    Hey everyone, just dawned on me that I haven't made a members rides post yet(that I can recall) so I figured I would make one. I have not been on this name very long, but I was here previously under a different name that I cannot remember. Without further ado...I present the history of Knightmare.....
    My First ever GP...a 97 GT....
    When I first got it home...


    When I had put some appearance work into it....







    This is how it ended........





    Ins company totaled it...

    GP #2:

    a 1998 GTP:




    Ended with a bad transmission and frustration...car had many "little issues" as well...sunroof did not work..sunroof leaked...had a bad cowl leak that left water on my floor boards every time it rained...my transmission went out one night...drove up to LKQ autoparts in PA picked up a used one...got it back here only to realize that the electronic connector was busted and put back in to look as though it was not broken....I got tired of dealing with the headache...sold it...bad tranny and all...

    GP #3....another 97 GT...got it for a steal...thanks to people who did not know anything about their car apparently

    Before I sold the GTP...I stumbled across a "1997 Grand Prix GTP" that was not running....they wanted 1100 for it....

    Thinking that maybe I could pick this up and yank the transmission out...I went to look at it...
    Found out that it was not in fact a GTP..and that one day..the car "just shut off" and would not run again..talked them down to 700..
    Got it home and found out it had a bad sending unit..so they ran it out of gas...got gas in it and it ran like a champ...
    dirty..dirty:



    Cleaned up:



    This car...well the only reason I don't have it is because I was stupid..I'll leave it at that lol...

    Nice collection of GPs there Knightmare. Projectors and my SD Hood will look great on your car. In the meantime slap some tint on that thing!

    I am assuming that you are referring to the one I got for 700? If so, I was dumb...having a hard time financially thanks to a bunch of bad decisions..took out a title loan that I could not afford to pay back...I'd imagine that the car is still running....damn shame I was so stupid at that point in life....buttttt...if I was not..I probably would not have my GTP..so in the end, all is well haha.

    Don't waste money on the air dam...crappy fitment and gap issues kill it.

    SD wing/hood/paint, sure.

    Find some roof rails as well...that'll help tons.

    Personally not a fan of the SE lip on this generation makes the car a bit to aggressive and then the rest of the car lacks. I vote new hood, roof rails
    Squirrels are my engine. I need a Ford Regal
