    if its a 3.8 dont do exhaust. look in the visual mod sections do reading in there a lot of stuff to take in. most common is tint, inlays, and someother stuff. make sure you read this though

    oh some will say the 3.1 sounds good with some mufflers no need for a cat back really. but personally im not a big fan of exhaust on these cars except the gxp

    then you never heard a 3100 done right,

    to the op what are you looking to spend? how far you looking to go? basicly get a 3400 tb, make an intake, headers. if you want to go further then theres 3400 topswap, 3500 topswap

    Matt he has a 02 he doesnt need the front bumper all gps after 01 had the same front bumper.
    And do not ruin the car with a ****ty body kit. Just get the gt/gtp rear bumper and side skirts plus the dual exhaust cat back get yourself another flowmaster 40 and another tip.
