    I recently bought a 2002 gtp and I'm trying to figure out what all needs replaced and (or) checked out. I know for sure I will be putting in front hub bearings, cv axles, tranny cooler, and tie rods. Also the car has 98k miles on it and appears to be pretty much in great condition besides some rocker panel rust. Also I have access to a lift and I am very mechanically inclined so labor cost don't really matter. So even if it's just something small that could help in any way let me know!
    2002 Fully Loaded GTP. Cat back exhaust and 20% window tint all the way around(Rollin in the dark). Soon to be CAI, headers, and high flow cat.

    change all of your fluids, oil, oil filter, coolant, full tune up, air filter, pcv valve if needed. do a trans service as well, pan drop, filter and 8 new quarts of fluid.

    check the brake pads out. up grade to F bodys fronts if your are old and worn out. they do stop the car so much better.
