In search of stance: my 99 grand prix

needs much less tire.

I would of spent 8 min. and hit that fender with some white paint before installing it.

I'd do what the OP is doing and wait to do it correctly.

Needs to be wider + camber in the rear to make dat a$$ look real sexy

Whats up with that black fender?

[Stupid Kid]

Yeah, man that looks kinda funky.

I really like it now, the fatter tires give it a kinda "muscle car" look, which compliments the rest of the car really well i think

Don't go vip style, vip works on full size four doors with long wheelbases, not pontiac coupes.

You're definitely going in the right direction, wheels are good, fitment is good, its all good.

Happy to see somebody working on a uncommon platform

I did some rough photoshops of vip style wheels and it didn't really look right haha. Here's a picture I made a while ago before I started any of the recent stuff. This isn't my car in the picture, but i shopped the wheels on it and I guess that would be a little closer vip maybe. or at least its a better idea of what bigger wheels might look like.

The wheels and tires are def a step in the right direction. I personally would like to see a staggered setup on the car.

I'd like to try out staggered too, or maybe just some spacers in the back so i can rotate tires. I think I could easily do 10" wide in the back.

It did have a slight drone but that's nothing a solid sound system won't fix...and I know where you can pick up a super charged motor for bout 500 bucks...

Haha thats right I would deal with the drone if i could get a nice grumble at idle. Where can I get that motor?

little tip... Cherry Bomb Glass pack where the resonator was and a pair if their Turbo mufflers sounds amazing on the 3800 series II motor

Awesome, thanks man. I always hear about certain mufflers on these cars droning at highway speeds and its really hard to get a straight answer on what sounds good.


I took a quick trip to sonic and a car wash after rolling the fenders tonight
I need some legit pictures though

Thanks! I decided to forget the roller and do it by hand because I was getting impatient

found a couple pics.

Those both look really good! Idk if I would ever be into a hood like that, but the both have the SD lip and I've considered getting that before. Are they both on air?

Props bro I like how its coming along. Should go a little bigger rim so you can go back to a smaller tire profile to get more stretch, but right now it looks awesome. Keep up the hard work man deff going to be following the rest of this build. What are some of the plans for her next?

Thanks! Yeah if I had to start over, I think 19's would be spot on for this car. The wheel wells really are huge and it kinda sucks because thats when wheels and tires become expensive But for other plans, I'm hoping to maybe get a new spoiler for my birthday that looks similar to this but is dished a little bit. Its the same spoiler on the black and silver GP's just posted. I'd also like to get rid of my vaccum cleaner tips and get some new mufflers. But really I want to start focusing on the interior because its all gray and boring and its falling apart. Then maybe some go fast parts haha
