    Hi.

    I got this 98 Grand Prix for 300$... but it needed 1,000$ worth of work. Now it's a fun car to drive!

    The rear bumper has a perfect huge dimple in the corner; anyone know how to pop that out? It's very hard to get at from underneath. TIA

    not bad for 1300 bucks.

    that bumper comes off real easy, so take it off then use a heat gun aka hot air gun. warm and push it out. you'll need a tool like the handle side of a screw driver or something to push and re mold the plastic as its to hot to touch by hand.

    search youtube, theres a bunch of vids how to do it. its all about slowing heating it all up then working it.

    look at the gap around the new taillights compared to stock... oh wow.
    also I ordered smoked taillights to match the headlights... guess they didn't notice.

    all of this was 300$ on eBay.

    You didn't want those tail lights anyway, they are really really fugly.
    Is the front of the car messed up from you photochopping out the front plate or does it actually look like that? I don't understand why people blur out their plates, we don't have that big of stalkers on here.

    You drive around all day with your license plate showing to the world.. why hide it when you post on a limited forum of GiantPile lovers? That one never made sense to me.

    If you are constantly posting about racing and being a jerk on the road, I could see the desire...but then you should get stalked and beaten anyhow..
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
