    I did manage to take the pinstripes off and debadge the sides, not sure if I wanna take the back off yet.



    And about the bumper.. I want to paint it but I recently bought some black headlights and was thinking about keeping the bumper black and getting some black rims, 15% window tint.. kinda like a black and purple look.

    Thanks I was going to go for a black/white look but I was told getting it painted could cost about $1,500 to $2,000 so I decided to just keep it the way it is since you don't really see that many purple and black Grand Prix's riding around. Next payday I'm going to get the halo headlights installed and then go from there.

    Fix that right tip, tuck them up another inch or two...get the bumper painted, the windows tinted...don't buy projectors, they suck...get HID's for the stock capsules...you'll thank me later...get that u-bend taken out if you didn't already...leave the resonator...and enjoy.

    Looks good so far. Keep up the good work. What mufflers are you using?

    I liked the bronzemist and black combo on my car. I think if I was to do a black and purple combo I would paint the bottom of the rear bumper black as well and put the purple inlay on.
    02 GT: Silverstar ultras, nighthawk platinum 2157s, ngk plugs, champion wires, 6k hid fogs, stainless magnaflows, cleaned tips, 2 10" subs. Finally painted.
