    don't waste your time.

    stock coils are more than good enough. so are stock wires, just get ones with a lifetime warranty.

    get some decent copper plugs. THE END.

    X2 on the Copper Plugs. Platinum Plugs are a no no on the boosted cars. I've done the whole aftermarket wires thing and they failed. I went back to stock wires and never had any issues since.

    stock tips look good with the inside painted black and that outside tip polished like you've done there.

    A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it,

    well i picked up a set of grills from and the fitment was as bad as i thought they were going to be so my buddy came up with the idea to cut the center out of the stock ones and put the new ones in the middle, i thought they looked good so here are the pics

    Very nice deal!!

    I have a question for anyone reading this thread. Why is it, when GM put the charcoal interior in these cars, they put a light tan door seal stripping, pillar plastic, and head liner? What were they thinking? What, are they color blind or something, but even if that were so, the white would be white, and black would be black. I'm taking out my tan leather, (pretty beat up from previous owner), and putting in charcoal, but came across this and couldn't believe what I saw. Time to prep for some paint. Can't paint the door seal strippings, and hopefully I can find a different color online somewhere. Headliner, well that's an easy fix.

    Also, I thought all GTP's came with the louver hoods? Or, was it an optional hood?
