Thread: New 40th owner

I'm new and was wondering what your opinions were on what I should do to my new toy/DD

Here's some pictures of it














Sorry about pic whoring, I'm just really excited about being new to the GP world

Yeah it was definitely a big selling point. And thanks hopefully I keep out of the b/s I see on this forum :/ there seems to be a good amount of E-thugs, and drama.

And thanks, I planned on getting rid of the sticker and getting a front plate but I figured I'd just post as is. Tint will look damn good though

That'll get you off to a good start.

This.

and possibly new tires.

Those ones look like they might be on the verge of needing replacing just due to their discolouration which suggests age which means they'll be mighty stiff and not sticky.

Congrats on the buy! Looks like you have a good foundation to start with.

I would suggest one of the aftermarket grilles the chrome ones go so well with the dark cherry metallic.

Heres some pics of my 40th to give you an idea:

IMO, grills and wheels are not a good match

To the OP, DOT says your tires are either 4 or 5 years old.

Either way, time for some new rubber!

thought the 40ths had special rims? like the other one.

They do, but I like the 5 star's better, I wasn't a big fan of the special 40th rims.


GPGT40 That's pretty inspiring not gonna lie, looking really good, where'd you get the grills?

Thanks for the input, I've gotta save up some more cashflow for her it looks like

But this is my favorite stock GP I've seen, with the hood, rails, spoiler and interior, so I'm glad I snagged it. Like I'm used to doing work on the body of cars to make it look better, but I'm pleasantly content with this GPs appearance, other then some obvious tweaks that were previously mentioned.

Yeah I'll order a CAI off ZZ when I get the cash for it and after I mod the exterior to my liking. I wanna focus on the appearance first since these are already pretty quick stock.

waste of money.

I'd look at new brakes, new tires.

THEN make your own short ram intake.

Also depending on how many miles new suspension components might be a worthwhile investment.

It definitely needs a nice detailing and to be cleaned up around the wheels. but Yeah the rubber came with the rims so I said alright whatever.

That damn dealer mad every single letter it's own sticker. so annoying.

But I like the idea of lowering it, just not ridiculously.

Oh and It has 82k on it, I picked it up for 6500+tax.
