Okay thanks for the info, maybe ill just pick up some silver stars for the time being, I'm going to check out that retrofit thread. I've seen it but don't know what it involves. I realize hids are like a distorted outburst instead of a controlled if that makes sense.

It does.

And yeah, a retro is honestly less work than people think. Just spend the time and do the research and you'll be perfectly fine. Especially when fitting a Morimoto H1. It's not much work at all and you will be 110% more pleased with the light output. It's an investment but it is WELL worth it in my book.

Says the guy who has invested >$1,000 in one retrofit, but still.

I looked up the thread about it and it doesn't seem too bad. The money it takes to get them is crazy! Lol how much would you say al together it runs? About 200 with using yiur stock headlights. Of course id have to get it all done in one day in order to drive again. But yeah they look a lot better. Also I looked up the HIRs and for about $60-75 I could get them

If you were to do MMH1's, I would conservatively say to plan on spending at least $300. This is most likely on the bottom end of the scale pending what kind of external equipment you'd be using (i.e. ballasts, shrouds, etc.)

And I wouldn't even bother trying to open up your stock headlights as they are permasealed. Buy an aftermarket set on eBay for $85 shipped and you'll be thanking yourself down the road - trust me on this one.

Nice find. I think I paid like $100 for mine brand new already painted but that was a deal of a lifetime.
 


Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged Quick Modding

He has the HUD still in it and I was asking him about that, he told me to offer him a price but idk what they go for. He's planning on taking everything valuable off soon to get rid of the rest, what should I offer haha
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged Quick Modding

SD customer service has been good to me before in the past. Years ago when they came out with them they had a group buy going on ended up purchasing a set and a few guys had issues with them and they were informed and I choose to send them back instead of going through the hassle of trying my luck. Refunded me within a few days and they paid for shipping. I hope you paid around $230 or so for them because now on eBay there going for $400+

Ik they spiked to $400 the day after I bought them. They were on there for 240 and I made an offer at 200, 210, and 220$ and got them for that. So when I seen they jumped up n still haven't shipped I was freaking out. They were supposed to get ahold of me today n still haven't but maybe I'll call me later.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged Quick Modding

Ill give them a call and make sure they're going to ship you a set.

Cheap affordable headers are no longer a option lol.

Lol okay ill call them now, I'll be so mad if they refund then expect me to rebut them for 200 more! Ssac would have to do then for 225.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged Quick Modding

But it's sure as hell not everyday where you can find a complete HUD for cheap gotta jump on that when you can. You'll beat yourself down over not doing it down the road when you see the prices they usually go for.
 


Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged Quick Modding

Lol yeah I agree..I'll have to see how money is, I got a Vegas plane ticket to pay for in a couple days!

But I may have to make a special trip now lol. Well see. I got my elm 327 and torque working and have no idea what anything means.
