    So i recently bought myself a pretty nice 2005 Grand Prix and am looking to improve its looks. My question is: What would look good on a silver GP. Suggestions or pics would be nice, but know i dont have a whole bunch of cash..i have some but not enough to put 1000's into the car at this point.

    I have an 06 GP, I think the best mod's for the 04+ are The SE front air dam/rear valance, SPO spoiler, Rims, Inferno Hood, SPO grille and Hid's.

    Cheapest mods I think are SPO grille, Hids and SPO Spoiler.
    The SE front air damn and rear valance are only about 250$ each, but you have to include the cost of paint/shipping.

    I bought 18" rims/SPO spoiler/SE front air damn for a total of around 700$. It will cost around a total of 1000$ to get 18" tires and those parts painted.

    nah man...this might be out of ur budget but complete inferno package ( hood, front dam, spoiler ) with the SE rear bumper and forget the name of that new bodykit thats out but the side skirts off that kit...nice set of rims with LED tails and grille, window tint... shoot I maybe $2000 +...but those are some things to look at... When I had my underbody lights installed I loved them, visual effects are just as good of head turners as engine mods.

    I suggested SE parts beacuse as you have probably read and seen from the pictures the Inferno parts do not seem to fit as well as the SE parts. The only good looking part off the inferno apperance package is the hood. The Inferno package alone is 1,000$ add another couple hundred for paint and its already probably out of your price range. Rims + tires could add up to another 800$. I would not recommend getting part of each appearance package and frankenstiening your car together.

    I think I seen a Grand prix with underbody lights and the inferno spoiler in the movie 2fast2furious so I am not sure if you would like to go that route.

    SE air damn is probably the #1 part should get. It fitts like its a stock part and it gives the car a unique look for not to much $$$. Go from there and add what you think looks good and is in your budget.
