This is my daily driver. I call it the GNX or Grand National... just because its a Buick and there was actually a Reatta Grand National concept and it was silver... too bad it never made it to production.

So this is the day I bought it. It came with 16" Cadillac STS wheels

Everything works like a charm, I love the touchscreen display.

Yeah, the temperature gets even worst here in Arizona....

First thing I did, got rid of the Caddi wheels (I dont like to ride dirty) and got some generic 16" wheels with Toyo Proxes tires and blacked out the chromed grill.

And what a best way to celebrate than a canyon run to Tortilla Flat. Yeah I noticed the Handicaped spot... but I moved the car after I took the pic ;) (That's my vette before the C6 wheels.)

Next thing to do... replace the old school trunk lugage rack lid with a clean and smooth one.

Pics of the polished tailights, blacked out cornerlights and trunk coming soon....

Blacked out Buick emblem and Red Calipers.

Not a lot of cars have such a sleek shape, not bad for a design that came out in 1988.... still I want to lower it at least a couple inches and upgrade to 18" wheels.

The next step is a 3800 Series II supercharged engine and maybe Super Black paint the entire car for the Grand National Look... still not sure, maybe I'll just give a nice buff to the silver paint. We'll see..

 

So I took a couple pics that I tought looked pretty good... unfortunately I didn't noticed the pic size was set to "tiny"... anyways.

I need to lower my Reatta so bad

See the difference??? Maybe 17" wheels or 18" would help.

No chromes. Buick should always be spelled in BLACK!!!

Its just starting to get hot in Arizona, I'll be happy if it stays at 105 degrees during the summer. I'm so glad my A/C works fine.

 

Stay tuned for more pics and updates....

Please read before leaving a comment.

I really apreciate all of your comments, but please don't comment just so I go and vote for your ride.

Don't tell me you gave me 5 stars, that's not going to make me go and give you 5 stars. I'll rate your car according to what it deserves and I expect the same. Don't give my car 5 stars if it doesn't deserve them . If there's nothing special about your car I won't give you 5 stars, and if you want me to give you a comment, I'll give you my most sincere opinion. If I say something negative about your car it won't be to hate, but to point that you can do something better to improve your vehicle, it's all Constructive Criticism. ( This goes specially to that guy that goes and copy/paste the same comment on everybody's car on CarDomain and saying that he gave you 5 stars even if your car is completely unmodified or has flaws like he really cares/likes your ride , but he only wants you to go rate him with 5 stars... you know who I'm talking about)

At the same time I'll only accept constructive critics and will delete all hate comments. If you leave a comment I'll be more than glad to visit your ride and leave you a comment too and rate but don't expect 5 stars if your car only has custom wheels or an aftermarket stereo. All stock/unmodified vehicles won't be rated unless they are restorations or classics or very rare cars. A 5 star car should have nice wheels, nice interior work, some performance mods (if it is a performance oriented car)

Thanks for watching and please rate my rides at your own discretion.
