From what I know, is that no one really makes body kits for Grand Prix's, and one of my favorites for accessories for Grand Prix's is ... www.grandprixstore.com. I know that they have a wings west spoiler, and at least one other, and also items such as replacement high end fog lights, and altezza tail lights.

There is only one manufacturer of a full body kit for the 97-03 GP: AED.

No one has developed projector beam headlights for us, but you can either get hyperwhite bulbs or go for a full 9007 HID conversion.
As mentioned above, clear corners and taillights are available and using Blazertechs will improve the lighting from your foglights.

I have compiled a list of several GP related sites on my website . It is by no means all inclusive, but offers a very good start.

Thanks, I am in the middle of a makeover, so check back in a few days to see more changes.

Sure, nearly all non-engine accessories designed for Grand Prixs, work for all trim levels: SE, GT and GTP.

I sent you a private message.

Man, do me a favor at least, don't go 'ricing' out your car. Many people have the underglow kits, but don't put those windshield lights on. There are so many cool things you can put on your car that'll make it look awesome.

Here's a GREAT place to start, and you can find many other websites that sell different cool items. http://www.clubgpstore.com/ Awesome stuff.


I mean, you can do whatever you want to your car as long as you like it. These are just my opinions.



BTW, I ran a 14.18 with my crappy 'automatic' with just a K&N air filter. There is no option for a manual transmission.

I really dont see why you couldnt race your GP. Put performance parts on and increase HP w/ intake, exhaust, free flow cat, and other small mods. No shame in having an auto.
