Nates Grand prix GT!

**natethegreat** · 11-03-2011

hey, id thought i show off my not so vibrant grand prix gt! haha well here are some pics of when i first bought it.

i know, i need to work on the headlights. i cant decide if i should buy a dremel and use that to sand, or just use normal sand paper?

Installed a new headunit, pretty proud i did it without help.

Debadged it today, this is before.

after

It still had residue after i took the adhesive off, so i used some turtles adhesive remover. Before

After

My brake calipers look terribe, thinking im gunna get the dremel witha wire wheel and go at it, then just get a kit to paint them.

Well thats all for now folks! More to come!

Then you can haz brand spakin new headlight that are awsome.

Otherwise, car looks good, needs a good washing tho.

**natethegreat** · 11-03-2011

yeah, im thinkin i want HID's, but well see haha, and yeah, i took it through the car wash but that lasted maby a week. i really need to do a handwashing with clay and wax and all that fun stuff haha.

**Fivefingerdeathpunch** · 11-03-2011

get new headlight housings befor HIDs, cuz then you'll still have ****ty housings.

**natethegreat** · 11-03-2011

good point, well guess i found the next thing to spend money on!

**natethegreat** · 01-31-2012

Well i ended up sliding in slush and hitting a guard pole, and it smashed my cover and my light and knocked the side molding off.

The side molding is all rusted out so it sags, so i really need to find some more.

a guard rail jumped out infront of me earlier this winter... and it did similar damage but creased both my doors i got both doors fender and headlights for 200 bucks of a gp on craigslist... i still need a bumper. it didnt get your hood at all did it? goodluck fixing it.

**natethegreat** · 02-01-2012

yeah, i think i lucked out. i hit the pole and went over it, took it out of the cement. Trying to find a Bumper and sideskirts but not having much luck.

Moar pics! Got her washed real good today. and polished/waxed by hand the hood to see if i could get some marks out. It looks Alot better!

BEFORE!

AFTER!

**natethegreat** · 02-03-2012

Thought i would add a bit more thought out mod list.

Stuff that will happen most likely sooner than later:

HIDS (Bought new housings as my others were smashed)
OBD2 Bluetooth for torque android app (Does this show KR)?
Intake (doing this in the next week)
tinted tails
strut brace
rear sway bar
poly mounts
intense pcm tune

Maby stuff
SD headers/PLOG u-bend delete, I cant decide what i want to do here, as of now ive decided i wont do a top swap but will instead just get a gtp, but for now, i cant decide. How hard is it to weld the SD headers so their not leaky?
HV3

Now im trying to keep everything so i can take it off, so when i do get my gtp, i can just transfer it over.

Thoughts??

**natethegreat** · 02-05-2012

Ended up making an intake!!

was a huge PITA To do but finally got it done, first "real" mod.

**dpzelenak** · 02-05-2012

**natethegreat** · 02-05-2012

**DanPrixGTP** · 02-05-2012

Where's you're IAT sensor?

**natethegreat** · 02-05-2012

Not in there in that pic, it was right after i got the intake on, i drilled a hole in the pvc for it now.

**GrandprixGT01** · 02-05-2012

How does that sound now with the intake?

**natethegreat** · 02-05-2012

Sounds pretty good. has quite a bit of whine and when you punch it it sounds louder.

Got my new headlights!!

Before:

After:

Pretty happy with them, but it looks i might need to aim them or put the old brackets on the new lights.
