Is it plug and play or do need to cut wires? I cant even figure out how to remove a license plate bulb.... Is it a twist and pull or just a pull?

Most HID kits are plug and play, however, for the best results you want to look into retrofits

Replaced the starter, for the first time since I've owned a GP, this is the first time I haven't had to buy any replacement parts or repairs, she runs perfect after replacing the starter and I'm happy

Kits are easy....retrofits harder.
Classy Pontiac sells new headlight retros for 325, which is a damn good deal

Oh yeah and finally got 30 mpg average on a 120 mile trip.

Retros for 325 you say...

My only gripe with the retro was beam crossing and the over use of silicone in some areas. But overall no big deal and still a good deal for what material and labor an shipping cost.

If I ever go that retros, that's the route I'll go. $325 is a steal.

Replaced the lower motor mount which was completely toast, now I have no more vibration at idle! Only thing is that when I was installing the new "solid one" it got a little too much pressure on one side and ended up killing it and leaking hydraulic fluid out. So we will see how long this one lasts and see if it gives me enough time to either A) make my own solid mount or B) buy one.

Plasti dipped my wheels black and sprayed a little gold metalizer on them

Am I missing something? How is 325 a steal for the retros exactly? Jw

Our store has a 90 day cheap store brand pad, 2 year wagner quick stop, 1 time lifetime thermoquiets and the monroe are unlimited lifetime. This covers wear. We get more customers than you can imagine because of this. And thus bringing them in for other things aswell. Pads arnt much compared to everything else they buy.

Today I upgrade my ground and charge wire, replaced a vacuum hose that was suspect, and I think I fixed a vacuum leak on my ZZP adapter plate. Torque Pro shows me getting 7.1 PSI of Boost, where before I had 5.8 maybe 6. Does 7.1 sound about right for my setup? I have Gen V (entire L32), 3" DP, and a HAI.
