    I joined this site and didn't log on for a while, figured I'd share my ride.


    This is my second Grand Prix. My first was a white 05 GT, I loved that car. You could definitely say I fell in love with the Grand Prix. So I was just browsing some dealerships near by cause her miles were getting up there, and I found it. My dream car. My White GXP. I'm the second owner and I couldn't be happier. She had fairly low miles, for me anyway, and she's in fantastic condition. I'm definitely going to have her for a while, I couldn't see myself having anything else. My boyfriend is a certified GM mechanic, he has a list of things he wants to do to it. Any suggestions will be forwarded to him, seeing as how I'm a girl and admittedly don't know much, except how to go fast Here's some pictures.

    Here's my OLD GP:



    When I first got my GXP:






    I've since tinted her:









    I would really like to make her sound better. I don't have the cash flow, seeing as how I'm a full time student, to put a new exhaust system, but suggestions on other alternatives would be appreciated.

    Trans cooler, shift kit and some prayers.

    TEP trans should be on the long term list.

    Very nice.

    X2 on the shift kit, trans service, and cooler. Those should be simple for your boyfriend to handle.

    I love my GXP. I honestly wouldn't want any other car, except maybe my moms BMW twin turbo 535. Next is new LED taillights, halos, and Flowmaster mufflers.

    I have a buddy who is a BMW Master tech with his own shop now. They are nice cars, but wait til the repair bills roll in....it won't matter how much faster it is then.
