as general maintance i would recommend spending about 240$ for the nice preformance MSD coils & wires and getting Bosche 4+ Platinum sparkplugs

And get a Cold Air intake once you get it running right.

don't waste your time.

stock coils are more than good enough. so are stock wires, just get ones with a lifetime warranty.

get some decent copper plugs. THE END.

polishing the stock exhaust tips

i wasn't planning on starting this until spring but my stock mufflers failed on me (1 fell off) so i saved the tips and began to polish them

X2 on the Copper Plugs. Platinum Plugs are a no no on the boosted cars. I've done the whole aftermarket wires thing and they failed. I went back to stock wires and never had any issues since.

well i picked up a set of grills from and the fitment was as bad as i thought they were going to be so my buddy came up with the idea to cut the center out of the stock ones and put the new ones in the middle, i thought they looked good so here are the pics

Very nice deal!!

I have a question for anyone reading this thread. Why is it, when GM put the charcoal interior in these cars, they put a light tan door seal stripping, pillar plastic, and head liner? What were they thinking? What, are they color blind or something, but even if that were so, the white would be white, and black would be black. :th_laugh-lol2: I'm taking out my tan leather, (pretty beat up from previous owner), and putting in charcoal, but came across this and couldn't believe what I saw. Time to prep for some paint. Can't paint the door seal strippings, and hopefully I can find a different color online somewhere. Headliner, well that's an easy fix.

Also, I thought all GTP's came with the louver hoods? Or, was it an optional hood?
