Thread: 2005 gp gt - i'm a teen

Hey guys, Th'Names' Nick. My very first car was a 2002 Grand Prix SE, but i didn't quite like the old body style look, so i got a 2005 Grand Prix GT. I really want to change a lot on the car to make it look unlike any others.

Current Modifications:

Pioneer Head Unit
Replaced rear speakers
Two 12" Kenwood Subs w/ 800 Watt Amp

Future modifications (Hopefully):

Tint windows
Tint tail lights
LED Headlights -- Retrofitting
LED bars that pulse with subs bass under seats -- Maybe
Aftermarket Wheels/Rims
Modify hood
(more soon)


Now time for PICTURES

Nice car!

Tint always looks great on silver paint.

Good luck with the sunroof install.

Kill the LED ideas. It makes you look young and stupid! Plus it's distracting and can cause you to wreck or get tickets. Bass lights are a thing of the past. Yes I once had one too, 10-12 years ago.

Nice to see more teenagers coming into the forum - nice ride!

(And avatar. )

idk about the sunroof install, it will more than likely leak and mad expensive

sunroof is a bad idea.
lol.
but if you really want it go for it!

if you reallllly want a sunroof just trade ur gp in for one that has one and go from there

Nick's don't do silly lights.

If you do.

You can't join the club.

Tint Windows / Tails
Ignore the headlights, if you want custom go retro (http://www.grandprixforums.net/04-pr...fit-36506.html)
get wheels/tires (http://www.grandprixforums.net/got-s...ere-29622.html)
read before purchasing so you know what to look for ^^^
Buy SE Lip
Buy SPO Grills
Lower

in that order if you just want appearance mods. It will set your car apart the most. A hood and 4x4 stance with aftermarket wheels will not look as nice as a clean flush low wide stance will.

Example
Stock

Mods I listed (minus the retro headlights)

Notice the lip on the bumper. It is subtle, but makes a HUGE difference. ^^^Special Edition Lip, a little pricey, but so worth it.

And for the love of GOD do NOT consider a body kit for the car, simple is clean, clean is king

I live in Oklahoma... what is this winter you speak of?

I really don't know how they handle on snow, what little snow I do get is layered on slick as snot ice and the car handles like slick poo on ice, as do most cars. I don't think lowering would really bother it any, unless you went extreme.
Most of the people on this forum seem to do ok, Drunkie has a 04+ and it is lowered to the EXTREME and he drove it in the snow lowered I think, but he later bought a AWD Saab so the GP could stay in the garage. PM him and he could probably give you an idea on how they handle on snow.

Alright thanks. I will be looking into lowering it, for sure
