Any suggestions for cheap mods? any kind, be it performance, visual, or audio or watever else. im just looking for something to improve my 2002 grand prix se
Yes i no there have been some posted up, but its a maze tryna find them, not to mention itd be nice to put them all together here. also if u guys were able to post mods that would work on the '02 thatd be great

Also, what do you guys think is a good or average price for chrome LED halos?
10-26-2010
chrome halos on a SE? o boy...
The cheapest mod you can do on any car is a Debadge - as in remove the little Grand Prix badges on the back and side of the vehicle. Make sure do to it while washing the car, so you dont have marks from the old ones.

open cone intake?
10-26-2010
hah i already got the debadging done, used a lot of adhesive remover and then they popped right off, i left the back one on tho, but i took off the dealership's logo

@ andrew, u mean like the cold air intake? i was thinking about that, does it have any effect on the car? like a lot of people tell me that it doesnt really do much to boost the mpg or horsepower like they claims to
10-26-2010
open cone is just a cold air intake cone filter put directly to throttle body its the cheapest possible intake to do it will improve air flow some but you wont notice anything really drastic by any means
10-26-2010
yea my friend put one in his crap car, i thought it was a waste of money, it did look nice but i thought maybe the effects were hidden by the fact it was a beat down car

Well, it entirely depends on the engine, as to the gains you will see. On my 2000 GT I put a 9" cone filter on, and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner, but I did have a little more oomff, and slightly better gas mileage. Now on my GTP, going with the same cone filter, upped my gas mileage quite a bit.
10-26-2010
i like "oomff" lol but theres no negative drawbacks to it right? i mean other than the vacuum sound which might be not so bad, and possibly fixable
10-26-2010
Not really fixable, since its the sound of the air being sucked into the engine. No drawbacks at all, cept having to bang the filter out once in a while if you live on/near dirt roads. Theres no need for that big of a cone on a GT, but it's what I had, so why not?
10-26-2010
lol well i think i may be able to get away with a smaller cone so that might fix the noise factor but good i'll consider putting one in soon since theres no significant drawbacks to it
10-26-2010
do you even notice the :vacuum" anyway?
10-26-2010
What the hell is this vacuum crap. Suck it up and turn up the radio if you want to hear the 3800 Hoover.
10-27-2010
lol thats wat i was prob gunna do but i wanna make sure its not so loud that i cant drown it out
10-27-2010
No no, its not even audible inside the car, only when you're standing around the fender.
10-27-2010
ah i wouldnt care about that then, i barely ever let my car idle so no one would hear it i bet
10-27-2010
10-27-2010
Yeah, i believe that the Throttle body opening is 3.5inch, but im not sure. I can go measure really quick..
10-27-2010
id appreciate that bro thanks, urs would be the same size as mine? is that size universal for all GPs?
