Thread: Don't get your hopes up. It's still a turd.

Okay, so I got the car as a graduation present and it is my baby. That is pretty much all there is to say. I love her.

This is like the first week I had her:





The first thing I had to do was HID's. I don't know why, but I always wanted them on there even before it was my car. So I went through with it and bought 6000k headlights and foglights. Unfortunately, soon thereafter, I was fooled by a seller on eBay. I was trying to avoid hyper-flash, so I went searching for 3457 type bulbs in white. Problem was, there was only one seller selling the supposed "Hyper White" incandescent bulbs, and so I bought them. Only to be greeted by ****ty blue Autozone bulbs that were pretty much yellow. Gheyness to the max. I derped hard.

Pics of the maximum penetration gheyness:





Then I went through the whole LED strip phase. Didn't last too long as a few went out in like a week. I also installed a Spectre custom intake, bla bla bla. GHey. Anyways, somewhere around this point I also purchased the original +36 Saleen's. Thats whatsup girl.

I then thought, "Hey, you know what might be cool? A red and black theme! Because nobody does that on a Grand Prix ever! Derp."

Pictures:





So I soon did that as well. This was all red LED interior, red overlays for GXP logo, a red pinstripe that I got for free (the only reason I did it), and a Pontiac thingymajigger on the front that I put on crooked. Derp again. Also ordered the rear red Pontiac thing, but was too lazy to ever put it on.

Here are some pictures of that phase:







I continued with the black and red theme for a while until I said fack it. So I ripped all the red off, and decided I needed tints and smoked tail lights, meanwhile thinking of a new color scheme.

Then it occurred to me. I love Monster Energy drink and have always loved the green and black color scheme, so Colindunn and I agreed it would be in my best interest to pursue the Lime Green and black color scheme. So I did.

Thanks to Reflective Concepts (big shout out to those guys) and random eBay sellers, I was able to pull a theme together on a GXP that I have personally never seen done before.

List of everything on the car (as of most recently):

Tints (getting redone, so soon to be 20% all around)
Debadged (except GXP logo)
Completely smoked out rear-end (Tails, reverse bar, third brake light)
All green LED interior (with some custom placed green LED strips)
Black GXP logo with Lime Green checkers
Lime green arrowhead overlay
Lime green hashmarks (thanks again Matt )
Lime green "GPF" stickers on the rear windows
6k foglights replaced with 30000k GREEN HID's. Hell ****ing yeah.
Green LED front turn signals (not illegal at all. )
Green LED reverse lights
Green LED license plate lights (also not illegal. LOL.)
Green LEDGLOW brand underglow
Custom AEM intake (looks like dog poop)
12" Diamond Sub accompanied by a 1000w Kenwood amplifier
Autozone shift knob, hell yeah.

Soon to come:

Green calipers
Projector retrofit (Morimoto's in the mail as we speak)
Possible green led demon eyes
Clear sidemarkers with green LED's.
Lowererererering.

So on to the fun part, pictures!! These are completely up to date:














And that's all I can think of for right meow. Thanks for listening guys.

Very nice car dood.

Wish I got a nice car for a graduation gift

Looks good. You should match those calipers to your black and green theme.

Looks really good, im diggin the green and black, classy lookin! and unique!

your fender stripes are too close together.

You need green calipers bad...otherwise it looks like the xmas GXP

ill take your red stuff and 6k GOOD hids

looking good man. your stripes need a +36 offset from eachother.

meet soon!!! a meet may be going down soon near herrick lake in wheaton. saw it on w-body. ill keep ereyone posted once a date is decided. so mini meet or w-body we need a meet soon! and hardcore pics.

i wish my parents bought me cool stuff :/

i can solder. very well might i add. thats how im doing HUD and trip computer in a non abs car (pregen ABS gp's were pre-wired)

i dare you to paint the calipers black and paint the rims lime.


looks good so far, just those red calipers look out of place. we need to do a photoshoot broski.

Green and black... love it..

where is the giant Monster energy sticker?!

Should use the Monster style M instead of the standard fender lines.
then you would have 3 lines instead of 2, could leave the top of the M off so it was just the 3 lines, or bring the M up onto the hood a bit.
