Pics of my new 04 GT1 SC/T

Goldswing · 01-04-2004, 05:51 PM

I just got my new Grand Am on Friday and I love it! Yesterday was so nice that I had to take some pictures. I am getting my windows tinted on Wednesday and I've decied on either 15% or 20% I'm leaning toward 15% to make the car appear really dark. Any opinions are welcome. I will post more pics after Wednesday. You can also visit my CarDomain site for some some color commentary Here

::Ant leaves for Maryland::

tommarow night-

::goldswing hears strange noises outside, near his car, including a "ow! stupid steering wheel"::

next morning-

::goldswing finds a 2003 factory monsoon deck in his car, with a useless tape player, instead of his 2004 mp3 deck. goldswing scratches head::

::Ant enjoys his factory mp3 deck that somehow myseriously appeared in his car.....::

looks good. Any mods planned?

It might be a litte bit before anything big because I spent all my money on the car, but for right now I ordered hyperwhite lights for the the headlight, turn signal, daytime running, and parking light. I also want to getthe mesh grille kit. I have a bangin 12w6v2 JL Audio sub sitting in my basement wasting away and all I need is a good amp to power it.

Get 12% tint, 20% is not very dark on a Grand Am, thats what i had on mine, and i hated it, i could see right through it during the day, i like dark windows during the day, it gives your car a classy look... id go12%...if you really want to be dark do 5%..thats what i have on my Explorer Now, its pretty sweet... except 4 when your backing out of your friends driveway at 2 in the morning

gagt2k3 · 01-11-2004, 03:18 PM

15% looks great

2003GAGT · 01-11-2004, 05:11 PM

I've got 5% all the way around....sure is nice when it's 100 degrees and sunny....

tonmarchelli · 01-25-2004, 06:40 PM

whats the difference between tint percentages. im still not sure

airee85 · 01-27-2004, 09:03 AM

I'm pretty sure the lower you go, the darker it is. I was looking in to getting some tint for my car, but I live in a small city and the cops are picky about car mods and there is a limit on how dark you can go, which I think is like 20 or 30, which doesn't even seem worth it then.

PACE · 01-27-2004, 09:09 AM

Tint percentages are the % of light allowed into the car......IMO 20% is pretty dark, especially if you are doing all 5 windows (coupe) and a stripe on the windshield.....

This spring I'm going with 20% and hoping that it's not too dark.....The only way I'd go darker is if I lived in FL or AZ or something.

2003GAGT · 01-27-2004, 09:35 AM

IMO if you tint your windows, go as dark as possible. Cops will pull you over for having any tint on the side windows in most areas....so you might as well go all out.

02PONtiac! · 01-27-2004, 09:35 AM

I have 20% all around with a 5% strip on the front window. Hopefully this can give you an idea.

2003GAGT · 01-27-2004, 09:39 AM

5%

Kdawg207 · 01-27-2004, 10:06 AM

I have had dark tint all around on all of the 5 cars i have owned...not once pulled over for it....and this is Jersey...cops love writin tickets

resevil83 · 01-27-2004, 12:08 PM

02 pontiac theres no way those are eibach springs... are they? Did you switch the front springs and the rear springs... What I mean is take the eibach rear springs and put them up front and vise versa. Because if you did that looks awesome. And I wonder if it is ok to do that. Suspension gurus? Is it ok to do that on se's and gt's? It also may be the 18 inch wheels fill in the wheel gap big time. Well your car in my opinion looks great. I love the way it looks. Do eibach only make sport springs for our car or do they have some other brand that you may have gotten?

2kramairGT · 01-27-2004, 12:41 PM

Im not a suspension guru, but I have just installed H&R springs and KYB struts on my own. I do not think that switching front to back springs could possibly work. They are completely different shapes and sizes. Im basing this on the appearence of stock springs and the appearance of H&R springs. NOT A GOOD IDEA. If it was done the front would handle like crap cause of the way the rear springs are designed. Also the spring would not sit right on the front strut.

I dont know why I said all this, Im so bor ed.....
