Hey guys, waxed my car yesterday, took it out and took some shots today... Hope you enjoy. Grand Am of the Month! Who said GA cant burn out!

Nice car, but it needs to be lowered.

ndprunner22 · 07-30-2005, 11:00 PM

please! please vinyl ur headlights! i hate to see a car without that mod!
its a must!

magyver · 07-30-2005, 11:15 PM

nice, not a fan of chrome though, and that road is like ice, i grew up on a road like that, you could do a burnout w a friggin geo metro on that sheot.. LOL, its fun though, many many miles ive put on in about 20'.. LOL

shadesofnight · 07-31-2005, 08:54 AM

What ndprunner said... cover the ambers. Makes a huge difference IMO.

Not the biggest fan of that color, but it looks nice. I dont really care for those wheels either. I like chrome, I just dont like the design. Regardless, those are some real nice shots.

02andahalfgt · 07-31-2005, 10:29 AM

Very nice.

I've always loved that color, my SE was spruce green.

Ajaxus · 07-31-2005, 11:19 AM

same color as mine, lookin good.

Trancer · 07-31-2005, 02:57 PM

Intrax drop might come soon. Dallas roads suck so I dont know if I want to.

99GApunk · 07-31-2005, 04:47 PM

looks good to me, no need for the vinyl in my opinion

just slow down a bit, and enjoy all the neck-straining people will be doing looking at you driving by slowly.

Like I said on the other GA site, your GA looks great. That green is a rare color in my area but it looks awesome. Love the chrome wheels and Red brakes also.

Only do the mods you want to do. Just because someone says this mod is a must or that mod is a must doesn't mean you have to do it... just as long as your happy with your car. It wouldn't be cool if everyones car looked the same. Every car has to be unique, just like the person who owns it.

Personally i think your ride is already a head turner. I like what you've done so far. Keep up the good work.

Gramp's GT · 08-01-2005, 08:52 AM

Looks good. Same colour as mine and you too get the same special shine out of it. Mine is a 2000 and I still get stopped as asked the colour and how sharp it is.
The heavy metalic with chrome or black really sets off our colours. What kind of under body lights and nostril lights do you have?
GREEN FOR EVER!!

mr_eh · 08-01-2005, 09:13 AM

dont get the overlays, they dont match the color at all, i have the overlays somewhere and never bothered putting them on, instead i got `cf` covers

much neater imo and not a lot of people have them

Youre right, no one has to listen to anyone else. Then again, there is a reason why a lot of members here have the ambers covered up. The amber breaks up the cohesion of the car's color scheme in most cases, and just creates an eyesore. It would be the same scenario if you had painted your calipers purple or something, it just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Im not familiar with the vinyl as far as matching up with that color, but if it is anywhere close, I say go for it. If it doesnt match perfectly, only a sharp eye staring at a picture will catch it. If its like a neon green, go ahead and leave the ambers alone.

blackviper8891 · 08-01-2005, 03:23 PM

Nice GA. My 95 GT is that color. I must say, I never liked it until I had it. Now I love this color.

Trancer · 08-01-2005, 07:26 PM

How do you have a spruce metallic green on a 95? I thought they only used that color for like, 2-3 years.

Ahh yess but the person that owns the car will always notice, i for one notice little things aobut my car that irritate me constantly, like the fact that my mirrors aren't perfect black anymore, and that theyre not painted to match the color of my car, soo.

Niiicee car man i do like, im not a fan of green but that mettallic flake they put in the paint is freakin awesome, looks pretty decent.

notsoaveragej0e · 08-01-2005, 08:27 PM

maybe see what black amber covers look like.... there is no "fusion" vinyl, so i used black and it looks pretty good. I didnt read your sig, and im too lazy to scroll up, but if you have dark tinted windows it looks even better...

Nope, I'm completely sure that color was available on 95 Grand Ams. It may have been on 92-94s as well. It wasn't on 96-98s, though.

Well duh. Everyone knows the little imperfections of their car, but that doesnt mean you cant make a sharp looking car with those little quirks. Just my own opinion, but I think I have my car lookin' pretty descent, even though there are many little cosmetic imperfections I do my best to keep hidden.

Point is, the green being off a shade or two is still far more attractive than the amber reflectors stickin' out.
