Your tails look nice.

Did you paint the PONTIAC letters on your bumper black? I can't really tell in the pic (my screen is also low res)

Probably Grafxwerks.com

99ga · 06-03-2014, 12:55 PM

YES! from there^

Shade2012 · 06-03-2014, 03:29 PM

Paint your chrome grills black. It'll match your theme overall much better.

99ga · 06-03-2014, 04:16 PM

I've thought about it..
but they might not even be noticeable tho?

1. Paint "GT" you have on there red and grills black
2. Buy a turbo
3. Install with intercooler
4. Profits

How much clearance do you have on the inside between tire and the strut? I'm wondering if a 18X9 +35 with 245/35/18 would fit (11mm less clearance if you have the +24) .

And...Could you post a picture directly from the front and directly from the back of the car. I can tell that they're flush with the top of the fenders, but hard to tell how much the wheel sticks out lower down by the bumpers with the angled pics. Thanks!

Might as well add one more question...what springs are you using?

This looks like the perfect wheel size for a GA.

Whatever you say. Lmao.

Anyway here's my car from the lot. Obviously not a sporty car but the mpg, and looking forward to a car that lasts me a long time. Ill probly get some hate on the car, but thats expected.

Insert car weed joke here. Lol

Also the dealership got the car about a half hour before i was looking at it so they hadn't washed it yet

TDavis · 06-03-2014, 07:56 PM

hub caps bleh.

I will never stand for anything other then the sport model of a car. Bases look completely hideous and cheap.

1. Sounds like a plan
2&3. Sct kit is up next before anything, plus i doubt i'd turbo this car, but then again, you never know

They are the 18x9 +24 offset, but you can also fit a 18x9 +30 with no problems since a member here had that same fitment ( on these wheels)
heres more info
SIZE: 18x9, OFFSET: +24 millimeters, BACKSPACE: 5.95 inch, CENTERBORE: 70.8 millimeters

Ill try to post those pics tomorrow if i dont forget

.. Wheels are flush just about the right amount, almost perfect IMO.
Im lowered on canuck springs with KYG GR2 struts and monroe mounts

Edit: I have enough Clearance beteween strut and wheel, nothing to worry about.

xUnderCoverHoBo · 06-03-2014, 10:22 PM

You can think its hideous and cheap. But i enjoy it so who cares

i dont really care that it has hubcaps to be honest

Finally I can agree with someone on this!! I also think base models look bad, especially with the black plasic door handles, hubcaps, and lack of commercial-boasted features.

Hobo - I do like the color. Graphite anything is pure hotness to me.

The guy buys reliable, reasonably priced and efficient transportation and gets negative comments? After all the posts about his immaturity? If it stays stock, it sounds like a reasonably solid decision to me.

Pontiac_guy99 · 06-04-2014, 12:23 PM

No negative comments. I just don't like base models. Regardless of make or model.

sleepyalero · 06-04-2014, 12:29 PM

everyone on GAGT is nit picky, NO ONE can do a mod/buy a car and not have every one on here say they like it, there is always a critic hahaha.

[ChaosweaveR] · 06-04-2014, 04:54 PM

Nice thing about the Honda crowd, they're mostly wheel whores. You probably could find a set of Civic Si wheels for a nice price locally. In the F/S F/T WTB wheel classifieds FB group I'm in for my area, TONS of Civic Si wheels with tires come up all the time.

Debadge it, wheels and a drop and that's all you'll need to look good.

TDavis · 06-04-2014, 05:12 PM

Get a nice set of HFP 18s in gunmetal and it will look much better.
