    well, heres a list of what things should never be on a grand prix because our cars are much too prestigious for all this:
    your all welcome to add to this

    1) 2 foot tall wings (obvious)
    2) Fart can mufflers straight outta pep boys (sadly saw this the other day)
    3) Body kits
    4) 20 inch rims
    5) Strobe lights
    6) Obnoxious sound systems
    7) stickers for import companies
    8) vinyls
    9) Stick on vents and hood scoops
    10) Carbon fiber hoods, or spoilers (unless painted)
    11) Lambo doors

    sound systems are too much weight! and body kits i dont like except for like small things like sd air dams and stuff big rims are bad for performance because it makes it harder to hook up. and no i havent seen the inferno kit, show me what it is...
    PS. this is kind of just a joke. please dont take any of this to heart if you have any of these things

    In most cases, yes. But I have seen a rare few that aren't so bad.
    9) Stick on vents and hood scoops
    Don't see anything wrong with these if you go the extra few steps to make them functional.
    10) Carbon fiber hoods, or spoilers (unless painted)
    I've seen some cars that can pull it of and look good, but I've also seen ones that look like crap.
    This one has a V8.
    Why not just make a V6 faster?

    I don't think 20" rims are bad as long as they're TASTEFULLY PICKED.
    20" Bullitt or another racing wheel, yes.
    Dubs, Dropstars and Giovannas, NO.
    Signatures suck!

    there was a black gtp with a single exhaust & fartcan on it, he lives a couple of towns away from me but, he cut out that PONTIAC writing on his bumper and its just a single fart can. His seems pretty fast thought, I saw him pull out onto a highway and he spun 1st and 2nd gear and the most torque steer ive ever seen lol. to be honest it sounds pretty good, and i like carbon fiber hoods as well.

    big wheels arent bad for performance because there hard to hook, if anything they would hook better because well, there putting more rubber on the pavement. there heavy and they tear up trannies. if your gonna ride big wheels, dont be flooring it everywhere.

    WS6 hood....its not a trans am, no matter how hard you want it to be
    Red calipers....its not a corvette, handles like an elephant on roller skates
    altezza taillights...its not a toyota altezza (lexus IS300), only car they look good on
    the fake lund hood scoops...do you really wanna be like every hillbilly who puts them on his ram?
    thats all i can think of right now, im sure there are others

    yes yes yes haha.... but please keep in mind this is really only something to joke around with.. just other peoples opinions on stuff which we all know there will be MANY!

    as for me im more of the straight up dont change the look TOO MUCH from stock guy, i like things like sd bumpers and slp spoilers and sd hoods to modify the looks. i like ta keep it classy... AND BLACKED OUT.

    But Pontiac put those red calipers on mine......guess I'd better take them off.....don't want to be confused with a wannabe Corvette.

    yea not bad, dont really like the rims all that much. but still... not bad. i am more of a fan of the 97-03 gp's honestly so i really cant be the judge of this

    CompG GTPs had them as well, but I knew what you were getting at.

    And as far as Lund scoops are concerned; I wouldn't go so far as to say not to use them, but if they are used they should be made functional and molded onto the hood.

    Just because I painted my calipers red doesn't mean I thought it would handle like a corvette.

    agreed with the ws6 hood statement No offense to anyone but IMO it looks out of place and ugly, sorry if you have one.

    I have a black car with many red items. Its just a theme that I decided to go with. Underglow, grill, calipers, pontiac inserts front/rear, interior lights, engine bay items.
