    has anyone ever put on a different spoiler on their car? if so post picks or share links looking for ideas. wanting also to look at bodykits if anyone knows where to find any and possibly a new hood. wanting a GP racing style look.

    Your GXP has an SPO spoiler, which is unlike any other model of Grand Prix.

    Grand Prixs will not get a "Racing style look" from a spoiler.

    Inferno stuff's really the only option if you don't go SE.

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    There are three different spoilers for the 04+ GP

    Inferno

    SPO (GXP standard)

    base model

    I personally can't see much of a difference between the base model and GXP spoilers, its the Inferno that really stands out

    There is a lot of difference in GXP and base. I didn't think so until I got one and put it on. Makes a huge difference to the ass.

    Hey I could be wrong and not know the difference between the two, I need to see a side by side comparison.




    I don't see enough of a difference to switch short of getting the gxp version dirt cheap.

    If I remember I'll take a few shots together. The GXP one is longer, wider, and sits differently on the trunk.

    it actually sits on the same spot the regular GP spoiler does, I just finished installing a GXP spoiler on my grand prix.

    Well I saw a complete bodykit on eBay for about $700 ship & handling. I really like the looks of it. And the racing style I ment was for the body kit. I didn't know if anyone else had a GP with a bodykit and spoiler

    yeah, no one here likes that kit.. sorry to say.

    PFYC.com Inferno stuff is the most you're going to see people put on.

    because the GP aftermarket wasn't going so hot for this generation, and then they stopped making GP's and then stopped making pontiacs all together.. we have limited options.

    you want options? go down to a 97-03

    I would but to be honest I've never had luck with that gen. I mean don't get me wrong they were good cars n all. But I mean honestly I can live with what options I have. I've had pretty good luck with mine so far. I still have a warranty so I'm good.

    I assume bodykits are more prominent on vehicles with a 2-door option. 04-08 is 4-door only. For more groceries.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.

    I will say that I will agree with you on that SLOW. But another question has anyone ever put a racing type spoiler on their GP? If so did you like it?
