Thread: Want to start this mod spree

Okay..

So I asked a very similar question before to the one I am about to ask again today!

HOODS!

When it comes to 04-08 finding a Ram Air hood.. seems to be nothing less than 700 dollars.. Now, I'm willing to spend whatever to make the car more beautiful.. But let's get real..


This is what I have so far.. What am I missing?

2008 GXP.

5% on the windows
10k HID's
low pro streeters (black rims) Red calps
NEW flomaster system. (full)

JUST purchased a new rear bumper to convert to dual exhaust.

I have the "racing stripes" that go on the fender, but Have yet to put them on..

A large Pontiac Decal for the rear window. again yet to put it on.. Just trying to make the car stand out a big..

I have red plugs, and a few motor mods. Cold air intake.. random stuff..

I guess my main concern is where I can find a hood for a reasonable price.

I plan to get this car to 400hp at least, I do plan on dropping 2K on a Turbo tax season, So I want to make this car something everyone can enjoy when they look at. The inside is clean as can be. Mint actually. I kind of want the "rare seats".. the ones that are two toned with the Pontiac logo on them? idk.. lol

Any ideas? Anything I should do?

Thanks guys.

Only place your going to find the hood besides classifieds or local etc is pfyc. Btw your car should have already came with a dual exhaust bumper do you mind posting a picture of the rear.

There's isn't a set of seats that were 2 toned with the point ac emblem unless there custom. Of course these the two tones GXP seats with alcantara in the middle.

?.. why didnt you have the dual exhaust.. im confused all GXPs come with dual.. also like Red said there is no two tone seats unless they are custom.. there are two tone door panels and dash though

Sounds like someone might have replace el bumper because of a accident

Welcome. With what our wanting.....u gonna eventually need a tranny...for now a trans go shift kit with a good tranny tune will help a ton on making it last. O and a tranny cooler is an absolute must....should be mod #1.

And since u wanna go faster.....you'll need one of these beautiful things

Ls1/2/6. All three of those will work. And a cam...like I'm working on now....will get u to 400

There are two tone seats.
I'm always watching for a set on ebay/craigslist. Here's a set, but they're not in great condition:

^^^^their really not two tone....just an FYI. Those are same as my GXP seats and if their actually taken care of and the suede is kept clean are the same color

Find me a better set for sale...won't be easy. These are actually pretty good. Only sort of issue is the driver lower pad but that can easily be swapped and this is rather good wear for a 05 that had 135k on it

I've seen much better sets for sale, problem is they are priced accordingly.
These ones are quite cheap compared to what they normally come up at. I'm just not willing to pay $800-1000 for a set of seats.

Exactly if you want to pay way more I'm sure you can find a better set. A little TLC can go along way. It's hard to expect perfection when after all it was pulled from a used totaled car. Years ago GXPs seats rarely popped up took me a good 2-3 years of constant searching to find a set.

Word of advice, ditch the 10k HID's they are doing nothing for you. Go to no higher than 5000k HID's. Your light output will be vastly improved.

In the last few days I have seen several cars with HID's in the 8000k to 10,000k range and just laugh at the piss poor output and the BLUE.

Ya those arent two tone, they are just leather and suede and the suede is the same color just look different bc its diff material.

These are two tone

Do CTS-V seats in the front so you can heat and cool your arse. and just have the rears re-upholstered. that's not the cheap way but in the long run its would be worth the time and money.
