Well i guess here is where it all begins.

traded for my GT about 4 months ago.

2000 Grand Prix GT, coupe, dark blue with tan interior
167K on the dash and a laundry list of things that needed work
-coolant leak
-drivers window motor seized
-no engine cover
-cracked windshield
-non matching wheels
-fog light missing

so far here is what i have done

-new window regulator and motor
- new fog lights
- painted wheels( half way complete)
-painted dog bones, mounts, engine cover
- Home made intake with Spectre filter


Spectre intake was pretty cool. filter was $40 from Advances Auto, 45* 4 to 3" PVC plumbing piece, then painted

now i know someone will say why go from 4" to 3 and back to 4???
well the answer is this piece has the smooothest internal design that i saw. everything else i saw had a ridge or a lip somewhere in the inside that would have caused more turbulence. bottom line? it was MY preference.. lol

let me know what you guys think?
