    So some of you may be familiar with this, but about a year back I spotted a 2001 SE Grand Prix, which is how I got my roof rails for $15 and SE spoiler for $30...









    Well today lightning struck twice as I spotted a white GP in the far back. When I walked over I saw a strange blue badge on the door. When it hit me... HOLY **** IT'S A LIMITED EDITION!!!! Checked the interior and sure as ****, leather and cloth. Rear still had the spoiler so I went to work grabbing that first. Then once that was off I snatched the badges, "Grand Prix" door jam stickers, and of course the Limited Edition gauge cluster.








    Back at home



    Test fitting the spoiler








    Here's the kicker. Badges, free. Door jam stickers, free. Spoiler, $40. Gauges, $10

    Had the SE spoiler up for sale about a week and a half ago. Sold it. The hood pic was taken a day prior to me going to go pick it up. When I went to pick it up someone had taken the scoops, so there was no real point anymore

    A LOT OF PRYING AND CUTTING! Don't know why, but Pontiac went nuts on the adhesive on both the SE and LE spoilers. Unlike the stock spoiler that pops off with a gentle tug haha

    Yeah haha. Sharp tools and patience :P

    Oh, and motivation haha.. Which I had loads of seeing how cheap I was getting it for


    Anyhow, I went ahead and painted it today. Just rattle can for temp until the weather gets better to do a legit paint job on it. In my opinion, it looks titties like this. It's amazing what paint will do. Talk about agressive! Def will stand out from all the whale tail, GenII guys
