    Hey everybody, new here!
    Just got a 2004 Grand Prix GT, and so far, the engine sounds/runs great!!

    The only thing about the car, it has a few cosmetic issues, it seems like someone was trying to make it look cool with gauge pods in the driver side pillar, only thing is there isnt any gauges in them. Im looking for an OEM part tan colored, but i have NO idea what the heck its called!!!

    Also the 16" wheels might have been painted black?? They are ... tolerable for now, but i need to get some center covers for them, with out the center, they are pretty ugly. I just didnt know if they are all the same size in diameter... I could go to autozone i guess? just to kill time till i get better wheels.

    I dont imagine finding a chrome grill would be to hard? (the grill on it was painted black, and is missing some clips, or they broke off), and a new front badge that has the red pontiac symbol, because they painted that as well....

    Any help will be very appriciated!! I would like to get this car in nice looking condition for my other half!! thanks everyone!

    I guess i would if it was my car, and not the girl friends, that and if it was supercharged...

    But, she just doesn't want the pillar with the gauge holders right there in her face, she wouldn't know what they did anyway..

    What does the gauge pillar look like? I may have a extra A Pillar you can use.

    That looks like a ZZP Pillar pod. ZZPerformance - 3 Pod A Pillar Gauge Holder 04+ GP Gen 2 #ZZ-3POD-04-GN2

    You should be able to sell that or trade it for stock, no problem.

    No, they painted it black... Its okay really.. but id like to show off the pontiac symbol.

    They also i guess baked the headlights, and painted the inside of them black... but the paint was seriously chipping away badly, and it looked really really unprofessional... Luckily a friend of mine has an 08 grand prix gt, and just sold me his OEM headlights for 50 for the pair.

    Honestly i only thought the only reason to bake into a headlight to get it open, was to just retrofit... but who knows...

    Always a cheaper option if you just don't happen to find another badge.

    Here's a few of them

    Lmao painted the inside of their headlights what a terrible idea. Sounds like the previous owner was trying to make it something that it is not.

    Its solid, most definitly, but its a smooth material, not coarse like the passenger a pillar. It matches perfectly fine, and just clips right in, very easy install.
