My 2005 Grand Prix GT all stock I'm looking to supercharge it but i don't want to get in over my head. what so you all think so far.


 


The headlights scream ricey, the fender stripes well it's not a grand sport so they need to go as well.

Edit: eBay headlights always look so out if place.

There's been countless writeup's on "topswapping"

But my 2cents is, save it, and go turbo if your looking to have a build and make some power. I'm gonna have people burn my a$$ by saying it, but topswapping is a total waste of time. If all you want is a bone stock supercharged daily driver. Sell what you have now, and go buy one
 
Junkyard is your friend.. Expect to pay anywhere from $800+ to top swap and then you'll need a tune, you'll want headers etc. can't afford it either piece it together or just keep yours N/A.
 
Yeah iv been thinking about looking for a junkyard complete gtp engine and trans and rebuilding it but is it as simple as that just bolting it in and a gtp PCM. and with the trans would i have to get the tap shift steering wheel for the HD trans to work? also would a 97-03 trans fit into a 05 GT iv always wondered what could be put in it and work?

Scrap those lights! I bet the output is horrid.. just stick with stockers or do it right and do a projector retrofit.. As for the stripes i kinda like them
 
Stock headlights looks 100 times better than those ones.

Fender stripes are out of place.

If you were lowered, with a lip, a hood and better wheels, they might go with it okay, but as is, they scream RICE!

Your stock trans will be fine. You'll have to swap everything from the heads on up to supercharge your car.
