01 Grand Am Black and Gold SE

04-02-2007, 08:27 PM

Ok guys so here's my car...I haven't put any pics up in a while and the mods have changed a bit:
My Mods are as follows:
Cold Air Intake (3 Piece)
SLP Cat-Back Exhaust
DHP PCM
Gatorback Pulley (I guess it's aftermarket...)
2004 Grand Am GT Engine (less then 1,000 miles on it)
Seat Covers
Black Carpet
Painted Dash and Interior
Racing Stripes
R1 Concept Rotors

cant say im feeling the interior at all, but definately tint those tails and reverses.

KeyserSosa2000 · 04-02-2007, 08:43 PM

The black dash is cool but I bet the painted accents would get distracting. I think the stripes would look better if they went down the trunk too.

I suprizingly like the colour of the stripes...cool.

Bryan · 04-02-2007, 08:56 PM

Not my favorite color scheme and those wheels gotta go IMO.

It's nice to see some performance mods before a lot of the appearance ones though..wish I woulda done that.

cant say im a fan of the stripes, especially since they arent on the trunk. kudos for doing something custom with your interior. and there is nothing GT about your engine.

but way to do your own thing

I assume he said that to distinguish his GA SE with the 3.4L V6 from the GA SE with the 4 banger in it. Technically, it is the GT motor.

Rich · 04-02-2007, 10:33 PM

technically, its just the V6. but im sure he said that because he got it from a GT.

Guys, I am well aware the engine that I got from a Grand Am GT is identical to the SE engine; I was merely clarifying that it came out of a GT.

Thanks for the feedback, I'd tint the tails but the only thing is that I'm pretty sure they're illegal (I have to check my local laws again); and I don't have the kind of money to be getting tickets for tails; though I will admit it I think it'd look really sweet.

As far as the interior; next time I clean it out I'll get another shot; it's pretty dirty right now and it does look better when clean.

Thanks for all the feedback guys...keep it coming!

Good question, the only thing is I am so low on money right now (-$4000) that it will take me a little while to get out of debt. See the thing is I don't mind doing cheap mods like tinting the tails but nothing major for a while. One of the things that I was playing around with a long while ago was painting my wheels black until I got the money to upgrade; but I figured they would look a lot like they were steelies at first glance. If you guys have an recommendation in this area let me know.

ancona46 · 04-04-2007, 03:02 PM

are u a saints fan? j/k

need to put the stripes down the trunk then it will look better and is that overspray on the door panel... tsk tsk

timberwoof · 04-04-2007, 04:18 PM

The rims are horendous. I know I have them.

MysteriousGT1 · 04-04-2007, 04:26 PM

looks good...love the color combo, but definatly finish the stripes...you will get more Good feedback with it finished!

here is my old one...the stripes were Vinyl and done by me "Trunk and the bumpers were a pain in the arse but its worth the effort...!

GrandAmGT1996 · 04-04-2007, 05:09 PM

Yep, I still have to go back and finish that one up w/ the overspray; just have go to buy another brush and do it; maybe I'll do it friday. As for the trunk you're right I should really get it done; the thing is I don't quite have enough vinyl left and I'm going to put it off just a little long. I'm pretty sure I would continue it down the whole car; the look of it is cool but I honestly like it ending at the trunk and hood better. Thanks for the feedback guys; I appreciate it...keep it coming!

Jake · 04-05-2007, 01:22 AM

do it all the way down the car!!!! The itnerior is interesting, I dont hate it, but I dont love it. I think the outside will look good if u continue the stripes and lower it with some rims.

EDIT : Also, tinted tails

RAZE · 04-05-2007, 07:53 AM

next mod should be carpet shampooing.
