Anyways,
heres my 97 GT

Done to it
-Deleted res.
-Custom Temporary Tips
-Custom Audio

Getting done
-Mufflers (Possible full pipe replacement to 3")
-Projector headlights
-Functioning (real) Hood Scoop (The full hood)
-Pin striping and Paint touch up
-Welding passenger side strut tower
-Rockford Fosgate System
-20" - 22" rims (Maybe even stager it)
-Custom Cams
-Supercharger Kit (Stage II)
-Performance Chip (need to get a better tranny somehow because it actually can push the tranny to the limit)
and more when i do even more research and consult with my personal mechanic lol

Couple things here to help you out. First off, like mentioned, bigger rims will kill your tranny in no time. Not to mention our trannys are weak to begin with. And a good tranny rebuild will run you $1500-$2000, so hope you have the cash for that if you plan to do big rims. In my opinion, 18s are ideal. Anything bigger does not look right, nor fit very well, on a grand prix.

Not a big fan of those exhaust tips. They look very plain jane and I think the stock ones would look 100% better. But personally I like the look of my 3.5" round slash cuts.

As for mufflers or other exhaust stuff, do your performance mods first. You will get more power for the money you could spend on exhaust. The only reason to do anything to the exhaust is if you want it to sound like loud crap, or it is rusting off. Until you make big power, the stock exhaust is fine. And I don't see you making big power anytime soon.

very true^
i mean this guy was just askin for advice
and street just starts attacks lowridincrew

top swap your 97 with that vacuum controlled trans, it will be fubar'd in no time.

Yeah dude, your wheels aren't bad. It's the half red paintjob you did on the car. If your car was all one color it wouldn't look bad at all.

aww sh*t he's back?!?!?!

yea and maybe if u didnt paint your door handles too

And the rims were 1 color...

well rims are tight with two-tone
does the rims and body even match?

yea the wheels match the exact same color as the car(except for the black my car is really a dark grey metallic paint with gold flakes in it an the wheels are a flat back). Its really everyones personally thing. i got my car painted 2 tone when it was the hottest thing out to paint your whip 2 tone around my city so i got tons of props on it all the time. I like solid colors too i was going to get it painted it a solid baby blue pearl paint scheme til i got the prices on it. Im gettin a ws6 next year. Thats the color im going to paint it with white stripes. The door handles was sometin different i liked that wanted it to be different from the other two toned cars in the city. Different is sometimes better.

U seem to be mislead young skywalker . Got it done because like everyone else i liked the two tone scheme. Got the prix because its one of the hottest cars out for my budget an looks the best still to this day over alot of performance sedans in that price range. Ima stagger the ws6 might put 17's in front 18's in back or 18's all around but with a wider tire an deeper lip in the back. Gotta stay within the pontiac fam...

well we all didnt get grand prixs because everybody else was doin it
we got them because we like/love our cars
and i wouldve probly went with a white bottom imo
but pleaseeeeeee dont put 20's on that ws6!!!!
