nub o d day

hey everyone whats up

my name is Gus and i just got an 02 SE (auto). i bought it used w/ 34xxx for 17 and some change. (is that good or bad?) This is supposed to be my daily driver as i have a Grand Am as my show car, but im already looking into mods for the car. Prolly just simple stuff though. I'd like to find the best intake for the money, and also a new exhaust. I am going to vinyl over the light/refector pieces on the sides as well. Other than that, i dont really know because it'll but me in the DEAD BROKE zone. Anyone else from the Rochester, NY area?

the links below are my cardomain for my GA, the company that makes all the body parts for my car, along w/ other year ga's, alero, grand prix, s-10 and soon the GTO. The third link is my vinyl sponsor's site. He also does web design and has a parts store as well.

EDIT... im guessing that i have to have a certain amount of posts to get my signature and avitar to work? ne1 know those numbers off the top of their head?

so here's the links incase anyone is interested:

www.aedcentral.com
www.alterimpact.com

Anyway, look at the stickies section above the forum on how to do a search. all the stuff youre lookin to do, youll find EXTENSIVE talk about.

And remember...

I personally think the Pontiac was a little overkill in some areas but at least you didn't do a half azz job on it. You had a theme and did it inside and out.

Just remember that the Max is on a differnt level than the Pontiac so keep it rice free.

Btw, the GA should be the daily driver and the Max the show car... even if the Max is stock it'd make a better show car...

Hiya Sweet, welcome to the forums, and enjoy the Max. It should treat you well.

yeah well, thats the great thing about this country... everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I find that just about anyone that drives an import or the like is not too fond of domestic cars being tricked out where as domestic drivers find it ok (especially in the world of ga's). I do find that my car is not really rice. Yes it has a big wing, but i'd consider a metal or aluminum more ricey compared to a 3 piece fiberglass wing that i molded myself. Also i dont have a fart can so thats a plus . but like i said, to each his own. Either way, im not going to be doing any body mods to the max as of yet. The GA is all show no go, and i'd like to make the max a sleeper in terms of starting on all motor work first. Unfortunately buying it was more expensive than i had originally planned so any modding wont be happening til next winter. The other problem i am now having is that i've had the ga for 5 years, and while its only been painted since july 04, its just not fun anymore. More and more AED kitted ga's are showing up at shows and what not and its just not what it was 2 years ago.... now i got a new car to toy with so the ga will prolly just sit on the back burner

GA looks good on the outside, better than most of the mexican hooptie cavaliers with Super Street badges all over it in my area. I actually like it on the outside, but interior just doesn't do it for me, stock is even worse- Pontiac interiors wanna make me puke. Welcome to the .ORG and the VQ performance world.
