    Hey ladies and gents...

    I'm new to EVERYTHING... LOL!!! I know< I'm a chick who has really fallen in love with my car ( I never knew I would get into modding)!!! Six months ago I just purchased an all black/ black leather seats and power everything 98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP coupe and after driving a friend's whip... Im like yea I need to fix mine up. Don't know much about the previous owner but I do know everything is all stock. I recently had to get my rear strut tower welded and new rear and front strut mounts and all around brand new struts. I also had some problems with the windshield wipers and had to replace the wiper switch and both the driver and passenger side window regulator and motor. I'm scheduled to update my audio system this Saturday. The overall interior and body is pretty descent but I do want to do some light mods... nothing to heavy cause I will be driving it for everyday commute, but I don't know where to start. I have noticed that when I accelerating my car seems to pull or jerk like its working to hard to get up speed and I have a small evap leak which I'm looking into also...

    there's a lot of great minds on this site so feel free to give me some advice and good links on where to start.
    I'll try to post pics as I go...

    Intake & Downpipe then right after get some brakes & a decent suspension. From a fun factor suspension is the best mod!
