I've built 1 1/2 of these kits (the second was a resto of a friend's attempt, I got stalled on the paint part-he painted it with a brush and unthinned enamels) and I think they all have the A-piller problem. I think this kit has an incredibly detailed interior, that was my favorite part about the build.

If you want to be dead-on realistic, I can give you some pointers! IE GN's have a factory installed rock guard, kinda like Rhinoliner, about halfway below break on the door. You can achieve this by allowing some overspray and/or not polishing this area.

Some interesting GN trivia....The GN platform was cancelled after the 1987 model year because, in a track test against the Corvette, the GNX outperformed the Vette on all counts. This was unacceptable, because the Corvette was GM's flagship and therefore HAD to be the best thing GM made. GN's were offered from 84 to 87; the 86-87 model years are the most desireable because they're factory intercooled. They were also only offered in black.

they beat a corvette........ holy shiza
