Thread: New around here.

Hey all
I'm Emma, I'm from central Illinois. And I love Grand Prix.

I now own my second GP. I bought my first when I was 18 and bought a 2005 GT. I had her 28 months and put 52K miles on her. She was a good car, only problem she gave me was a broken elbow (which cracked my serpentine which was the only costly part). I always said I would cry when I got rid of her, but I didn't cause I got a better one! Sounds silly but I traded my white GP for a white GP. I now have a 2008 GXP, and I'm extremely happy with the upgrade. I thought I loved my GP before, but man do I love her. I couldn't imagine driving anything else. I will have her for quite a while. Now for some pictures

Tint coming soon.

Ugh I love the white GXPssssssss!!!!!!!!!! welcome

Thanks! I'll have to check it out.

That's my mother haha, I was taking her for a ride.

NGK TR6IX (1 heat range cooler) with MSD spark plug wires
tranny cooler/pan drop filter change with a transgo shift kit
maybe check the engine mounts and all and go poly as i did yesterday

On my to do list for sure, but honestly right now tint is my biggest priority. I'm so used to it and I feel naked without.

It's okay, not fresh but not something for concern yet.

at 60k miles its due at least a tranny pan drop and fluid change and spark plugs

I just got her Saturday, haven't really got into her as much as I'd like.

You'll see what I mean when u pull em. Also an oil catch can would be a great ideal to install and it'll help with the oil burning. But I'll stop ranting lol


What's ur plans for the car besides daily driving and tint

Any advise helps, cars aren't my forte.
I'm not looking to make too many cosmetic changes just yet. I plastidipped the crap out of my 05 (rims, tail lights, head lights, badges, hood).
My old rims were aluminum with black dip, I think I'll keep the chrome for a while, but eventually purchase some black rims.
I also had put in a kicker 6 speaker/deck system, this had Monsoon, and I like it better. I'll probably get some HIDs and LED tails.
