yes i saw it and will be looking at it very soon. yeah your car looks killer but you need the lower trim to make it complete. i dont have the funds at the moment thats why im going ahead and preping it for paint. but im saving as we speak for it and the spoiler. and i have 300 bucks left to spare and im ordering projectors with hids and putting hids in my fogs. then ill be out of funds. lol. frown but untill next time.....

im not feeling it, you've eliminated all the characteristics of the grand prix body from the body. it looks like a Buick.

But damn, that's custom as hell. throw some 17s in chrome and you are ballin.

I hope you had the holes welded in and not just bondo'd over.

I've seen many a paint job ruined from that short cut.

thank you. im going with just a black mettalic and a silvermist on the lower faiscas, new 04gp seats are going in. im redoing the headliner, and the door panels, having my dash and console painted to match my car and also having my rims powdercoated black. i ordered ssc springs, and new kyb struts, and im still debating onto order projectors with hids or go with stock capsules with hids. then going to have to save some more money and get my a SD hood and slp gen 1 spoiler.

You can always get later, molded in or not it's still sexy and IMO is the best appearance mod.

yeah true. im really wanting the SD or F1 hood and a slp gen 1 spoiler. the SD wing looks to darn big. i love the slp gen 1 because its bigger then stock but yet has smooth lines.

I wish I had the time, tools, skills and most importantly MONEY to do something like this. Nice work and I am anxious to see it all finished up.

time and tools is the most important. skill is a factor, but as a 17 year old i think im doing pretty well. but i have been around this stuff since i was 5 so kinda helps me out. this whole project i have done on my own, it hasnt cost me a WHOLE LOT of money but a little for the materials and tools. (most tools i had) i havee been painting since i was like 12, but this will be the 1st car im doing from scratch, prime is being layed today. will post pics after prime. laugh
