    I bought my car in march of 2012 from a lady right down the street that bought it new. It is my first Pontiac. I love this car so much.
    When I first got it:
















    The first thing I got was new head lights

    It looks like you got yourself a pretty clean GTP there. I'm personally not a fan of painting interior parts or generally just modifying original interiors at all. But other than that It looks pretty sharp.

    Well they are just decals so if I get tired of them I can just peel them off.

    i say remove the interior stickers.

    The engine bay is clean, but you could use an intake for more WHINE.

    interior stickers look tacky. But car looks decent. Cept the *gas door* stripes. Leave em for the fenders. Clean looking car. I say add a CAI and diff tips and it will look great.

    Im thinking of taking off the decals and painting the interior trim. I would just sand it with like 2000 grit and paint them and clear coat right? I already took off the stripes on the gas door.
    I am going to try to make an intake next weekend.

    I will look at yours
    I want to paint the dash trim, vents, plastic around the door switches, the top of the center console, and all of the speaker bezels. I might not do all of that.

    Car looks good! Like the plasti dipped door guard alot. Id do the front and rear facias with plasti dip if I were you. Maybe black mirrors too. Do you plan on new tail lights in the near future?

    Tinting them is a good short term fix. If I were you I would take your time on them. And be sure to use the tint and wetsand and clear and wetsand and such. I did that and they turned out a very nice glossy black and looked darker than they really were. That should hide the moisture issue I think.
