    Afaik there is only one body kit for these cars and it looks like ass. SD lip is as close as anyone should come to putting a body kit on there car. Although there is a company that makes a kit to make the cars look like the GPX prototype but it costs like $1500.

    He'd be better off shaving the ribs off his bumper and putting on a SD air dam. It looks a million times better than that.

    While I like your brother's enthusiasm, he should shy away from putting body kits on GTP's. If he really wants something he can throw a body kit on, he should trade his car for something else. :P

    This.

    There's little we can do except tell you to show him this thread and the rampant disapproval of the idea of a body kit and hope he will come to his senses and either dump the car for a different one, or keep it and limit his body modifications to tasteful ones.

    In the event of a lack of senses to come to, you tell that sucka he's actin' a foo' for wantin' to put a jive*** shell on his ride, yo.

    Anyway, back to being suburban white.

    the only way body kits work are if youre excessively slammed. 22s are not going to work with a body kit.

    and that's all besides the point because all the body kits are fuggo to the max.

    The only body kit that looks good for these cars are the SD kit from pfyc or the F1 kit from mpd. Everything else looks like **** that has been rolled in **** then someone **** on it.

    lmfao! and this is what I told him to get

    Grand Prix F.1 Style or SD Appearance Package - GPEXT - PFYC.com

    When he comes over again, ima shove it in his face. Somebody about 5 miles away from me has 2 grand prixs with the lights and custom hood and they have 22's but look nice as hell. If my bro gets a kit im going to hit him the eye and take the car back, I might get my ass whooped but thats besides the point lol

    I have a dream. And that dream is to trade my car for a Honda Civic. It will be a ricey, body-kitted nightmare of a civic. And in my great love, I will restore that civic to its former Asian economic glory. It will de-rice that Civic into a respectable A to B car. All shall be well in the world.
