighter. The kit has the distinct look of being plastic. It looks like it wasn't painted, but instead is just shiny white plastic.

Not trying to knit pick but it's not just an optical illusion in the photo or something only artists would notice. I think if the pinstripe continued into the front it would help make it look more like a part of the car ... but it may be that it's just too big to pull it off.
It almost works ... was it made for a different year or model grand am? And sedans dont really look good with rear spoilers, I wouldn't recommend getting it. New wheels would make a world of difference though :)

After i tint the windows, I need to get a second car! hehe Don't want to drive this one in the winter now, plus i can save up over the winter to do more with it next year. Definatly needs rims, and I plan to get the razzi wing eventually.

Like its been said before:

If you can't get specific as to why you're giving good or bad criticism and the specifics aren't just something subjective then no, you shouldn't be posting your comment. That's in the rules.

Good responses with no reason are just as useless as bad responses to someone who wants to know what people think about their car.

What would be rude is if someone posted a picture of a car with some defect that you saw but he/she didn't but people either didn't respond or responded with a "Looks Nice" instead of the truth. I think what I've posted and what some other people were pointing out before me are right on target and a service to babyklr because we'd rather see him with a car that looked the way he intended it to look. I still think what i posted is true and he's not the one mis-understanding the point of the post so it's time to get back to the topic.

Funny... I didn't see that in the forum rules =)

If it's posted, but doesn't help this forum be a better place for people to learn and like to browse, then it doesn't belong.

That said, I like the look of the kit. I'm not sure, but it just looks like it needs something to help break up all the white a little. This is the first kit front end that my wife actually likes, which says something (not sure what, but it's something). I'd love to see this kit on a dark colored car (like mine, if I had the cash).

AAS was really lazy when they adapted that kit to the GA. The front/rear fascias slope to the ground and don't line up with the sides, and the side skirts need a flare at each end to match the flare of the wheel wells. Its not a bad looking kit overall, but they really need to re-tool it slightly to flow better.

Definitely get yourself a winter beater though, no need to mess up a nice custom GA!

You definately need to go with at least 18s. I recommend 19's if you got the cash. I have the kit, and it made my 18s look smaller, especially in the rear.

I don't like how the front and rear bumper stick out so far when looking at it from the side. Besides that, I guess it looks ok. Not bad.

Hummm that's funny, I don't really think that's how it works. I just looked up the rules and here's what I found "Basically it boils down to: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." I'm sure this guy is looking for positive feed backs and not something like "I don't like it" So where has it been said before? about the "Can't accept criticism? Don't post pictures" Go find in the rules where it says that. The #1 rule is if you can't say something nice don't say it.

Back to the topic. I like the kit, personally I would add some 18" wheels

I just didn't like the way one guy said "Just look at the kit & the car" or something to that effect & then added a laughing smiley. Very rude. A simple not my taste would have nicely done it.
