New guy w/pics

Hey guys,
I've been on the forum since I got my GP a few months ago (not really posting, just learning A LOT) I really love the car. Its definitely a step up from the 'ol rust bucket i used to have. I thought I'd finally post a few pics. These pics are from feb/march so they are a little bit old, but I havent really taken any other pics.





Now, I'm back at school and am hoping to get some decent time to work on a few things.
I'm looking at tint, clear corners, new headlights (mine are obviously not that great), tinted tails, and I still havent found a front license plate cover. I would really like to get some HIDs. Currently I'm working on painting my engine cover.
I would love to get new rims (I've been around long enough to realize that everybody says get new rims...lol)

However, all these things need lots of money, so it may take me a while. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,

Why are those wheels starting to grow on me so much? I used to think that they were so ugly, but yours and palsut's cars have almost changed my opinion. Very clean car, BTW. I think those appearance mods you have picked are just what the doctor ordered

Welcome to the club!

Clean car.

Welcome to GPN.

very very nice

Welcome to GPN

Welcome aboard nice car.

Nice looking car...

I was thinking while looking at the pics that I have a front plate cover that would look really nice on that car and lookie there... you're actually wanting one.

$25 shipped sound good?

Thanks for the comments guys! I thought the rims were aweful too when i bought the car, but the price/mileage/options were all right and rims are definitely something that can be changed. However, they are growing on me the more i sit back and just look at my car. lol

Slick, sounds awesome!! let me know how you want me to pay for it.

That's good looking car. I like that rim. I never seen it before. I have one but mine is all silver. There is photo of my backup rim.



ordonez1307: if it is start grow on you. Maybe you could buy my backup rim to hang on wall to stare as long you want. It will cost you some money.

Welcome aboard.Chico(pops)

Nice car! You located in the midwest?

we have a lot of the same things going my friend. i am just getting rims and i am doing tint and clear corners this summer, maybe the new projectors instead check them out sometime. btw welcome to the site

slick give the plate cover to me lol

I have a hi-po set in my garage, for when you can't resist anymore. Lol.

Welcome to the site. Man thats a clean car.

How in the heck does that black paint look so damn good, especially seeing snow right there. Did you just pull it out of a garage to take pics and it goes back in? That thing is emaculate in pictures, not sure in person.
Looks awesome!

I love when the newbies come clean and say they been around just learning and reading, that is cool. How do you do it without tempting yourself to post?

Welcome!

20gtp02: Take a look at last picture of his post. I think he took it wash and dry then took picture. I'm sure it probably start dirty again after this. Notice that snow stuck under left front bumper?

He's braver than me to get out in cold weather like that and wash his car. I neglect my poor babies alot.

Ah, welcome to the site!

lol, if I had known you needed one before, I could've sold it to ya. oops...

lol, no thanks. I have far too many things to get before a set of rims that im still undecided on

The second the temp got above freezing, I went to wash it (Come on, It was a brand new car to me!!) It was pretty cold and i didnt last long out there.

And then I did it every time it got above freezing until the snow was gone. I would like to say I am pretty "anal" about how the car looks, so keeping her all washed up is important.

Watching and learning and not posting is easy to do when you dont know anything. lol

Thanks for the comments!

Is that from just after you bought it? Looks alot better than when it came back from Florida lol. I hope your parking that in the garage in Flint.

nice... is it just me or are your rims two tone? they actually look kinda good in that pic i'm not gonna lie...

Yea they are. The little y-designs in between the tri-stars are painted dark grey to match the lower fascias on the bumpers. My grandma has a set on her GP, I'll get some pics of them when I detail her car in a few weeks.

I've always loved black cars, and your GP is no exception. Very nice.

NICE CARWASH!!! LOVE IT IN THE BACKGROUND!!! haha i need to wash mine rele bad... WELCOME!!!

That car seems as if had a few miles out the dealership...
Those rims just came here on Aztecs.

I like those rims too, not sure why. There are two different types, the two tone and the all silver. They can be a pain to keep clean though. Must say your car looks very god too.

You don't remember seeing my rims when I came up to Indy?

....Oh that's right, it was like -20* outside that day!
