my latest mod

caraudiodave · 03-18-2006, 08:09 PM

im still in the process of installing these. the passanger side is almost done, i need to space it out right so that it wont interfere with the door, but heres pics with it on.

*note: the rocker is not gonna be on until i finish adjusting the fender

what do you all think? you can be honest...ill p;ost pics in here when i get them completely finished tomorrow.

Lookin hella good

Woody87 · 03-18-2006, 08:18 PM

not bad, not bad

blake · 03-18-2006, 08:32 PM

ehh..not bad at all

want to see the finished product

especially from far away type of shot

rennation · 03-18-2006, 08:42 PM

not sure...if its gonna end up overlapping with the rocker its gonna look weird, kind of like glisteningwhite's did...unless by adjusting it you mean fixing that....

i do like those fenders though

badboy2451 · 03-18-2006, 09:06 PM

wow looks kickass on black

caraudiodave · 03-18-2006, 09:41 PM

thanks. yea it will overlap...theres no way of getting rid of that. i meant that i need to make sure the ribs on the door clear the fenders, which they dont right now.

thanks for all of the props. i thought they'd look pretty good in black.

2002GT · 03-18-2006, 10:29 PM

why would anyone want those? they are horrible looking. they overlap; it looks cheap.

dont get me wrong. your car is hella nice but bad move IMO.

x2. im curious though as to how they would look with a ribless GA say with an *** bodykit.

caraudiodave · 03-19-2006, 11:12 AM

well heres why i got them:
my drivers side fender was bent because my GT rib came loose and got caught on edge fo the fender. the paint started to chip off and rust was only a matter of time.

also, my passanger fender was all scratched up and paint was light from the factory.

i figured that getting a new factory fender + paint for both sides would cost about the same as these. i also knew that not many people have these yet. the overlap doesnt seem like itll bother me.

02andahalfgt · 03-19-2006, 12:34 PM

You've got a lot of custom work done to your car, maybe try to custom mod the skirts. Like cut it low/reshape it in the front so it doesn't overlap. They're good looking fenders, but need to be fully exposed to be appreciated.

ganut · 03-19-2006, 12:39 PM

after looking at those fenders more, I like the overlapping better than seeing how close the vent is to the wheel arch.

actually i agree. i also contemplated modding either hte fenders or the rockers, but they wouldnt look right. i think itll look ok when they overlap, er at least it wont bother me, which is most important.

Exactly

I think they look awesome. The black car defintly makes them stand out a lot more, props!

Metallman56 · 03-21-2006, 07:32 AM

to be honest i think body kits look dumb on the grand am, but those scoops look AWSOME! i really like it. and thats sayin something

freakydeaky · 03-21-2006, 07:34 AM

Lets hold off on the I hate this/love this until we can see more than just the front right hand side of the car.

I'm interested in seeing where this will go. Good start.

yea i think ill go back to slotted, maybe drilled too (if i can fond some that were cast that way). these stock style brembos lasted as long as my stock rotors before warping.

thanks. yea im still in the process of getting them to fit. i do not recommend these for someone to install themselves. ive got experience and they still suck on fitment. its not really the fenders, its the GT ribs on the doors that keeps catching.
