Abstract:This will be an ongoing and updated list of mods for my 2004 Grand Prix GT. I've decided to not go all out on it like originally planned due to my picking up a G8 GXP 6spd manual in the spring/summer of '13 (if I can get financing). Instead I will be doing moderate modding to keep me going fast and sounding good all year round. Boosh. I bought a CBR600RR instead of a G8. Boosh.
Stock unless otherwise mentioned, anything italicized is currently pending or in the works.

History:
June 2009: Picked her up with 111,919 on the dash. Bone stock. Unfortunately no pics.
January 2010: 7 months after the purchase, pictures are taken after a car wash to rid her of the evil Minnesota salt. Still stock as can be.
June 2010: Back when she was new to the mod game with a set of regular black grilles from the stock SPO chromies.
September 2010: Photo op! Car wash + hand scrub all around + nobody home to b*tch about me parking my car on the lawn = pictures of car being very very clean.
October 2010: Lighted cupholder project pisses me off for a few days, but finally sees completion.
December 2010: Disaster strikes - ice plus a ton of nice soft snow cause unrecoverable fishtailing, and a nice big hunk of damage to the Prix. Oops. That's what full coverage is for 
January 2011: Clear sidemarkers are done to match the switchbacks that were installed somewhere back in time.
January 2011: 6000k 35w HIDs! And the goal of projectors is born.
February 2011: Black LED tails are purchased and installed for maximum reduction of exterior color. Grayscale is where it's at bishes.
May 2011: Debadge -- took until October to get pics because I'm lazy.
March 2013: TEH BREMBZ. For maximum stop.
