Ok so this is my old grand prix, with its new owner, if you read on he is gonna pulley it, and i know for certain that bottom end wont take it, it was my car, im certain, and the trans in that thing has to be smoked or damn close to it... haha http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2941179

Ricer? I don't like the two paint colors, but I don't know that I would call it a ricer...

I kind of like the 2 tone interior, but then i saw the exterior and almost threw up.

I may catch some serious flak for this but I actually find the portholes kind of appealing. They look nice, probably better on a glossy black paint job and not that kindergarden mess. Anyhow, I was just reading everyone tear some guy a new one over portholes at clubgp, so I won't blame ya if I catch some heat here.

In all honesty, with the mods he's got listed, he won't be blowing the bottom end out of the engine unless he goes smaller than a 3.4". The tranny on the other hand... And I can't believe what he did to the interior of that poor car.

There is a such thing as visually going overboard. He has achieved just that.

i agree, the interior is something u'd see on a magazine cover for import show cars, but I too like the portholes in the fender. It's unique and subtle. Not like he grafted a front end conversion...

the fender vents are from an 06 lucerne, i put them in there, well my buddy did the cutting and not for it, but it was my idea and im gonna do it to my new one as well, i think it looks awesome with actual vents, not just stick ons, on the other hand, it makes me sad to see the ricer interior... what a waste of leather

there must have been a sale on red krylon.
The red/black interior can look ok (i did mine like that) but that is far beyond the point of tasteful

I really like them. did u order the vents or how'd u get them? it wasnt so bad we did the measure about 150x then cut like 3 to 4 times until it fit tight (we started small dremeled the excess), by friend is a master of body mods, i'll have to get you guys his car domain link, but anyways, he made a template and then 2 more to be safe, all in all it took about an hour and the end result is like none other, i looked on GM Parts direct and you kan get the vents, but they only have the 4 port ones, i like the 3port ones better, and BTW to all, they come with black grilles Edit: My dad got the vents from a GM dealership, they were like 65bux or something

i dont like the scoops eihter but whats wrong with the vents? they're subtle which i think makes them nice. Not the way that whats his face has painted them red but im sure if they matched the paint or atleast were black they would be much nicer.

Be nicer if you cropped it down alil bit so its not as tall. Welcome aboard tho! I'm not a fan of the fender vents either. But thats all just personal taist, some people love em and some people hate em. Now the stick on scoops and the multi color theme

Good Idea: Changing the color of the interior Bad Idea: The color that he decided to change it to and the way he went about it.

I woulda liked the interior if it didnt look plastic. Poor leather. Nice color scheme, but, with Bobby, overboard.
engine really oughta be cleaned. Lookin like mine there, homie.
I am really truely DIGGIN the Lucerne scoops. the bumper needs to be black. the hood is kinda cool, as long as the scoops are functional, like John's car.
As a whole: nice concept. it needs some definite work. kinda rice, but only barely.

I like the Lucerne scoops as well, but that interior would give me a headache. Also not a fan of 2 toned paint schemes. (As I note with chagrin that my Favorite NASCAR driver went with a 2 toned paint scheme )
