Do this. VHT looks like s**t if you don't know how to do it. Tiny shop can tint them for very cheap and look 100% better. Don't cheap out. The cheaper you go generally the cheaper it ends up looking. Good luck

Re: 04 grand prix gt2!!
I preach this on the 'Balt boards because it's a bunch of 16~ year olds with a few older guys...
Do it right; or don't do it at all.
You'll thank yourself later...Take them to a local paint shop. Have them actually painted. Shouldn't be very much money either at all, as they just use basic black and standard clear...a 50/50 mix is legit. I loved mine on my Grand Prix's, had the same guy do them...he charged me $50~ or so. This is nightshades with no clear or sanding...puke:
These are the same cars with the professionally done tails...
Best part about it is that nothing wears off over time like VHT/clear does...doesn't get sun spotted or anything...and you can wax it with the rest of the car and is super clean

Re: 04 grand prix gt2!!
lol warbeaver...Tyler was something else...not even gonna get into that one.
And you can clean it with tire foam...that's how I used to detail all the engine bays I did.
And...with it being an L26, you can paint the UIM just fine...it'll really set the engine bay off.
