Grand Am GT build.... yup! A Grand Am lol

[_HeC_]

The SC/T parts and the dual post mirrors will be winrrraar. Focus on those, I think the current rollers look not bad

I was kind of thinking the same thing, parts car in the garage is really holding up my body work though

Yeah they are pretty heavy, and black rims sell really quick. Mine are just plasti dipped for that exact reason until i get some expensive ones... maybe Rotiform BLQ's

Looks like a buddy from work wants mine, haven't really tried selling them yet as I don't have another wheel in front of me yet lol

and figured out my C5 calipers won't clear 16s so kind of tosses out the thought of those crown vic rims unless I run a F-body caliper which is pretty similar to the C5 but not as strong. Needed F-body brackets for the C5s to bolt onto the GA so ended up taking the calipers at the same time too... not sure what I'll run yet

F-body calipers BARELY clear 16s

was messing with the parts car and my Grand Am needs to come down a lot! lol

you could always run a minimal spacer behind the 16's to clear the vette brakes

[_HeC_]

I don't think a spacer would help, quick google search and I'm not the first one to have thought about grinding the fins down

got the parts to get the front brakes installed for now, stock on the right

front lip just needs a final wetsand/buff/polish before install

[cosmo135]

oooooh i see i thought the rims weren't deep enough. It sucks that the fins on the calipers are the issue.

That front lip looks flawless i really like how it came out!!

[_HeC_]

thanks man, never got around to the final wetsand but still installed it for the time being



Do they really expect you to use such a small hopper?? lol

works pretty good for $15

[Motoman325]

im loving that lip. downright mean

[TWM Performance]

Wicked build, love how DIY and custom it is.

thanks guys, shes slowly coming together

pain in the ass this was

got the fronts installed for the time being

and lesson learned NEVER believe what you read on the net lol 16s DO clear the C5 calipers

[_HeC_]

grabbed a wet kit to run for this summer, hoping for mid-low 13s on the NAWZZZ!! lol

turbo and nitrous for 2016?!?!?

[MercTastic]

Those calipers turned out good, well worth the effort. Excite for NOS antics + seeing dat purp on black

[cosmo135]

omg turbo + nos would be amazing

[shippedout]

Different but a good different. Im liking this alot

[baggedb16sentra]

So awesome always wanted one of these either the supercharged or the v8, stoked to see how it handles the turbo and bottle.

[_HeC_]

thanks guys! baggedb16 I think you have the Grand Prix in your head? the Grand Am never came with a V8 or SC

Will be buying another turbo as well and selling my godspeed gt35... 7L CAT Borg Warner turbo will be going in
will need some cutting and welding I'm sure but this is the budget setup I'm going with!


got a double din for cheap so tossed that in as well after a little cutting

finally got my dual posts painted and installed


started a new stereo setup for the trunk

few more layers and quick trim is as far as I got for now, to busy and more important things then a fancy sub install lol

got my nitrous mocked up and bracket welded up for the Zex control box, final install this Sunday I think

welded the bolts on from the back side to make install easy

7-8hrs on the road to meet up with a fellow N-body owner to get my "mint" carbon fiber SCT hood, I returned home still hoodless as the "mint" hood had 3 out of 4 stripped mounting points and a rather big bubble in the middle of the hood that was lifting

also found a better sounding video from my dyno run online from someone that was at the shop the same day
