    Straight from import tuner. #1 is my pet peeve when it comes to grand prixs. Maybe not "chicken wire" but the grill kits for our cars, yikes. Some were on my car when I got it and I immediately put a set of stockers back on.

    Well that and #7 and #8 for any car. And 13.

    2000gtp>> I figure I'd post something printed, I do read both import mags and of course Car Craft and the other car mags. Its best to say our Grandprixs dont fall into any of those categories. Well maybe GM high tech.

    I'm not going to rag on anyone for mods done to their ride. Well except for the kid I know with a fart pipe on his s-10, but cars will always be personalized to the owners taste to make theirs different than the guy down the street. Want dubs? Go for it! Not every GP has to be a barnstormer. If I remember right, we are talking about mass produced midsized fwd cars right?

    I like how "#1 Chicken Wire" points directly to an FMIC and not chicken wire. FAIL!

    Well if you look closely there is chicken wire infront of it.

    Pick on Riviera's? I hope your not serious... I am an x-Riviera owner! Imo Riviera's need big rims like those, their factory ones are just too small.

    My old Riviera and yes i miss it, and yes i will be getting another one soon

    my old series 1 Riviera





    BTW I think ive seen you on rivperformance.com

    99prixgt>> no im not serious, forgot the emoticon. lol I can see why you miss your old car, beautiful color!

    I'm on rivperformance sometimes, my brother owns a series 1 with alot of miles that requires questions to be asked quite frequently. He actually has my old set of 18s on it, which personally is my limit on wheel size but I think the right set of 20s wouldnt look bad. ewolfe0050's car before the transformation, I still think would look great murdered out.

    ^That Riviera is definitely Bad A**! A lot of people say the Riviera's are ugly blah blah blah, but i think they are one of the coolest cars that you could buy. Ive never owned a car so comfortable as the Riviera, I wish i had kept it and done an L67 swap like I wanted but, I needed to get rid of it...that poor 4t60e tranny took a sh**.
