yeah much better than stupid peel and stick riceroni ones

Kate- Pretty sure thats the bumper from eBay. Because that's the one I got lol. I was worrying about the arrowhead...but it looks better I think without it than with it.
I wish I could find a GP at a junk yard thats worthy of taking parts off. My local one only has completely trashed GP's.

this is One of mine in town
the blue circle is the pontiac section, about half are 97-03 GP's

i love how the ebay bumpers have no arrow head....hows the quality on those ebay bumpers mine is fukked and i wanna shave that arrow headOriginally Posted by Kate
The new front end of my SE. I just ordered blue HID bulbs for my fog lights and am in the process of attempting to clean up my headlights until I can afford the ones I want. Just like all the rest of the GPs my headlights get that milky, cloudy thing going on.

Hmm, wheres this junk yard located.
09-08-2009
Honestly it feels more solid than the one I pulled off. Less flimsy.
Great condition. Got mine shipped and primed for $123.xx off eBay. Had a friend paint if for cheap.
Well worth it lol

Actually I didn't get it off Ebay. I got it from a local parts store where I have a few friends. The company deals in Ebay type parts and I get them crazy cheap. And my rear bumper wound up being a reman but both are great. The new front bumper is better quality than the original factory one on my GP!
I got both bumpers and a front fender for $145 total.

Well from what I can see in the pics you had some serious rust on those rocker panels, but in my opinion you've done an excellent job in addressing the rust. I hope your car turns out looking great, good as new. Thats some tedious work, my hats off to ya.
09-09-2009
You got the 3800?
09-09-2009
Me? Yeah.
And the rust is just on the sides now at the bottom under the door. Not really spreading thankfully.
09-09-2009
dont worry it will... give it time.. lol.. seal em up NOW before they get bad.. mine are so bad and old they have dirt packed in them..
09-09-2009
I don't really know how to tackle the sides though. I have no good junk yard sources to get good non rusted ones.
Do I need welding equipment? I don't have access to that...
09-09-2009
yeah in order to FIX them , you'd need to cut these ones out, weld in new ones ($50 per side for parts) then paint etc..
whole job costs a crap ton to do..
my solution: remove as much as i can of the rust, spray down with a rust preventer/paint then from the junkers attach GT/GTP side skirts ( dont know how yet) and bam, rust problem solved...
most GP's out there that are winter driven have this problem, SE or not.. the diff is the GT/GTP people dont see it becuase of the plastic side skirting!
09-09-2009
hmmm. I'll keep that in mind. When you figure that part out, you should definitely let me know.
09-09-2009
when i figure that part out i will be taking tons of pics, lol..
ive got all the parts i need as far as plastics and metal pieces etc.. im thinking my old friend JB Weld may come out to play lol gotta love super powered adhesives
09-10-2009
also...thinking about dechroming the trim around my door's windows and stuff...possible debadging everything besides maybe the grand prix badge on the trunk as well.
Thoughts?
and I've decided to get the carbon fiber euro altezza tails in case anyone cares. probably won't be for a few weeks though. Gotta pay back my debt from this much so far... lol

Looks great now. Good work.
09-10-2009
the SE trim is desirable.. its nice.. im keeping mine!
09-10-2009
Only thing is I'm not that kind of person that likes shiny stuff lol
I like that darker look. So I think I'd like it dechromed and such. I wish painting my car wouldn't be so damn expensive. I want a real nice black on it or a real dark charcoal gray type color.
09-12-2009
I think a charcoal type color would be fantastic. Totally unique and very gorgeous.
