Nothing really special, mostly stock except for the exhaust but I think it's come a long way.

Before

After

This isn't a great picture of how dingy the paint was but for reference
Before

A few exterior pics after a few hours of buffing



More to come

The new exhaust tips, they're not as big as I thought he was going to put on there but I'll have him put a set of the DTM upturn style on there soon.


Well, that's all for today. It still needs some paint work and other odds and ends but atleast I can enjoy driving it while I get the funds together for the rest.
Now I'd just like to say a thanks to the great people that have helped me out from the forum. 007Doug, hooked me up with some great new GM parts at awesome prices, MRJ and mOsh_man, after 5 hours of driving to get a door (pass window was missing) they hooked me up with a nice bundle of parts, 2M4Dale, great guy to talk to and awesome Fiero parts resource, LivoniaFieroGT who somehow keeps getting his hands on nice new GM parts, I think that's about it if I forgot anyone I appolgize, I was buying parts here and there for about a month.

And there are a lot of you who helped and didn't even know it! Got to love that search function!

And of course I have to say thanks to Cliff most of all for making this great forum and your continuing efforts!!

Steve at Walts said mine sounds better than yours LOL. He said mine is more of a growl. I listened to a sound clip of a 2.8 with the Borla and it didn't sound any different.
Yeah, the GA brakes were sort of a last minute thing, front pads and rotors were shot so I said the heck with it. I got the hubs done at my mom's work.

Thanks Dale. Just to clarify, it was Fed-Ex's screw up not Dales.

Oh and Brian, the Grand Am brakes feel great been driving it to work everyday for a little over a week and have had no problems with them.
