I have a 2 door, 95 grand prix GTP. I was wondering if there is any way to change out things like the body kit, headlights and/or tail lights, without going completely custom. I was told there were "plenty" of body kits available on the market, and that all I had to do was look in the right place, but so far, I guess I haven't looked in the right place, because the only bodykit I've found was for the 4 door thats on www.andysautosport.com, and at that, the front end design isn't the same. So please, if ya'll now of anywhere else to try or something, let me know, thanks.

Ebay is the good place to start. Although 95 model will not have as much after market parts as 97-2003 GPs. You can most likely find some cheap Tail lights/corner lights/hoods on ebay, body kit might be difficult to find.

Goooood Luck....I've been looking since the day I rolled my car off the lot in Sept of last year. One company advertizes one on their site (AED I believe), and I have seen it on a lot of Cardomain pages in peoples "I want this" lists, however I have yet to see a single car with it aside from the test car in the primer stages. I have my doubts they went through with making it. Instead I am going to start looking at other kits to have modified to fit, but that will be pricey and will have to wait till I'm done school.
As for your headlights and tail lights... GTS makes headlight covers for the front that really set off the look of the car, especailly if you have tinted windows like I do. Here is a pic...

As for your tail lights I have a tutorial on my cardomain page for clearing them, its not a bad look, definately better than stock, but I'm also thinking about spraying them with a semi-transparent black to give them a tinted look.

I was able to find amber bulbs for the signals, but the only red bulbs I could find fried my fuse. They were the LED ones you get from some auto parts stores to replace the stock bulb, my brother tells me that this happened because I have a short somewhere and when the new bulb tried drawing more current through it, it cause the fuse to go. Instead I am using the stock bulbs with gell caps I found at Princess Auto ($0.99 for 2 caps).
If you do end up finding anything let me know, I'd definately be interested.
