    Just thought I would make myself a page, since I've been a member for some time now. I'm 18 and getting ready to go off to college, so basically what that means is that I will not being doing any more major modifications even though I can feel the symptoms of the mod bug. I live in central Illinois. The car is a 2008 Grand Prix Base I picked up from a little dealership about an hour south of where I live. The color is carbon flash metallic. It had 31K miles on it when I picked it up in July of '11. I've been enjoying it ever since and have put about 8500 miles on it. Right when I got it, a friend of mine bumped into the front bumper so I got a free respray on the bumper out of that lol. Then my air compressor clutch went out so I had to replace that. Those are the only repairs I have had to make so far. The mods I have done are black SPO grilles, 35% tint all the way around (legal limit since I'm heading off to college and the cops will probably be strict about that I imagine), debadged it, and I've found the chrome interior trim pieces for the doors at a local junk yard. That is all I have done so far. I wish I had a budget for mods but like I said college is coming up in the fall and that is where my money will be going. Here is how she stands right now.











    Thanks for looking!

    Limited budgets suck especially when you are a college student. Good luck, car looks good so far.

    Got the interior cleaned out and took some pictures. Everything is stock. I've only added the chrome door trim.
