My car was painted Escalade Pearl White. Overcast day doesn't do that paint color justice.

Still don't like the tails though.

I knew it. I was right on.

Nice choice. I love that color.

orangish red GM likes to use on the SC/T

what it may have looked like back in 1957

GrandAmChick · 10-31-2003, 03:29 PM

maybe it's me, but it's kinda got a Grand Prix-ish wide body look to it..

but still

I do like it a lot.. how'd u end up covering the rear impact bar? Just black gutter guard stuff?

(n that's along the lines of what I was thinking of doing with my hood, less the center line, if I don't try to keep what I already got.)

Rba007 · 10-31-2003, 03:58 PM

SWEET!!! Those tails are really growing on me lately...

izayn · 10-31-2003, 04:02 PM

that yellow is tight

cavingman · 10-31-2003, 04:02 PM

my mom thinks the kit is cool

(now to convince her it's a good xmas present...)

mzrmatt · 10-31-2003, 04:40 PM

My dad told me he thought that kit would be awesome on my car.
That's a first. I was like "hey Dad can i borrow some money" he was like no. Damn

rlrayl11 · 10-31-2003, 10:42 PM

Can someone do a photochop of the darker silver of the Grand Ams with the chrome taillights. And also does anyone know where that rear impact bar went, or did it just get covered up in mesh.

Photochop, no. I've spent way too much time in photoshop, someone else can do it, or you can do it.

Yeah, they just covered up the impact thingy with mesh.

on light colored cars I would paint the impact bar black before you put the kit on just to help it not stand out so much under the mesh..........just an idea

I was thinking instead of putting gutter guard in there, mount a large piece of plexiglass, with some tint on it. Then, behind the plexi glass, strobe lights or something.....

that would be different.............the only thing is that it might be hard to keep the plexi looking good and clean...........definitly worth a shot though

kse73 · 11-01-2003, 10:49 AM

It definitely lets us use our creativity. I'd only end up putting in gutter guard though. Laziness is a b itch. Maybe some tinfoil....

kubiache · 11-01-2003, 06:49 PM

Wow, that yellow does look tight. I never would've imagined it looking that good.

EBlend · 11-03-2003, 02:27 PM

one thing that i don't like is..well first of all it is definately the tightest kit around, but my problem is not with the look of the kit but the UGLEE price difference between a 2 door and a 4 door version! WHY OH WHY is the 4 door wersion like 300 bucks more expensive?! I mean same amount of plastic used to make the 2 door as the 4 door. unfair in my opinion. only thing that is keeping me from getting that kit in the future is that i have to pay more to do it on a 4 door
