My suggestions:

Fix that interior. The badges on the dash, the red panels and the horrific seat covers will only get you laughed at.

Stripes: the hood stripes and GS stripes clash, it's too busy and just looks bad. Go with one or the other. If you stick with GS stripes, keep them on the driver's side only.

Headlights: I know from personal experience, those projectors SUCK. Cheap quality, cheap fitment...save up for a set of normal housings and do a real HID Projector retrofit.

Those wheels are awful, 16" just doesn't look good on these cars. Minimum, 17"s look right with the right wheel design, 18"s look fantastic. Also: offset makes everything with a nice set of wheels. Sunken in wheels look bad.

Guess I'll post and stop lurking for now. First pic kinda sucks because the stripes were wet

I'll be honest, I like absolutely nothing about this. But your car, not mine.

Drove up to stl to visit the parents. A deer was hit by a truck in front of me and showered my truck in blood and guts, was pretty ****ing awesome. Cleaned her up this morning and looks like new. Debating wether to have the bumpers, handles and grill wrapped white, or to get a bed cover.

Wrap all the chrome in white.

sleepyalero 04-19-2014 11:45 AM

Why didn't you take a pic of the blood??

I want the chrome white, and the slats on the grill black. Wheels....undecided just yet. Maybe one day get black housing headlights and a set of wheels for truck that are black. Who knows, it's a long ways away.

Most was underneath it. Couldn't get a good picture of the nasty stuff.

I was gonna suggest something similar. I'd wrap the door handles white 'cause chrome door handles stand out too much IMO. I'd leave the bumpers and the main cross section and perimeter of the grill alone but I'd get the thinner slats in the grill (in the four quadrants) wrapped in black, and get some black housing headlights. That would look sweet.

tipnitty 04-19-2014 12:27 PM

Definitely want white handles and the black slats. There is almost a bit too much chrome in the front. The black slats would flow really well. I'm not a fan of the chrome handles, but I also don't hate it yet. We shall see what the future has in store.

sleepyalero 04-19-2014 12:39 PM

All white trucks look awesome. I vote all white.

I am a little upset because I used carpet cleaner and scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubber then I pressure washed them and they still didn't come out that clean. But I guess it is a lot better then what I started with.

99ga 04-19-2014 11:58 PM

When i first bought those projectors, like a month later one LED bulb went out, then a halo, then all halos, the ones i have now look better IMO and i've been having them for over a year with no problem. Not a big fan of the look but to each their own.
BTW isn't Tinley Park about 30mins from chicago?

Blasphemy. There's no such thing as too many red cars (I have 2 and am thinking of painting a third red).

Red cars are usually fast...too bad red doesn't add horsepower in the Grand Am's case.
