    Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums and I just bought my 2002 grand prix gt earlier today. I've read some of the earlier forums on how to spice up the exterior of the car. I've decided I'm going to sand the tips and shine them up as well as purchase a bumper fill in sticker. I'm looking for cheap ways to make it look more unique. Nothing over like $30 or $40. I thought about tinting the lights as well. Any other cheap ideas would be great. Thanks guys!

    overlays for your badges or completely remove the badges all together, everything would look smooth

    and if you do remove the badges, you can transplant one of your gt badges to your grill

    it would look like so- just GT instead of GTP lol

    2002 Grand Prix GTP: 3.5 MPS, SD headers, 180* t-stat, HAI, AL104's,
    Reptile Tune (SOLD)

    I never even thought of that. I'll probably do that tomorrow and keep trying to find other subtle things to do. Thanks!

    if your rear and front fascias arent painted you could paint them a nice gloss black or whatever color you like with a rattle can, its cheap and looks good.
