Doctor Speed is a great place for Grand Am Performance Parts.

GrafxWerks is the best place to get vinyl overlays.

GrandAmV6.com is an awesome message board for Grand Am enthusiasts.

Below if a nice shot of the front end showing the mesh grill.. Most people think this mod is "ricey" but I still like the look of the mesh. The pic on the right is with the old crappy mesh, but it is a good shot of the transmission cooler.

Below are a couple interior shots. This setup consisted of a DVD player and a 7.2" widescreen LCD screen. I had to modify the bracket to make it fit where the middle air vent was, but IMO, it looks great where it is. On the right is a view from the driver's seat.

Below is a pic of my new brakes. They are aftermarket rotors with Performance Friction Carbon Metallic Pads. Since I knew I was getting new wheels, I decided to paint the caliper and caliper bracket so it wouldn't just be dull metal. Here is a before and after comparison

Below is a pic of the car right before I put the new wheels on... you can see how badly it needed new rims. Before and After...

Above, you can see my Maganaflow exhaust setup. I went with two 3" stainless steel tips. I have also removed the exhaust resonator which made a nice improvement in the exhaust note. It added just a bit more volume and a little more flow to the exhaust.

That's all for now, I will add new pics as I do more work. The car is about to have a bunch of stuff done to it. New rims, more engine work, and suspension mods are on the way. Check back for updates!!

Nice GA... amazing the difference in looks a few exterior mods can do.. And I like EVERYTHING you did for the performance mods - I've only had THIS GA for 6 months so I'm still working out what I'm going to do, but so far, you have everything I've considered!
