yea i hear ya man my car is not perfect either its a daily driver, as it should be its a grand prix lol. but i know what you mean i see some people on here and there cars a super clean like they don't drive them its crazy make me feel like my rides nothing sometimes haha

Yeah you don't have to worry about that lol. I always wanted a white grand prix. I like how you painted your rims to match the car. I wanted a grand prix so bad, I didn't care what color it was lol.

yea i got mine from my friend whose a car dealer i didn't even want a Grand Prix at first but he said you'll like it trust me i said man i don't know, then one day he pulled up out front and he said come out i wanna show you something so we drove it around and i liked it alot. he said ill give it to you for what i paid for it witch was cheap IMO $1600. i wouldn't of bought it if it wasn't a GTP though lol. and i think the fact it was a white coupe with black leather is what made me want it. but im happy i bought a Grand Prix i really like it never expected to go this far with it though.

That's a steal. I paid twice as much as that for mine and it has rust on the rockers but it isn't showing.....yet. I just hope to get my money back out of it if I do sell it. You made the right decision, especially for that price. When I was looking for a grand prix, I would search craigslist everyday, then find one and go look at it and it would be a pile of junk. I even looked at an SE. It had over 200,000 miles and they wanted $3,000 for it. I don't know why but they are very hard to find in good shape. Yours looks like it's in great shape. For that price, I would have ended up with a car with a bad motor/high miles/beater. lol.

what is the button for on your gear shifter? i dont have one on my 02 GTP.

**dsmuts** · 05-10-2012

Performance shift.

**jer206** · 05-10-2012

I thought that button was traction control? I don't have one but I have seen those buttons on sunfires and it controlled the tc. There is a tc button in the info center tho.

Yea it is a performance shift

**gtpeddie** · 05-10-2012

demel and hand sanding its a lot of work im still on 80 grit, i pretty much have all the casting knocked off so its almost all smooth after im done with 80 it should start to get eiser, because i moved up to 120 in one spot and i could see it was getting easier IMO

haha thanks man! and i would but its a lot of work lol it will probably take me 40+ hours to complete, but if you decide to do it invest in a dremel if you don't have one it helps alot!

It's comin along nicely man! Keep it up! All of your hard work will pay itself off with the thumbs up you'll get afterwards. Your hands may not like you for a few days, but whatever right!
