ok...my dad says i cant do much to my car because he plans on selling it when i go away to college so i will just do some things to make it look a little nicer and upgrade the audio (my specialty). I was thinking about getting a banner that says Grand Am GT and then maybe a Pontiac dart on the back window. And probably getting some overlays from Grafxwerks. My question is...im planning on either going with a red or blue color scheme on my black gt. I was thinking of getting a Black banner with red or blue words. I know that will look good. But how would a blue or red dart look on the back window without having my windows tinted? Would it look stupid without tinted windows? anybody have a picture? Also how hard is it to install these banners...I looked at pepboys and it actually looked pretty difficult. Thanks everyone...sorry for all the newbie questions.

the banners are pretty simple, just a spray bottle with a soap/water mix, spray windsheild, spray sticky side of decal, apply, move to wher eyou want it, squeege out soap/water.
not sure about the dart though, i dont know if you would even be able to see it much.. but who knows. black and blue though, iceman might be upset! lol

Black and Blue looks bad a$$ thats just my unbiased oppinion lol I have a black GT same as yours (coupe?) i got reflective blue overlays it looks great, everyone does red on all kinds of cars i think blue is a bit more original you dont see it as much ya know? not sure on the window dart check out customgrandam.com hes got a picture of a dart on the rear window its in white but it might give you some kind of an idea. :thumbs:

They're not difficult to install as Papio mentioned. As for the rear window dart, ehh, I'm personally not a fan (hence the reason I don't offer them on GrafxWerks.Com). It would definitely look better on a tinted window (more contrast), but subtle can be good at times too!

im gonna try and get picks up cause i have nothing to show you, but i have a black ga with a big pontiac dart in the back and a same color solid banner in the front. looks good with the same color badge overlays and interior paint. really matches too surprisingly. i would think it looks better with tint. at least it does on my car. IMO.

yeah i would appreciate that. thanks alot everybody for your inputs. Grafxwerks, do you think you could make a black banner with your reflective blue Grand Am GT on it? Ill probably hold off on the dart. Also...if you think you can custom make me that banner....I will be looking to buy blue reflective dart for the front and overlays and maybe a couple other things. So maybe it would be worth the custom work :D . Also...maybe if i bought a lot you could cut me a package deal? haha....sorry...but all that stuff added up can get a little pricey for someone without a job. Let me know...and if they answer is yes to the banner...Ill contact you about putting an order in.

Yes vinyl looks good on cars as long as you do not go to far, but a window banner is a great way to add a custom touch. I think Pontiac on the front looks better than grand am, but it is what you like. Ipicked up a nice banner from ww.mobileimage.net and it is different and neat.

Good luck! But there is a lot you can do to the car that is subtle and can be removed when you sell her and used on another car or sold... Like a simply cone filter intake, a new cd player....
