Did a little bit of PS to give you a feel for what those same wheels would look like if they were grey, I think they look pretty good. 8)

The S/C for the 98 3100 will fit pretty close to the 99 and up 3400 PM me if you want the link to the company who did it for me.

interesting combo you have gone here but it all seems to be GM. do u get a discount on the cars? even the cadillac follows the same path! just curious really...but nice combo I like the trailblazer and seeing what you have done with the other two cars it should also turn out well! under normal circumstances i would think of a tuned grand am as a wierd and terrible thing, but urs is actually quite cool! nice fleet dude!

Thanks for the comments The Grand Am was my 1st car and then it turned into a project toy after a few years as a DD. No one I had seen had done any work to Grand Am's so I figured lets be different
My family has always been GM loyal and thats what I've been brought up with. To be honest I was looking at Euro SUV's but I decided on the TrailBlazer SS just because for what you pay theres not much that can touch it performance wise and with a new house and wedding coming up the money was better spent in that and then after all the fun stuff is taken care of then maybe I'll look into something a lil more lux. The other thing with all the GM vehicles is because my dad has been friends with a sales guy and we've been loyal customers for years so we do get a decent price on the vehicles we purchase (especially since theres always room to negiotiate with GM)
