MSD's have gone bad on GTP's, not GT/SE's, so you should be fine.
And the rims look killer, love the look of those.

To each his own and the MSD coil pack looks better then stock, as for performance no gains and reliability may or may not have gone down, its not like every single one is set to fail. I may just get some MSD coils some day and keep my stock ones in my car for backup, there quite easy to take on/off.

So i have heard.
But i heard it was the first released MSD's that caused problems, not their newer ones.

Those wheels look sweet. You should keep the catfish look. Looks distinguished from other GPs.

Got a soft spot for this shape SE because it was this shape that we first saw a Grand Prix here in the UK, and convinced the wife that a Pontiac was for me!
Just noticed a downside for those rims; those bolt heads are gonna be a bugger to keep clean! A smooth rim would be better with that spoke design? Still like 'em though.
