    I've had this car for almost a year now. Traded my crotch rocket for 2 grand prixs, an L67 engine and trans, and a quad.. Here are a few pics of my car. Nothing to special. Only thing I've done to the car was debadge, digital d.i.c upgrade, exhaust tips, and 2 Pontiac arrowhead stickers on the small rear windows.. everything else is completely stock until I can get some cash flow.
    This is the day I brought both grand prixs home, both had rod knocks..




    Engine rebuilt and back in..






    Need a new hood. Hit a deer a few months back. Luckily all it did was put a dent in my hood above the driver side headlight and mess up the clear coat.

    Here's a video of the exhaust at idle

    What do you guys think? It's been a great car since I've had it besides a few small problems. Next mod I wanna do is tint, but not sure how dark I want?

    Thanks. She's served her purpose for me so far without to much trouble. Only problem really left is the dreaded trac off light but it still drives good. Wish I would of kept the L67 engine that came with it so I could of top swapped, but a buddy of mine needed the engine so he gave me $600 which helped me finish my engine rebuild.

    Thanks. I rebuilt that engine as well and then I ended up selling it to my bro for $2500 and that was a downpayment for my 2010 kawasaki ninja zx10r.. I would of kept the black one instead if it would of had heads up display like my white one. But I love my car, its not the fastest but it gets me around with decent gas mileage

    I have a white 97 gt too... For tint i went 20% (i'll post pics). The tint "pops" a lot because our cars are bright white.
    here are pics some in sun and some in the garage...
    oh and nice ride.

    I know they are pretty much the same... tips are similar. I had the rears tinted for $160 and could of had the front 2 tinted for an additional $20 (but chose not to because the employee said he gets quite a few people back to have tint on front windows removed for fix-it tickets). It depends on your area, but if you have to pay more than $210 to have all your windows tinted I would look elsewhere.

    **I got mine tinted during a summer special they were running so i think i saved like $30 or something.

    I'm not sure what brand they are. I got them from my grandpas garage after he passed away and we were cleaning out hia garage. All i know is he had bought them for his trans am that he had and never got around to installing them. So I added them to mine as a little reminder of him

    And hockey, thanks for the prices, I wanna go with my fronts tinted. Cops around here are cool as hell. A lot of cars are blacked out..

    I don't know why but I really like the offset of 35% in the front and 15% in the back. Makes the front look darker all while staying legal. Baws. That's a really clean GT mayne. I have a white one also!
