Imo, there's so many things I could say no to that I don't know where to start lol. If you want nice headlights, buy nice oem styles, get retrofits, or get the ccfl Spyder projectors if you want a good look. No euro tails either. No body kit either. It's your car though, so you should do what you want.
 
Thanks for the headlights tip. Im 'changing' the body because NO ONE believes all I have is a lil ole 3.8 (ahem) under the hood
 
Only thing close to a body kit I would do on a Grand Prix let alone any car is the SD lip, one of the various spoilers available (not some ricey Evo looking spoiler now), hood of your choice (again not some ricer looking one) lower it and different set of rims and for the love of God rip that decal off the hood yes every single grandmother, kid, father knows wtf and Grand Prix looks like
 




I dont think it woud look too bad with some more work... that paint needs to be MIRROR Finish if you are really gonna have that hood cutout. Retrofitted headlights and halo fogs would look decent and a nice set of LED tails...without that, the hood does look out of place...and not to mention, the engine should def be detailed if its being shown off.
 
With that hood you may as well throw a body kit, halo headlights, a park bench spoiler, fart cans, giant vinyls, the works. The hood is not really subtle in any way. Seems out of place on the car. About the only aftermarket visual modifications anyone on this forum do are retrofit headlights, aftermarket rims and lowering cars. Everything else is left pretty much stock. If your part of the rice is nice group you probably want to find a different forum. No offence intended.

My advice to you is that if you are dead set on a kit is that you make sure it is one of the duraflex kits otherwise the slightest tap can ruin the kit, hence why the front and rear bumpers look the way they do.

Also I like tinted tails or the tinted led tails if you want aftermarket ones.
