For me wrapping it was going to be atleast 250 dollars. For a shop to paint it matte black was 100 so for me painting it was the best option. if you dont like it spend 100 and paint it your original colorOriginally Posted by SilvaMan61

Well, Here she is. It's been almost a year since I first got her with just under 82000 on it.
I think I've done almost every small modification that can be done to a GTP, so, it's time to slowly move to the big stuff.
Her name is Jenny.
^This picture is from the first day I bought the car.
This past month has been rough for this car. But it's only good things from here on.
I'm thinking a set of 9-5 rockers and a Highflow-Cat./SD Headers are the next mods. But a tune is in the very near future.
And considering she's about half way through her life with a little over 96000 on the odo. I think so far so good.
Mods. list:
Home dept H.A.I. with ebay AEM filter.
180*tstat.
Crossed-Drilled and Slotted Rotors w/ Ceramic pads.
GMPP front sway bar.
Flipped Dog Bones

The Iroc wheels were the first thing I noticed in that pic. I'm willing to bet the rears probably look goofy though. The offset probably has them sticking out past the fenders

Took a few pics earlier with my cell phone...

^ very nice
05-25-2011
How so? Because a good friend of mine, and an avid GPF member recommended me install one.
to you
and you
It's actually not as much offset as you'd think. and you too.

when an engine runs cooler, not all the fuel gets burnt off, leading to heavy carbon deposits and poor fuel milage. the reason for running a lower thermostat is to reduce knock, which is much more prevalent with pulley drops. nothing catastrophic, but nothing gained.
edit: for reference, the ideal temp for an engine to run is between 200-210 give or take a few degrees.

thats pretty cool, i've always kinda wondered what were the said circumstances for low temp tstats. i learned sumtin new today lol. but yea i deliver pizza with my car (fml) so having the low temp tstat kind of helps the motor with long idling times stay cooler, i mean yea slightly lower mpgs but, honestly, having a cooler/not overheating motor, gives me peace of mind.

Wow, some great looking cars on here!!

Only time it looked goofy is when he had the old tires on and they stuck out on the front. The newer narrower ones fit nicely
