    Not stupid. SLOW. I wanted to make it look slower on the outside.

    you've got the two concepts confused. you're talking about stupid, not slow.

    stupid is a bunch of stickers, stick on vents, wrong badges, busted parts.

    slow is....stock.

    I think you should leave the exterior completely stock. Don't add badges. Don't dent it. Maybe steelies but I would just leave it. Spend nothing on the outside. The only way to make it look slower than stock is SE trim ie, no spoiler, catfish nose, hubcaps

    so you ask for peoples opinions, but yet ridicule them for giving exactly what you wanted? stock = slow. if you put those cheesy vents on the side you should be stripped of your vehicle and kicked out of the grand prix world lol

    Yeah stock is slow but making the outside of the car look like shiz and then blowing peoples doors off will take them off guard for the ultimate sleeper effect.

    Right now mine is just that. It used to look like the car in my profile pic but right now I got both side skirts off showing the silver paint underneath from the crappy paint job and showing a good amount of rocker rust. The front is a factory GT bumper painted a rattlecan blue that doesnt match the rest of the car that has scratches in it and has black rattle can stripes on it. 3 of the wheels currently on it are the 16" American racing Casino wheels with the centers plastidipped to give the chrome lip effect (I know I'll catch alot of crap from bio for it lol) and the other one is a black steelie with a studded snow tire. Why you ask I am running the wheels like that? Because two of the tires have significant leaks and one was so bad I took it off and threw it in the trunk to sag the ass of the car even more, and currently it has two matching tires, one of the other ones has a junkyard tire, and the other is the steelie which also came from the junkyard.

    Do I want to run the car like this? Hell no I hate it, everyone thinks I'm some poor ghetto mexican (no offense anybody) rolling around with my car like that. But because of it no one thinks my car is fast at all, so people are surprised as hell when they hear the supercharger blow their doors off. Now I dont like racing on the snow tire but hell its there until I get it fixed and everything.

    Don't ruin your car. Like everybody said, stock is slow...no point to go waste money on useless **** like this when it could be used for more parts in the engine . Anyone I race/ have raced all thought my car was slow since its 4door fwd and just a grand prix...not debadged and only exterior mods to it is the hid's but everything else is stock. It even has the factory 5spokes in 04... it's your car, do what you will...we're just sayibg it doesn't sound like the best idea.
