Gold Can Look Good...

So it all started when I first got to Texas, right off the plane from Korea(Im in the military) looking for something to drive around. I was immediatley told not to shop around Fort Hood because they rip off soldiers, so a buddy and I went up to Dallas. And thats where I saw her... 6500 bucks later, there she was. My second pontiac, after totalling my 2006 GTO drunk(havent drove drunk since). Looked under the hood, "Oooo a blower". I had no experience with Grand Prix at all. I thought they were grocery getters tbh.



Then I joined CGP and GPF, trying to gain alittle knowledge about the 3800 series platform and it turned out its not a bad car. I told myself, all Im going to do is stereo, rims(maybe) and tint. The usual when you purchase a car. Named her "Missy"...




And then it began. I came across some money, and it immediatley went into a 3.4, SD Headers and all the supporting mods. I bought an Intense tune, which was a bad idea because it still runs alittle rich for my taste. Looking back I should have got it custom tuned. Now I cant find the time to leave it at the dyno shop. And so, then, did a few more things like painted the calipers and such and some SS Brake Lines.





I could not stand the look of wheel gap with the American Racing Phantoms so then I decided to start investing in some suspension. Got GXP Struts, GMPP front and rear Swaybar/STB, SCC Springs, Poly bushings/motor mounts, new rotors, HAWK Pads, painted the rear valance because I cant stand gray plastic, even threw some inlays and a SE grille on her. And this is how she sits now.






All thats left for the outside is to paint my Inferno Hood I have sitting in my girlfriends living room and get an SE Front Air Dam. Just sharing my car

looks great man!

Sexy! Color match your se grill when you get your hood painted.

hmmm, i like it black, it adds to the black on gold look.

Looks pretty good, maybe a little iffy on the rims. Probably wouldn't be my pick, but they don't look too bad.
But yeah, thats how it goes. You think you're only going to do a couple things, and then you keep doing more and more.

i would rather have a gold 04+ than 97-03.
That looks pretty nice. good stuff. Those rims are a good pick like that style would look best with Gold.
Or black rims.

I can dig it.

X2 brah.^^

Iffy? Just be honest...those wheels look terrible on that car.

Got a good deal on them and when I bought them, I didnt have the car side by side to do a comparison. If i were to go back I would get some multispoke wheels but these will have to do until after Iraq.

if it was my car i would tuck the tips in a little better

black wheels would make this car sex. just sayin.

Those wheels do set it off nicely

Looks Good!

It's come together nicely. Those wheels look pretty good on your car.
