Well have you read about ***'s customer service and how they treat people? If you read that you would quickly change your mind about ***. I vote for SC/T kit as well. :thumbs:

If you want the best looking kit you go with ***.

In reality if its about looks then its personal preference. Some like aas some like *** some like sc/t....so really its up to you in the end.

first of all.... dont let a few people turn you away from *** because they had bad experiences. most of them havent ever even dealt with them. there are hundreds of more than satisfied customers for every one unsatisfied customer.

The *** kit looks great and is of great quality, altho it has a big pricetag.

IMO the Andy kit looks like shat. And wasnt even made to flow with Grand Ams.

SCT is kew except it doesnt really change the look too much, just makes it look sleeker and lower.

So id say ***, or SCT if you like the look of your stock fascias but just wanna jazz it up.

Pucci

09-12-2003, 10:44 PM

Like everyone said, it is you to you which road to take. I have both AAS and *** on my ride. Andys front and *** sides and rear. Goober is kinda right. The AAS kit as a whole is a little bit much for my taste, and a few other people. The *** kit is a very nice kit. I chose the AAS front to have something a little different. My kit flows really nice as a mix match kit. The SCT has the advantage over both AAS and ***...it isnt fiberglass. Bendable and wont kit like fiberglass. It is a subtle change but still drastic. No matter what kit you choose, ALL three are good quality. The main thing is how big is your wallet for your taste. Also no matter which kit you get, MAKE SURE you slow down when going into some driveways and parking lots and other places that have a hell of an incline. Last thing you want is a $1000ish paintjob with your $700 to $1700 to get messed up due to not thinking about the road ahead. I have had my body kit with INTRAXX springs for about 6 months now and i have only scraped once and that was at the dragstrip in New York...damn mud, you sink every time.

And I was there to witness your ONLY scraping ever? Wow, I feel like i truly witnessed something special...almost like spotting an asteroid in space.

how good of a body man are you thats the question.....from what i have read....AAS dosent fit well at all.....*** fits good with a few tweaks here and there and the SC/T bolts on so i dont think that there woudl be to much uneven lines and what not......

Pucci

09-12-2003, 11:05 PM

The AAS fits just fine. I had to do alot of grinding with my *** sids. Nothing other than drill the holes for my AAS front.

Every piece of glass that comes out of a mold will never be the same.... The brand new *** front I saw last weekend had a big gap where it met the 1/4 panel, but the rear fit great. Everyone has diff experiences.

Regardless, that's why you have a good body man.. I don't think I've ever heard of any fiberglass kit fit perfect all around, any manufacturer...

I will say that the SC/T kit I helped install tho did fit like a glove.. absolutely perfect. I would expect that though with the resources ASC has at hand .

Sorry, I just have an itch with this comment. I don't think the *** kit flows well eitehr... I mean seriously, the kit is the exact same on the alero, and has the same look on all the other cars they make body kits for. Same with AAS, you'll find the same looking kit on a honda. At least the SC/T is designed for the grand am and no other car on the road will have a similar looking kit..

If you want to be different, AAS or *** is not the way to go.

i'll agree, mike's car looks great. i really like the the looks of this kit, but to me a body is made to change what the car looks like. it takes a person familiar with GA's to notice the sct kit (for the most part). i hope that i eventually get a body kiy on my car (if i have the money, it will be ***)

SilverEcstasy

09-13-2003, 12:05 AM

The SC/T kit is subtle. It isn't made to drop jaws and turn heads but only to enhance the look and lines of the body style. Thats basically what it comes down to.

You want subtle or outrageous

DumpsterDamon

09-13-2003, 12:10 AM

very true, and the sc/t kit wasn't made for me, i think it's because having a black car, it wont be noticeable. i'm much more a fan of the other two kits out there now, except for a poor kid like me the *** price is a swift kick to the balls.

I personally like the SC/T hood more than the others out there,but with my car being black I think it would blend in too much. On other colored cars it looks good as sh**. I also think the *** hood is sweet as hell too.

But the kit was originally made for the Grand Am. I didnt say it looked good on the other cars that they fit it to. I'm sure the andy's kit looked good on the car it was originally made for.

a drop in his front isn't a good idea, he and i live in the same city and i already cracked my stock fascia with H&R's (mainly because i know it will be replaced with an aftermarket front in the spring so i just don't care), but i do agree, givin the right conditions his car would look killer dropped. i honestly think that mike should go with a coilover setup so he can eliminate some of the wheel gap in the back but still be able have a car without a ****ed up front.

the chin spoiler on the SC/T looks completely out of place in my opinion. The rest of the kit is fine. I agree, if you aren't a hardcore GA enthusiast, you will never tell there is a kit with SC/T. *** is a rip off, AAS wasn't intended for a domestic. That leaves you with a nice stock everything. lol lol lol

He said he called "both" kits so I'm assuming he just called Andy's and ***'s..... not SC/T. BTW, why wont they release who makes it? You would think the makers would want the publicity.

I have the full *** kit and I am hiding on the H&R springs. I drive in canton and all over the detroit flint area and have not scraped the facia anywhere. you just can't drive like a dumbazz and you will be ok. ( I also drove this car from MI to AL and no problems!):thumbs:

Smoove, a majority of the time, damage occurs during driveways or business entrances. Roads arn't incredibly horrible, but you seriously never know what you're going to come across in this state.
