    I have been searching for days for nice looking ground effects, badges and nose crests for my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix that intend on turning into a GTP myself. If anyone knows where I can find great ones, can I have a link? The ground effects/body kits/whatever you want to call them that I have found are flat out ugly and look like cheap bull**** need for speed garbage. So please, let me know.

    Lol, I've looked at so many ground effects/body kits and they look like the garbage kits you'd get in the first Need For Speed Underground when you were broke. I've seen Grand Ams, Sunfires and even the absolutely most ugly Sunbird with nicer kits than what is offered for the GPs. I almost feel disrespect lol. I just want a nice kit that will look mean as hell. Do you know where I could get a black nose crest? I plan on murdering out my GP.

    Go to a junkyard and pull the front and back bumpers and sideskirts off a gt or gtp. Or just leave the se parts and make it super sleeper.

    Now I might be wrong, but I think the nose crest is the arrowhead
    Does removing the spare count as weight reduction?

    It's the arrow head. Nose crest or emblem.

    I never even thought of that but I got lucky and found someone selling a 99 GTP right by me. Saves me from swapping trans & engine.

    He meant in the original post. I didn't mention it because either way you see it SE, GT or GTP you can put ground effects on them.

    As for that 99 GTP for sale, miles don't matter to me. My GP has 191k and runs fantastic except my trans flutters up hills and doesn't want to shift sometimes unless I let go of the gas

    Why not just sell yours and get a gtp instead of wasting all that time and money?

    If you want to try and swap parts and make this SE into a badass car, so be it. I think you should sell and buy a GTP and start from there but do what makes you happy.

    For starters... Body Kits... No no. You want Fast & Furious go body kit. They all fit horribly and look like trash. You want awesome. Change to GTP body moldings, buy the parts from PFYC or buy a hood from Pontiac | American Sports Car get the lips separate and a SLP/SD spoiler of your choosing.

    Let me put it like this. Maybe you will notice a trend here.






    Notice what these cars had in common. Nice wheels, Nice hood, SD/SLP Spoiler, No tacky Body Kit. All look badass.
