i did my GP on a high school budget

**JoRoW99** · 07-29-2012

I top swapped after my freshman year of college. If i were you, I would just skip all your future mods except tint and HIDs and go turbo.

**gtpeddie** · 07-29-2012

yep i agree! ^ turbo is the way to go especially since your N/A you dont have to go through all the top swap process and you'll make more HP with turbo

**01GTLAK** · 07-29-2012

That has come up in my mind too. Ill see what options i have later down the road.

**Btownmills** · 07-29-2012

Save the money and turbo. I'm in high school right now and make like $170 a week. You could have a turbo in around 4 months if your in the same boat.

**Logan541** · 07-29-2012

hit up ebay for the LEDs you can score a bargain if your patient got mine for $90 shipped, good luck got my power slot rotors from tire rack

Posting more pictures on..
Laminexed Fog lights yellow...turned out pretty decent.

Cold air intake...yes i know, still slow.]

[A picture of my gloss black dash.]

[Polished tips and clear coated them a while back...black on them right now, simple green takes it right off]

Oh and to all of you, on the PRND indicator by the shifter, i took some rubbing alcohal and rubbed off the matte finish and made it gloss, it looks a lot better than the rough matte clear finish that comes factory.

**E IN v Y** · 08-11-2012

lol at the title.
Looks legitimate boss.

**winterstorm** · 08-11-2012

take off the rest of the stock airbox from the intake then you can put a bigger cone filter on there

**01GTLAK** · 08-12-2012

That one kinda looks familiar....

**01GTLAK** · 08-12-2012

Yeah, same old slow pontiac...

**01GTLAK** · 09-07-2012

UPDATE: HIDS in! 6k HID installed. $150 free install with lifetime warranty but the people screwed up and they added low and high beam HIDs. I showed up and they gave me the bill of $322...i said no, i just wanted low beam for $150. They ended up giving me Low and High beam HID for 150 dollars. Possible pictures up later tonight.

thats just wat I need cuz the finish is coming off so I will definitely try that later...and your tips are exactly like mine except that the black on mine is cleaner and glossier
