Car looks very nice. I think if you took one of the GT stickers off the back (either left or right, your pick) it would look better. I'm not a fan of the stripe across the doors but to each his own. I love the roof rails on a white grand prix, the contrast from white/black really makes them pop out. Now just keep it clean:D

Yea, wasn't sure what kind of response i was going to get for those stripes, but i like em and i get a lot of compliments from them for being unique. So, for now, they stay.

I never could figure out why some people think the license plate looks better in the front windshield instead of on the front bumper where it belongs. GP's even supply a nice place in the front bumper for the plate, you really should use it.

Dude, great execution! So slick lookin! Only thing I dont dig is the rims. Other than that, I would suggest tint and black housing projectors. Nice pics, sweet ride!

In my state, we must have front plate. Mostly lot of people with nice car put plate in front of windshield. Front plate kill the car appearance look. I put mine on windshield. Police is okay with that as long they can see it clear. BTW nice looking white car. Make me miss my old white car. They are really bright.

I like the stripes on the sides but not on the tail lights. I'm not a big fan of the roof rails either, but the rest looks good.

I remove the plate and install the cover for pics. Palsut, TX law does require a front plate. I've been going for about 3 years without my front plate until Oct 09, when I was requested to display it. I said "Yes officer, I sure will". The plate is now displayed on my car, correctly. I understand about the whole "filler plate looking better than an actual plate" thing. But does a filler plate with a real plate tossed up on the dash really look better than a real plate displayed where it's supposed to be? I agree with Chico on this issue, tossing a plate up on the dash just kills the whole look of the car, it gives it a ghetto look.

Thanks for all the opinions, license plate is definitely coming out of the window I had no idea it looked ghetto but it kinda makes sense now that you say that. Rims...i know, its winter thats why they are on. As for everything else like tint, the car is going to be overhauled this summer. Taillights will also be swapped out for some aftermarket ones (with no GT sticker ha).
And to answer nyjets91's question the little white thing is a 75th anniversary sticker, I believe it came off of a grand am in 2001 he claimed it was a 75th anniversary and i figured mine was a 2001 so why not. I'll get a closer pic up of it later tonight.
