SomeDude's 98 Grand Prix GT (borla exhaust clip)

[SomeDudeAtHome]

So I haven't done this yet and figured I would. Bought the car in the summer of 2009 with 28K on it. It rolled over to 28K while I was test driving it. Some old lady had it before me and the car was CLEAN. Even though I was looking for a GTP I couldn't pass this up.

Some pictures of it stock right after purchase







One year later these are all the mods I had done. Tinted tails, spyder projectors,SS chrome grills, exhaust tips, Humount and pioneer radio with ipod dock.







Next summer of 2011 I got the windows tinted to 20%, went to stock black housed headlights and eventually got rid of the SS grills







Nothing was done in 2012 but summer of 2013 i made my self a awesome pair of retros, got a CAI and did a lot of suspension upgrades.





Suspension mods can be seen in this thread. And there's more to come I have a lot of goodies on the way to finish off the suspension. ZZP LCAs, BMR front and rear lateral arms, ZZP diagnol braces, and gr-2 struts with springs that I haven't decided on yet.

Thanks. I'm not a big fan of them either but they're actually painted on and not stickers so I'm not messing with them haha. They actually had 2 little Pooh bears hanging from them on the hood and trunk but I got those painted over. Hopefully a new hood will be coming soon and that'll at least get rid of the emblem on the hood.

So I got the poly dogbone bushings, diagonal braces, and new ZZP intake installed yesterday. Really happy with the way everything turned out. The ZZP intake fits A LOT better than the Wizaired I had before. It's made incredibly well and looks real nice. I know a lot of people wouldn't spend the money on an intake like this but I like the way it looks and would much rather have one that is better made/ fits better than I had before. My previous one was pretty ghetto with the way it fit, tubing I had to use and how I had to attach the filter. The diagonal braces look much nice and I can feel the tinniest difference while driving with the bushings.

Very nice looking car.

Thanks. Trying to keep it looking nice. Being a 98 from Buffalo there's a lot of rusty parts that need replacing. But I'm slowly getting there. Gonna get new rockers, aluminum subframe, and new exhaust parts to help with those rusty things.

Just installed some GTX wheels with new Dunlop Dizerra DZ102s. Was going to go with some stock 16's but kept thinking about the GTX wheels I had and couldn't resist. Love them! Next is some gr-2s and some lowering springs.

Here's a picture of the car lowered on WBS springs. Looking at this picture I'm thinking the tint is starting to fade and turn purple which doesn't make me very happy. Buy anyway i think the car is lowered just enough for my liking. Ride is tighter but more rough which is exactly what I expected. I kind of cringe going over bumps not though.

Added a clip of my exhaust.
