New From Hawaii and new to cars

**PaintballZach** · 03-17-2013

How's it going everyone! My name is Zach and i own a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. I am the second owner of the car and was wondering what things i could do to the car like external and under the hood. im new to cars and everything so im not to sure what the limits are. ATM im at work but when i get home i will be able to post some pictures of my car and some things i can already think of doing. Maybe later on ill be asking questions in this thread if i cant find answers! im really excited and lets hope this end up good!

Welcome!

First off, I hate you and I wish I was in Hawaii right now haha

Second, read the safely modding your 3800 thread. That will give you a good start and idea on where to go with modding performance wise.

Aesthetically, check out the members rise threads and look at everyone's cars. That will give you ideas on the options out there for you.

We hope you enjoy your stay

As far as places to buy from, several vendors are located at the bottom on the main page.
Those that are not are PFYC.com, ZZPerformance.com, Intense-Racing.com, and several others. I know most will ship to the lower 48, but you will have to check and see which will ship out to Hawaii.

You should take some pics, make a Members Ride Thread for your car and we can all share in the progress.

I spent a week on north shore of Oahu last summer. Getting on the plane to come back to Ohio was the hardest thing i ever had to do. Great weather, beautiful scenery. I'll definitely be going back!

**barnettimpala** · 03-22-2013

Ha I'm on Oahu as well. Been trying to get a group of w-body owners together out here for awhile.
You don't happen to have a white gtp and go to LCC do you? LOL because that would be a coincidence
