Going for All show or All go?
I'm personally going for all show. I was going to go for a super-fast car, but I realized that it was unrealistic and that I liked people to see my car rather than see me speeding off. Plus I dont need any tickets. So, now I'm re-doing my whole audio system, and my newest project (pics coming soon) is nearing completion.

I would love to have my GA be fast,but it just takes too much money IMO to do it so I will just keep trying to make it look better.

pretty Much! I suppose if i wanted to run with them I would get the S/c, or probably turbo seeing its cheaper anywaz. You can always get a banner that say "All Show-No GO"!! So what do u think i should do go all Show?
All show would be: more then likely the sc/t kit or slim chance *** kit Audio System of some type other add on's $2000 All Go Header's S/c or turbo Chip God only know what else. $6000 UMM Now which one?!?! I need you guys to keep pressing me on the ALL show. I have it in my head that i should just sell it and get rid of it and live at home for ever. I look at semi fast car's and which i could afford them. But then i ask Wonder if they still live at home? Work 2 Jobs, Have no Live? Or sometime you pull up and it a 55 yr old going throught midlife crisses (Sorry no offense)to anyone.

Hoping maybe i can get more money for it. Maybe not trade it but sell it privately. yea thats me. but i had them put on already. on monday actually. Plus every where i go i see a grand am. I see old people driving around with ram air hoods and chromtechs. just last week i saw this black grand am with chrome spinners on it. I liked it when i was the only one modding a grand am.

Yea i know, you wont get much more for it unless you find some dumb ass or part it out. Sometimes i think you can make more with parting out. that is if you put quailty into to begin with you know. IF you do get rid of it keep me in mine if you part it out. be more then happy to take some of that off your hands. plus no Shipping needed, seeing you live in the area

 I alternate between show and go. Add one appearance modification, add one performance, one appearance, one performance. I like making the car look nicer, but after awhile i get too used to the power and need something faster.

i plan on going with the "all paid off" look. the $3,000+ i've dropped into it so far might be coming off in the spring if i can find a good deal on a nice summer car (right now it's between a 00' stage 2 roush mustang or a TT 300zx)

im going for the "all bump" in the trunk and improving the overall ride, with handling, breaking, and some but not many engine upgrades/mods
my trunk will be all bump and all show because i plan on winning some contests for looks and sound, but im not gonna paint my interior or anything i cant undo, and body work is too expensive |
