Newcomer - First Mods/Future Ideas

Hello. I'm new to the forum. I've got a 2004 GT, Dark Green, 97,000 miles, http://i39.tinypic.com/lzdax.jpg (old picture, will update soon), completely stock right now, except for speakers and stereo head, as I have had no money or time to do much with it, but as I'm going to have both when I get back from basic training/AIT for the Army, I was wondering what I should do to my car for some mods?

I've picked out some headlights that I plan on getting when I return home: Buy Pontiac Grand Prix 04-08 CCFL Projector Headlights - Black Aftermarket Car Parts EZMotoring.com
Any better suggestions? More information, in plain English, about headlights (LED, HID, etc...) would be very much appreciated.

For starters, I want new headlights. I'm also gonna get some red caliper paint one of these days: Amazon.com: Dupli-Color BCP400 Red Brake Caliper Kit: Automotive

Also, can someone tell me what the difference is between these:

The one with the white license plate is a GXP, I know that, but what is the other one?

I've also got a mind to do the lighted cup-holders, as per this thread: http://www.grandprixforums.net/more-lighted-cupholders-04-a-37448.html

I've also been wondering about whether or not, if I can get a hold of a 5-button DIC, would it simply plug-and-play with my current 3-button? If not, is it possible to get it to work?

This is also on my mind: http://www.grandprixforums.net/2006-special-edition-rear-fascia-44467.html
Also, the exhaust tips he has, or possibly these: Hedman Exhaust Tips - 04EXH - PFYC.com

I'm also considering the Figure Aluminum Grille Set from pfyc.com in flat black: Figure Aluminum Grilles for 2004-08 Grand Prix - 04EXT - PFYC.com

Also from pfyc.com, I've noticed the LED tail lights: LED Tail Lights - 04-08 Grand Prix - 04EXT - PFYC.com
Are they worth the money? Any information on these would be nice.

And I just stumbled across these: LED Interior Ambient Light Kit with Eight Colors - 04INT - PFYC.com
I think I would go for red.

Any information, advice, criticism, whathaveyou would be appreciated!
Thanks!
 


i think the other one is also a gxp but just a newer year like 08ish, but i have the same car as you and im in the same boat lol, just got a new job that pays 19$ an hour so ill be able to do a lot more now. Welcome to the site!

Just get the silver SPO grills off ebay, those aftermarket grills look like butt on our cars.
I saw a dark green GP at this place we used to eat at all the time and it had the SPOs it looked good.

Both those cars are GXPs looks like the grey one has an aftermarket bumper.
 


no need for those silly led kits. just get your own bulbs. thats what i did. proper SMD setup and itll be bright as hell. i gotta take pics of my setup...

I've used that dupli color brake caliper paint kit and have had to do touch ups once a year, best solution is sand blast and powder coat them
 
For HID headlights (bulb and ballast), the forum is generally split and arguing over who is better between VVME and DDM Tuning. Just don't go out their and shell out hundreds of bucks for an HID kit. It is encouraged to buy a relay harness for each HID kit.
 


at odi and Logan- where did you get these bulbs? I want to replace my ugly white ones with red ones in my 05 gp so I think there are only 5 total lights. 2 in feet area one map light in front and 2 in back. if there's a forum on how to do this on the 04+ link me to it please
 
ebay for the bulbs just type in the bulb type number and the color and LED you will be surprise at what comes up I got mine from Vickytam o ebay and two oter guys OxOu (orsomething like that) and angle something sorry thats all I can remember. Ebay can be your best friend when you are on a budget
 
Headlight turn signal, foot lights, back seat lights and license plate are all T10. Dome light is a festoon and I'm not to sure on length. Back up bulb is 3157, Tails are 3057
