In search of stance: my 99 grand prix

[bakerdd]

Thanks guys!

And I've heard that the shortened dogbones aren't the best route, but I do have engine/tranny spacers in right now. They helped a ton but I still get a bit of vibration if I try and drive too low. Maybe a combo of both spacers and dog bones would do it

DUDE! Love the Prix, i sold mine to a friend to get the regal and every time I see it I miss it! Now seeing yours I really miss it! I really wish I'd run onto you profile before I bought the Vogtlands, Just got them installed and its not bad just not as low as I would like. Did you have to shorten your dog bones?? or shim engine/tranny? I will start a build thred and share the progress so far.

I love that setup simple and stylish!

I started redoing my air setup today. I'm trying to hide everything under a false floor except for a portion of the tank that will stick up through the floor. Sorry for the vertical pictures haha

brainstorming ideas. The spare well is way smaller than I was expecting for this big car.



started the false frame. The floor will be raised the thickness of the wood plus whatever I cover it with. I'm thinking of getting some hardwood flooring.



Checking the fitment of my sub box. I added a metal brace across the two triangle pieces later on.



Hoping to end up with something like this. The space is super cramped and I still need to figure out how to mount the compressors better. Right here they just have 2 screws each and kind of swing around. I really hope that I have enough room left to plumb everything fairly easy.

Check out posts for the same generation Monte Carlo... Underneath they were the same car

Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

have you ever thought about gettin a set of roof rails? or a arm air hood?

I just feel as it's just missing that extra little bit.. Message Killerspeed on GPF.. he's got a couple set's of rail's for sale

I think so too. But i dont think rails would go with the roof spoiler. I do want a different hood but i think i want a gtx or special edition/daytona hood. And i have a gen 2 spoiler coming right now.

man I really like this but white or gold wheels would absolutely kill it ! you should do it change it up its just paint.

Thanks! I think im set on gold or bronze. Its gonna go on my summer list

Right now though i really just want to go back to static. Front bags came off today and i'm gonna start looking for some nice coils. I need something off of a different car though because no companies care about pontiacs if anyone has some suggetions, that would be awesome because i dont know where to start. I just need strut style front and back and the most important part is the bottom mounts. I can work with everything else.

Can't believe I've missed this thread until now. I'm completely a believer after seeing it dumped. Awesome work, man!

[244Brick]

Yeah stunning

[B Rod]

Wow. I don't know how you did it, but it looks amazing! Seriously turned a terrible looking car(IMO of course) into a stunning ride.

[bakerdd]

Oh cool man, thanks! That cart is making me nervous haha

[manbeard]

i was driving home from work the other day and saw something weird in a lowes parking lot (two saturdays ago at the one off capital). i whipped to the right as fast as i could and saw your car. it looks awesome in pictures, but its SO much better in person. i love it man.
