Your car looks great. Either hood would look good. The SLP style would be nice because you don't see it as often.

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - Old n Boring!

not to steal your thread here... but i'm really wondering what harnesses you used to get that stereo working, and if you retained the wheel button functionality? i've got a very similar head unit for my 2004 GTP and bought a $150 harness from crutchfield that didnt work (to their credit, they took it back no questions asked even though i mentioned it was hacked up; 5 star customer service). any input would be greatly appreciated.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - Old n Boring!

asking about the 'fin' on the back, you get it finished???
Old and boring????

Yes my steering controls work..and I believe it's the gmos hook up, and the steering wheel interface from axxess. Luckily mine was hooked up from the previous owner because there's a lot of wires to be hooked up if you're doing it, lol I've just been swapping radios out since n never had a problem

Lol it's not new n exciting anymore! Haha. But still haven't done the fin n you all called it. Haha. Hopefully before summers over it will be done. N I got it January 25th 2013 I think. Around there at least. I do have an orbital but never really used one as far as a whole car so I was just taking my time by hand. I do need new pads for it though before I try it out. eBay good for that? Or amazon?
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - Old n Boring!

Amazon for the pads..with prime you save on the ship.
Man with some clay bar, Megs UC and UP then wax you'll will be surprised. It still takes time but a helluva lot faster and efficient than by hand.
It's like a big-ol can of Swirly-Be-Gone.(and some scratches)

I have to agree. You will be happy with megs ultimate trio by hand. You should invest in a DA polisher. Harbor freight sells one that is getting really good reviews on autogeek. It's also reasonably priced. PM me if you want to venture into a DA and I'll get you the right info to start you up.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - Old n Boring!

Whats the difference between a da polisher n an orbital? Because I do have one n been looking at pads. Im tempted to just take it in sometime n get it all done. But id like to learn how to do this all for future.

Taken from Meguiars site.



In recent years, the Porter Cable Dual-Action polisher has become the machine of choice over the older style Orbital buffers for a number of different reasons:


* Smaller size and lighter weight makes them easier for anyone to use.

* Very easy to control, requires no previous experience or skill to use correctly.

* Smaller size enables you to work on small panels and tight areas easier with better control.

* More options for buffing pads and bonnets.

* Velcro® interface makes changing between pads fast and easy.

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - Few Little Things!

Soi bought some tint for my foglights from lami-x. Went with the "tint" selection I believe. Could have went to "gunsmoke" to be more noticeable, but it looks good. It flows better i guess. Also, picked up a new shifter n a black with red stitched boot. I must say it turned out good and looks a lot better!
Tinted on the left, this is in direct light tho too

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - Few Little Things!

I love the looks of this car, not so much on the shifter, but everything else is DAMN!
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - Few Little Things!

Don't get me wrong, I have seen MUCH worse done to cars\trucks\broncos. That is well done, and done right, it's just not my style.
