Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged



Well I tried one on front to just get a glimpse of what they'll be like. Def need to paint the calipers.

n I don't think they'll be that flush. They should tuck in more, I think it's just from being lifted that they are pushed out more. If not i guess I'll be rolling some fenders.
 
Well today it was 44* out n sunny, finally a nice day! First I put my inlays in and arrowhead overlay, then I went to look for tires n found some for 300-500 depending on brand n percentage left on em! So I told the guy I wanted 245/40/19 tires n that I was planning on lowering my car next week about an inch n half. He said they might rub and I should go with 235/35/19. I def don't want that low of a series for pothole purposes. Ik it isn't much between 40 n 35 series but that little would help. So I said I'd lower it first then come n try the tires pretty much. That should be the case tho because the strut tower doesn't move I told him but he's worried about the fender walls rubbing tho. I'm not worried about the back because I never drive with people in my back seat n if I do it's only one person. I do have 2 12 inch subs with an amp and battery but I really don't see why I'd have to go a lower pro. Ultimately I think it's because he has most of that series n wants to sell me something. What do you guys think??! Then I came back around n took her to thE car wash n waxed her up pretty quick. I also got my spo grilles n threw them on. I will probably be painting them silver tomorrow but here's some pics of the inlays n grille. Lemme know about tire situation if you have a lowered car. I don't think I need to lower the series, n hope I don't.

Arrowhead inlay (my symbol is cracked on the edges so it looks like this)

Front inlay was surprisingly easier than the rear.

Coming together brother...Liking those rims
Wish I had some advice for you on the rub....I personally would do 40 and roll fenders if need be
stickers actually hold OK?

Thanks bro, yes it is finally! That's why I'm gonna lower it first then go test fit sizes, he said that be cool. But I agree I'd rather roll fenders but idk if they'd rub on fenders. He was worried about rubbing on the inside if I had weight I think. But with that offset I think I'll be clear of rubbing fenders. But idk, ill just need to wait n see till I get em on. Guy was cool, I just don't wanna run that low of a tire either. N yes the stickers held very well. I used tweezers n qtips to place n push em down. Pretty easy just gotta be patient. And I washed it all after even tho they recommend not to, it was just too nice of a day today haha, had to

Haha yeah I scrolled thru n found em. N I seen your silver spo grilles haha. Mine are the battleship grey color but still look alike, that's why I did that angle on the windshield sticker, you can see the grey like that.

Nice ride, I have the same color. They made gtps even after 05 so what you have is a 06 gtp with a gen v supercharger and not a m90. Also those are new exhaust tips cause stock they came with the pig nose tips

There is no such thing as an 06 or 07 Grand Prix GTP. They GTP nameplate was dropped from the Grand Prix line up.

Yupp, went n got some gunmetal paint tonight so ima try that first n if it doesn't look good go silver. I wish they had gunmetal for calipers. I bought red for the calipers but now I'm second guessing red..? Either red or silver but I wanted them to pop more so went with red. But idk cuz since my cars red n not the same as the red caliper paint, idk if it'll look good.
