    I have visited this web forum on several occasions, and decided to sign up. I am not new to owning a Grand Prix, owned my 01 since 2005. Currently has 137,000 miles. Just finished replacing lower intakes, upper intakes, upper plenum, map sensor, plugs, wires valve cover gaskets. Only thing I have done to it is add red pinstripes, and added a spectre cone filter. I also took off those ugly factory exhaust tips, and replaced them with 4 in stainless round tips...huge improvement. Otherwise its stock. I have done all the work on this since we bought it, so if I can put my input on helping anyone out...have a great day.

    It's actually Nevil's Body Shop, Darrell Dailey is a good friend of my father in laws and uses the shop. My father in law has done body work for YEARS, and is very respected in the area. He usually stops in a few times a day to check Dailey's work...so rest assured your buddy's caprice is in good hands..
