Before and Afters...
I came across this car for a really good price so I thought I would pick it up, throw some money at it, then sell it. Heres the low down:
Factory Stuff:
01 T/A
Ebony Interior
A4
90k
My additions:
17x9.5 17x11 chrome ZR1's
Flat black CETA
Stainless Magnaflow Cat-back
Whisper Lid
CF Overlays (I was on the fence about these, but the general public like em', so, there they are)
Its actually made quite a change in the last two days (first pics were taken Monday, last were taken yesterday and today). Let me know what you guys think, and give me some tips if you have any. I know its a 4x4, but I'm not lowering it because I'm selling it!

The passenger tip hands a lil low so I'm going to loosen the clamp tonight to see if I can raise it up. Other than that, thoughts please.

Man you move quickly
Amazing what a difference a few of those details make on these cars. Only other thing I would do is black out the tail filler panel for an easy free appearance mod. After that, do the !fbody mod and find that white frc..

This one isn't to keep, but man do I hate driving the Grand Am around, I'll actually make money off this one too so I can't go wrong. I'll do the filler panel quick, just didn't have the plastic polish last night!

I also thought about suggesting painting the T/A emblems on the door, but I'm not sure about that now. Maybe an overlay on the front bird?
Looks pretty clean, sounds like a good deal.

Oh, yea, forgot the new pic of the front, there is a CF overlay on the bird. I think I'm going to smoke the lenses at the front and wetsand the center panel. I'm scared to lower the back because I don't want to to have that permanent squat in the back.

You might get money back for the wheels, but why put so much money into it if you're gonna sell it? You'd have to get lucky with someone who can appreciate those mods in your area. Usually the only cost-effective things to do on a turn around are a full detail and engine cleaning. I say this b/c I've done a few turn arounds and know how it goes. But, maybe you already have someone/some people in mind that are lookin to buy and can appreciate?

I am getting an FRC, I'll make some money off of this car and it will give me more to put down. I've found a couple I'm going to check out, unfortuantely they are both higher mileage than I would have liked. I gave my self 6 months from the beginning of this month to get into a white FRC. With the TA I'm just going to make a little money off of it and just have more for mods/car on the Vette.
EDIT: On the driverside sideskirt, I don't think I'm going to mess with it, I'll point it out at the sale though.
