theres a thread showing most peoples view on the kit. im pretty sure most of this site doesnt like it. but it IS your car and you can do what you want to it.

the *** kit? it wouldnt be any harder than putting it on a SE. it replaces your bumpers just like most other body kits. it may take some extra work to fit perfectly but i guess thats to be expected. maybe i dont understand what youre saying.

Yeah, there's only like 5-6 that we know of... not enough. :rolleyes:


IMO there's really only two choices to go with. RKsport or SC/T.

IMO full body kits are for cars that aernt nice to begin with. You need to replace the bumpers because the factory ones suck. This is not true of the GA, it has pretty nice bumpers. So, the only kit should be a lip kit. Something like a razzi or SC/T where it just adds onto the bottom, making it lower and sportier. If youre starting with a nice car, why replace whats already good?

And yeah, im aware razzi doesnt make a kit for the 99+ i was just using that as an example of a lip kit.

I'm going to agree with Rich and coupe...*** or sc/t. sc/t being my first choice, *** being my second.

my choice of body kit is pretty obvious, but to each their own. The sc/t ground effects are nice too. subtle.

but dang I just realized how many kits there are out there for us...

***
sc/t
rksport
andy's
hot bodiez
that "vader" kit
the "walker" kit
the "boss" kit

I personally would only choose the RK or SC/T. The other body kits IMO are made very cheap. (Except for the ***) Here is a link to my car if you want to see more of the RK Kit. With out front diffuser

I think the only place you can get the RK kit is rksport.com


Order I think the kits go in for how nice they look on the GA, is SC/T, RK, ***. Other than those 3 I don't really care for the others. Those are really the only ones that flow decently with the car.

I have the SC/T on mine.

Thanks allot man. Ya that’s a RSM Carbon Fiber hood and a Wings West carbon fiber front diffuser. Mongoose is right you can only get the rk kit from rksport.com. Or you can just hold off on buying the kit and check ebay religiously for the kit. That’s what I did and only spent $800 shipped instead of paying $1200 + shipping from rk's website. That’s the same reason I love the RK kit makes the car look completely different

There's a white sedan in Canada with the SC/T. One of the best looking IMO.

And I'm with Aaron. SC/T, RK or none. Why make a good looking car look so much cheaper.

Closer to the truth than you know. I just had my car in a show and I overheard a lot of people going by saying "is that a grand prix?" or even more often "dang, thats a GTO front end". lol None of them had any idea it was just a body kit and few stopped to ask me.


And yeah, that white car with the SC/T looks sweet.

Hell i dont have a body kit and i get responses like "hey thats a nice mustang" and "hey thats a nice grand prix" and "hey thats a nice GTO". I get it all the time and it makes me so mad.

you can get the RK kit on Ebay now, but i don't know if it's the real deal or a knock off. It says Fiberglass on the description, but the real RK sport kit is made from urethane!
