I am a big fan of body kit, however they don't make to many and the ones they do make for a grand prix are either too expensive(AED) or look like shit(Andy's). The one they sale from Andy's is just to sloppy looking, I mean the front clip is alright but the side clips look like crap. Anyway what I was thinking about doing is using the front clips from Andy's auto and the side clips and back bumper from the AED, how do you think this would look? Opinions please.

You should include a couple of links so we can see some pictures of the body kits you are talking about. I'd like to check them out if I knew where to find them.

i would do it. I dont think it would look that bad. Just as long as they all line up and the front bumper does not sit higher or lower then the sides and rear.

I am honestly not the biggest fan of body kits. I think that the majority of them are way too extremely designed and cheaply made. I prefer a cleaner, more subtle look.
I must confess that the Grand Prix body kits aren't as tacky as I thought they would be. I agree with you in that AED's looks much better than Andy's. Andy's looks really shitty. They could have at least painted the body kit the same shade of white as the car is on the pictures on their web site.
I personally would start with either a new set of wheels or a new hood (http://www.3800performance.com/vehicles/grand_prix_97_03_miva.htm). To me, Grand Prix's beg for a ram-air style hood. And a nice set of rims can dramatically change the looks of any car, sometimes more than a body kit.

Well yeah that's a givin.......Ram Air hood is a must, makes the car look so much meaner, and of course you have to put satleast some 18's on it. I am a fan of body kits and I do like the way the look, I just wish they would make a body kit like this for it

not exact but something that has vents in the ground effects like for instance the z3 fender vents in them, just something that looks completely aero dynamic.......and matches the cars natural curves.
