It looks good!

It doesn't look too bad at all! For what it's worth, you might need some body panels lined up a little, but all in all, it looks very nice!
I was wondering about the 2nd Gen rims and Birds on the sail panels, but even so, it does look nice. I guess the prior owner liked the 2nd gen style more.

I like it. Hey need some center caps on it too. It would look cool if you painted those wheels to look like those on the GTO's. They are the same wheel. Charcoal black background with silver "spokes". If u dont know what Im talking about I have some pics of my LeMans with those wheels.

Hood on Grand-Am

It looks strange. Looks like a mutated WS-6 Trans-Am.
All I can say, if you like it, get it.
I still think it's strange looking on a Grand-Am.

The twin hood scoops aren't as big as the ones in that pic, that owner just made his larger, take the size of those scoops and imagine half that, thats how it really looks. Snowdog:"Looks like a mutaded WS-6 TA" that was pretty funny. Oh yea and yes redbird that hood is real, its from the SCT GA

No, those are pontiac rally 2 wheels that he has. Just painted silver. Same ones I have. Those would look cool on your car too, but you already have sweet rims.

price...

your bird looks pretty straight, however, i doubt you could get much for it. if you get 2,000 you would be lucky. V6 thirdgens simply arnt worth all that much. Hell, V8 thirdgens arent even worth much.

I would just keep it. You will not get what you want out of it, so why not just keep it so you wont regret selling it.
