    Just wanted to share the pics from the detailing that I did on my grand prix yesterday and today. Total time spent on it was about 9 hours. It pretty much involved everything from srcubing the wheels to the engine detail (thanks to csssaint12's thread here: http://www.grandprixforums.net/how-d...bay-47930.html ). I also polished out the headlights so they are crystal clear now

    Anywho - here's the after pics... sorry, no before pics of the paint/engine, just imagine it really really really dirty:




















    Headlight Restoration before:

    (This was actually the AFTER shot from my first attempt two years ago with a terrible drill)


    Before shot from yesterday




    AFTER











    ENJOY!

    For the headlights I used the 3m headlight restorationkit with a GOOD corded drill. About $15 at Walmart too

    Believe it or not I just got of the phone from a friend of mine with an offer to buy his car at a steal. It's very enticing and very hard to refuse, but I would have to sell the grand prix. If it happened id have to sell the grand prix this week, out at least by the end of the month. I just don't know if I can afford my buddy's car right now. If it were 6 months from now, it'd be a brainer... So yes, I am considering offers if anyone is interested. 103000 miles with mods listed below. New shocks, brakes, passenger CV axle and tires this month (DEC/Jan).

    03 is the only year for the "Limited Edition". The emblems and wing give it away.

    The biggest thing is this is a year old, died long time ago, and you 2 just dabbled in Necromancy.
