This is my ride. So it's an oldsmobile and a piece of crap you might say. well, the truth is that oldsmobile has been one of the top manufaturers in the car industry for quite some time, and you know what, they last. They are great cars, and come with way more HP than your average camry or civic. Sure, it doesn't come with the sportiest look, but they have luxury like hell, and i was able to start taking care of the sport look. And when i say I, i mean me. I have done everything you see in these pictures from the graphics to the tint to the interior, and i can do much more. I have to take more pictures of the system and lights and such, but until then enjoy! And just so you know, this car isn't even close to finished. I've come this far, and im not going to stop. It takes balls to do this to an olds, because you know you are going to get made fun of by all the civics. And i know there are many people trying to pimp their olds' judging by this site, and you know what advice i have for you olds tuners... when people make fun of you for your car, tell them that they are just plain people because they follow the civic trends and you have originality. Then just suck in your anger, and when they pull up to you at a light and rev their engine, do one of two things...1) blow the shit out of them, because you can, 2) or just watch them peel away, (or try to) because you don;t have to drive fast to show off your car! Sitting still does more than you can imagine. when i blow past people on the highway, i always get the you are an aass hole look... but when i am slowly driving through a parking lot or sitting at a red light, it is coutless how many times people stop, and stare, and sometimes even roll down their windows to say nice ride. Just the other day someone asked me if i was on pimp my ride!!
�the hood scoop, (painted by myself)
hood scoop again and hood graphics, which are not done yet.
the back end, with the eye grabbing chrome graphics, designed, made, cut, and put on by myself. These graphcs cost me about $50 for the material, and the rest i did myself.
you can kinda see the exhaust tip, but the next picture shows it better!
Ahhh, the exhaust, or should i say the lack of one, i found that a muffler is overrated, so i took it off, and put 3 inch muffler piping from the cat back. i left the cat alone because i didn't want to screw up back pressure, but now it is clogged up, and i have to replace it. Also, lights were custom made by... myself again... and the wing is a saleen wing from NOPI, made for a Mustang, but hey, my car has a similar back end sooo.... i bought it.
Front shot, a little bottoming out gets you a screwed up bumper guard!
The rims... DRAG wheel company, 17 inch, with kumho tires, but will soon be replaced with VENTUS tires.
Interior, gauges, used to be all grey and fake wood trim... again, I ripped out the whole interior for about a week, and redid everything black and aluminum. Looks a lot cleaner this way i think. there are some loose wires because i am in college, and i dont have my car here, so i gradually work on it when i go home, and i didnt get to finish last time, i just put the gauges in, and didnt have a chance to hide the power wire for the lights.
another interior shot... sportin th fire exstinguisher on the right with the Chrome illusions chameleon paint left over from painting my cousins grand am 2001. when he posts his car i'll get some pics on here, because it is definately one of the sickest grand ams out there.
ready to lift up the hood? i'm not... its almost all stock, but i put a little bit under there! I'll show you anyway, but keep in mind, it isn't finished.
Simple intake, adds a little hp not much, i don't see why people make a big deal about these, if its not cool air, it doesn't do much, i have learned this... but for right now i could care less, i am saving up for a turbo they just came out with for this engine!!! can you say mucho fast?
