Took my 04 Comp G GTP to the dealership today to replace the driver's door armrest as the original had a blemish. Asked about the exhaust tips, spoiler and grill inserts. The parts department had a set of the exhaust tips (as shown in the dealer brochure) that had just arrived. I had them installed and they look awesome!!! They look far better than the originals. The tips cost $125.00 and the labor was about $80.00. With tax the total was $224.00. Not bad!! The bottomline: the tips are now available.

This is a pic of the tips, grills and wing on the original GXP.

For those interested, the '04 GXT-type exhaust tips are now available from GM Parts Direct:

Part #12498009 "EXTENSION"

GM List - $156.43

Dealer Cost - $109.50

S&H - $ 21.90

Total - $131.40

GM Direct makes their profit in the S&H, so it is high. But compared to most "local" dealers the bottom line cost is usually lower. The grills will be available "soon"...

JSYK, the tips on the GXP are NOT the same as the ones being offered by GM.

The GXP tips are Corsa Performance tips and run $150 each.

Good point JC....that's why I called them "GXP-type" extensions. wink

Here are two shots of the '04 aftermarket spoiler:



I just bought my 2004 this morning, should be ready for pickup Friday... laugh ...the dealer tried to get the new spoiler for it but apparently it's still not available yet...

I think that everybody will agree that the spoiler is a lot better than stock! but my last question is this:

Is it a direct bolt on replacement, or does it bolt in different places hence making holes visible from the old small stupid looking spoiler that shouldn't have even come with the car?

Sorry, I just don't like the small one... it's too... small.

Nice pics, by the way.

Hi, new guy here. Just picked up my '04 Sport Red GTP/WS6 last weekend, and I'm having a blast with it. Like some of you, I would like to upgrade the exhaust tips and spoiler to the "GForce/GXP" like parts. Does anyone know if you order the exhaust tips through GM Parts Direct if they come 2 per pack or do you have to order 2 packs?

Thanks,
Doug

Lorenzo: Agreed...I *want* the bigger spoiler. I've never liked the big 'whale tail' kind of spoilers but this addon one is just the right size to accentuate the car without being too subtle or too overbearing. laugh

Tropic: Don't know for sure re: via parts direct, but I had my tips included on the purchase of the car and they are listed as a quantity of one with one part # and price on my invoice (same p/n as Fred listed above, although I got my tips for cheaper).

The GM Part number includes two "extensions". This is what you get in the box:

The grills should be out soon, the spoiler - who knows.... confused
