Re: My 98 GP SE and what ive done to it
Hes like the Lady Gaga of our forum... sometimes were like WTH is going thru your mind, but its ok. As long as your happy with what you're doing I say keep on.
If nobody ventured out and tried something different, the world would be a different place, a worse place.
I'm glad to see someone that doesn't care and keep doing what makes them happy. Keep it up, if they don't like it, tell em to kiss off.
They are not your sponsor, they pay for no parts, they don't have to drive it, therefore, their opinion shouldn't matter.

no, no interest in lowering. the hood & roof looks a little naked now.
But mostlikely the engine bay will get some attention, along with a better air intake.

Ah, ok. What plans do you have for the roof? The decal on the hood is cool. Just so you know even though my car is gold(which I like) I wish it was the Daytona blue color, blue is my fav. Oh and your cluster is awesome.

Let me be the voice of reason.
You are doing yourself a great disservice leaving that wing on there.
It looks like you're transporting a double amputee and his prosthetics are sticking out the trunk lid.
If your going for that look then...by all means.
Other people have expressed their opinion that a stock spoiler would look great and they're cheap.
Instead of just painting it blue, tie it in gradually. Masking tape and imagination?
The interior is looking flashy but good.
I have to admit, you've got balls that clank. Yes, it's a compliment.

Im with you its definitely not the norm but at the end of the day we just have our rides to deal worry about. Way to be proud of your ride man!
Re: My 98 GP SE and what ive done to it
I'm with Rico; the car's not something I'd drive, but I see what you're going for and I'm trying to make suggestions based on how I would do the same. As I said before, I'd get rims like torque stars or whatever those triangular ones are, paint the larger part of them white and the secondary blue. Do the same with the spoiler, paint the wing itself one color and the arms another. If the arms were blue I'd use vinyls or paint to stretch the color onto the trunk. Remove the pinstripe and do something on the hood and roof; maybe racing stripes, maybe blue roof rails. Maybe get a cowled hood and do the cowls in blue. Maybe even paint the mirrors blue, or run a blue stripe through them. Some blue halo headlights might be cool too.
Whatever you want, even if you want rice, just make it flow. A blue wing and wheels on a white car without any blending is not far off from mismatched fenders. Make it your own, but make it look nice.;)

roof rails painted the same blue. I know this hood is played out, but I think it still looks good.
SD Grand Prix Ram Air Hood - GPEXT - PFYC.com
Also get GT front and back bumpres and side skirts
and this spoiler

Re: My 98 GP SE and what ive done to it
There is a thread with a West Wings spoiler for sale if you want something different but more fit for the curves of a GP

^ Not his car, but he is selling a spoiler like it. I bought the roof rails, but the spoiler is up for grabs if you would like it.

Re: My 98 GP SE and what ive done to it
So, basically...you want it to look like a fish all the time...with rust?
That's cool.
