Grand Am Thunder

Future Plans for my Grand Am

If you are here than you have been attacked by the aftermarket bug, so you understand that it is a never ending process of customization. Once you get one accessory you begin planning for the next modification. I prefer to build subtle, but extreme rides. Hp and speed are great areas deserving some attention, but I am focused on looks and quality of the actual mod, to increase the value of the car and to keep the vehicle in excellent physical and mechanical condition, so that the next owner will be as happy with the car as I am. The next mods are going to be big ones, so they will take some time to complete properly. I am having the new dash and new trunk install done at Fritz Auto Sound, and it should take about 5 weeks. The interior is from www.leatherseats.com, but will be installed professionally by an upholstery shop in the neighboring city. I can do it myself, but I am seeking the pros to ensure everything goes in properly and perfectly. The big project will be the stereo and the new kit. The paint will also be a new touch, but obviously not as much in cost as the kit or stereo...
