The tinted stockers. The smooth ones look like they belong on the front of the car.

I do agree that the stocks look better up close, but I like the light pattern from the altezzas so much more.

I love the look of OEM taillights on the GP for some reason. Those altezzas look to damn smooth, and with no exhaust, the a$$ on the thing is plane besides the whale tail.

Now, it is past deadline.

I have other 3 grand prix message board that I add them together.

Stock taillights 38
Clear taillights 32

Pretty close. For now, I use stock taillights since they are winner. What happened to clear taillights? I already sold them.

Thank for vote. wink

I know it is little high but extra cash is nice. wink I sold it to clubgp member.

Oh you know what.... $250 cash is going to be my 18" wheel. I found wheel from local guy who own nice grand prix. It will cost me $300. This wheel is one year old, 10,000 miles and no scratches. Pretty sweet from this picture. Sorry, no picture. It is secert laugh

Where my tri-spoke go to? It will be on my winter beater. 5 star spoke wheel is really abuse badly. I'm serious about that. This picture look nice but close up it is really horrible.

You are right but this bulb is very very old. I work night shift since 2001. I drive lot of night after I get off work. This parking/brake lights on have black mark on it. I will go store to get new light bulbs. It is still same bulb since I brought this car. I know it is pretty long time since like 2002 whenever they build that car.

Thank you wink

No way! I won't put led on it. I have seen other grand prix message board. It was horrible. LED is very hard to see with tint tail than stock light bulb. I'm not bs you about that.

Since, I'm going hunting for new light bulb because they are very old so I figure time to get new one. I remember someone did have brighter light than stock light bulb. What is # for that?

It depends what LED's you buy, you get what you pay for. Ive had 3 cars with them and they were much brighter then stock filaments behind tint.

My GP doesnt have them yet because of the front amber bulb being nearly impossible to find for my 07.

The tints look nice though, im trying to talk the wife into allowing it to be done to the family car.

ok thank you. I have been driving my car two days in row. I have no problem during brake from my rear. All cars stop as I stop. I think I will be okay for sticking stock light bulbs but I will get new one since mine is very old.
