    Hey guys. I figured I'd put up some future plans for my car and see how you guys thought it'd turn out. Right now it's bone stock, and I don't want to do all of this without some input on how it might look. So, here goes.

    My GP is white, with stock alloy wheels. I plan on going with a white-on-black theme.

    Mod #1: Tinted windows. Close-to-black rears, dark-as-legal front ones.
    Mod #2: Ordering inlays [Black Arrowhead inlay, black lettering inlays]
    Mod #3: Wheels. Up the rim size a bit, make them black. Brake calipers are being painted red this week.
    Mod #4: HID headlights, LED brakelights. (Probably tinting head/taillights)
    Mod #5: Probably going to debadge the car, along with throwing a 'Pontiac' across the windsheild.
    [In the future, I may also throw a new hood on the car.]

    Now, it's not a huge transformation, only 5 mods; however, I feel that they're going to give the car a whole new look and feel. I wanted to get some input on what you guys think, and any changes/additions to make it look better.

    I'll be adding photos as I start putting the changes on the car.

    STOCK:




    Piggy snouts!! Don't worry, I've got 'em polished!


    More to come!

    Your car does not have the SE appearance package so doing anything to it to make it stand out is just going to look silly.

    Reflective Concepts is the place to go to for overlays/inlays.
    They are awesome to deal with, free shipping, and lifetime warranty!

    All the appearsnce alterations sound good except, Pontiac across your windshield. I just think it looks tacky personally, but to each his own.

    You know what you should do is buy this High Velocity Intake to make your car have a little more umph. Takes like 30 minutes install and will you give you nice increase in power. I have one sitting in the garage I'm trying to get rid of.

    Came in the mail today.. $6 never looked so good. It does have a few bubbles in it..the instructions say some of them will work themselves out, but by chance they don't, anybody have any tips/tricks to get them out? (And yes, I do realize the car is VERY dirty.)

    Maybe I'll pass on that one then..nobody seems to take too much of a liking to it. Anyway, anybody know the paint code for a white GP?
