Remove the matts and change the wheels is all it needs. Those wheels are bad arse but look wrong on that car.

If it's a WE4, it's not a Grand National. The Grand Nationals were option WE2.

Small consolation, as the car looks hideous.

You may be right, as I don't think the digital dash was an option on the GN.

That is EXTREMELY far from the truth. There are alot of parts missing and stuff that is incorrect on that car. I'm a loyalist naziwhen it comes to these owning one myself. Alot of small things like the bumper rub strips from a non-GN bumper, etc.

There is a TCL member with a bone stock GN that looks 10x better than this. Plus his was presumably not owned by a pole smoking attention whore.

Two things:

1) I don't think it looks bad at all. WCC has done far worse.

2) The very next anti-homosexual comment that gets posted will end this thread. Some of you need to grow up.

How do you make a turbo Buick suck even more? Why, cut out what little structural integrity there was that came with the fixed roof

Since they were first created. Soggy handling? Check. Pre-faded brakes? Check. Jell-o-like body structure? Check.

They're good for one thing, and only one thing: running quarter miles. Shame, then, that they have this nasty tendenancy to lift at the end of it...

Well, they don't suck for people who want to run the 1/4 mile then...which is why most people would buy them. In the same way, a Miata would "suck" to someone who enjoyed drag racing, but would be heaven for someone who likes to AutoX. Different cars are built for different purposes...

You do realize that some GNs came with T-tops, right?

I don't think it is that bad - it could be taken back to a pretty stock appearance with just a wheel swap.

Other than the wheels and floor mats, it looks bone stock. How is that "ugly" as claimed above?
