Naturally inspired Grand Prix 3.8 mods?

[Pontiac Cali Guy]

Why is it so hard to find mods,body kits, interior kits, ECT. for the standard 3.8 Grand Prix? Is anyone else having this issue?

read the safely modding your 3800 thread in the gen tech section. /thread

because they arent popular cars in the modding scene and never will be. thank the lord they arent very popular or we'd have a ton (already do, kinda) of riced out crap wbodies out there.

Your Grand Prix was inspired by nature? I think you mean Naturally Aspirated.

Best advice your gonna get my friend either,
A. Sell it and buy a GTP
B. Do a topswap
C. buy a turbo kit and transmission if you can afford it.

Or just get a honda, Mods are easy to come by.

Inspired eh? That must have extra high compression. lol

LOL riced out. always one hater no matter what forum I'm on. Anyways I'm not looking to "rice" out my AMERICAN CAR. I was just looking to add a few bolt on's. I have a Firebird with 500+HP for speed along with an Old School. Anyways thanks for the info 01GTP

i dont think he was saying that you intend on ricing out your car. he was merely saying that if gp were more popular to mod then we would have a ton more riced out cars.

pics of firebird? unless it has a body kit

I agree and thats why i got the base model, GP just look good no matter whats under the hood. I just want an intake of some sort but all seem to not bolt up or illegal due to CA damn strict smog regulations. I ordered the rear valance to change it from single to dual (mainly for looks) but will have to figure out what mufflers to go with as I dont want it sounds like crap. This is just my cruiser, I removed the stock radio and installed the Pioneer double din CD,MP3,DVD, ECT unit, looks really good. Then I added some MB Quart subs and what not. And even though my ride is a little bumpy at times I love the way the 20's look on it. Hopefully I'll find something that I can order and bolt on just for a few more HP, if not thats okay as well.

Double Din? Did you modify your dash?

[matt5112]

TOG headers are CARB approved.

K&N intake is CARB approved as well.

[Pontiac Cali Guy]

No need to modify the dash they have a dash kit makes it looks factory. I added the parking bypass so movies can be watched while driving (passenger of course lol). The unit comes with the options of add on Navi which I got. It also comes with the wiring harness so you dont lose your steering wheel controls. The only option I lost was the radio staying on until I open my door which was no biggie. FYI Double Din is just a size of the unit, Google it for the best answer.

[matt5112]

he said he has a base model which implies 04+ which means factory is a double din.

[Pontiac Cali Guy]

Matt5112 I read that article very in depth research for sure. I went to a few sites and tried to oder the KN but it doesnt list my year or states it wont ship to CA. Maybe I'm just missing something I D K.

[KeithGTP03]

I know what a double din is. Ive never seen one that'd fit in a GP unless you drop your climate controls a few inches....Are you sure you dont have a flip up.

[KeithGTP03]

he said he has a base model which implies 04+ which means factory is a double din.

Ahhhh.

[Pontiac Cali Guy]

No flip up here. I plan on adding some pictures here real soon of the car.

[matt5112]

looks like the K&N is 04/05 only with the carb approval.
