    well, time to start over again. It's okay though, definitely not a bad platform to start from. Pics of the new GP i'll be picking up Monday...list of upcoming mods:
    -2.5" ZZP catless SS DP from TDCRacing
    -ported mani's from DanGTP
    -K&N or Wizaired CAI

    Thanks Scotty! Only problem is it's a series III 3800 and im not finding many mechanical mods, mostly exhaust stuff and a few PCMs here or there. Gen V s/c the only way to go? Maybe 1.9 rr's with a tune would be a lil cheaper?

    Most everything made for the Series II is going to work for it.

    thanks man! This is the first 3800 ive ever had so im pretty excited about the modding potential of the car. the only thing i hate about black is it scratches so easily, or rather, any blemishes show up easily. It's like the black showcases any imperfections. anyone with a black car have any suggestions on how to protect the paint from all the sh*t that happens to a DD car?

    I had a black truck (the paint in that picture was just over 10 years old). Keep it waxed and some sort of other protectant on it. I like to use Turtle Wax Ice on my car now. The only black part on my current car is the tail panel, but Ice turns it into a perfect mirror.

    PBSS made it for me, but he added it to our NAIOA store.

    You'd probably want to contact him for it to be modified for Series III.

    Why, hell yes!Of course, lol. Ive actually heard that the newer GPs dont handle as well as the 97-03 GPs, seem to have more body roll from what other ppl are saying. So lowering her is definitely in the future plans....thanks for all the compliments guys, by the way...

    Got it! Shes sitting in the driveway right now, looking all kindsa sexy. Has a few swirl marks here and there, but the motor is strong and it rides like a dream. There's a saying among detailers..."Only fools and professionals own black cars." Always wanted a black car and a 3800...sounds effed up but i think totalling my other car was the best thing to happen to me in a long time. See u guys at BGPM!
