Nice car!!!

i have a feeling i know where those pics are taken. is it a certain car shop that may or may not have done my exhaust...

ah the sticker on your window is a dead giveaway!! yup, had my exhaust done there nearly 2 years ago.

Above the NY state inspection and registrations stickers is a white one that reads "RD FABS" its a locally owned custom car shop, well sorta locally, like 35 mins from me. they did my exhaust here:
http://www.rdfabs.com/galleries/index.p ... lbum&id=44

mislabeled as a 02, and before i had tips picked out, so those were temp.

i should re-email them to change it to 05, its been saying 02 for like over a year. ha ha

Yah that's RD FABS my boyfriend works there with the owner. I believe they are going to be doing the same exhaust set up on my car as they did on yours.

The car was for sale on club gp & grand prix forum. I drove down to Jersey to pick her up. It's my first GTP and I'm in LOVE! She's a 97 and SOOooo CLEAN, runs like a DREAM! Can't wait to start working on her. The boy's at RD FABS do great work and I can't wait to learn some mechanics :)

I found those wheels on a forum as well and REALLY lucked out on the price and the dude selling them lived right around the corner. It ended up being a PERFECT deal, I'm really glad they look good!

I'm looking for a good set of tips for the exhaust leaning towards the dual tips anyone got any advice on where to get some good not SUPER expensive one's?

I KNEW IT!!

yea there a great bunch of guys who do excellent work. Ryan and Chris did my exhaust. took those guys all damn day, but totally worth it. even now, almost 2 years later it still looks brand new. gotta love good craftsmanship as well as quality stainless steel.

since those guys there love to turbo things, gonna turbo the GP?

hell, i go in for exhaust work and they tried to talk me into a turbo. haha

Nice ride!! Looks rather familiar though..I think I might have owned it..lol!!

Car looks great, GREAT find on those wheels too they look really good. I am SOOOO happy it went to a good home. The other kid that wanted to buy it probably would've blown it up by now

Tell Chris sorry I didn't get a chance to reply to the email he sent after the wheels were done..I just moved and haven't had much of a chance to do ne thing

No worries about emailing him back ;)

BTW... this car ROCKS! I took the blue off the GTP, replaced the blue arrow with a black and put a white pontiac overlay on the back, ohh and painted the calipers black. Looking for some dual tips to get for when Chris and Ryan do the headers and exhaust (can't wait!!) She's been great, haven't seen the engine light since we picked her up!

Def need to either replace the tail lights or add a fish to the water in em :) I wish aftermarker tails for grand prixs didn't look so damn ricey (is that even a word?)

Found pix from the original owner looks like he was a detailer. Part of the reason why it was kept so clean! But I'm taking good care of her!! Much to be done...

Yes ricey is a word..lol!!

I like the look of the badges but I'm not too sure of the calipers, I always figured you can't get more original than 3 red and 1 black :grin: J/K

As far as tails..I'd definetly go w/ Flip's tails. I always wanted to do the clear stock tails w/LED's but never got the chance. I'll see if I can email you a pic or if someone has one feel free to post up

Thanx everyone for the comments! :)

I will def take pix of everything!

Ryan has been working on his car here and there and it's still torn apart :) I can't wait til he actually has it done and brings it to shows! I LOVE that car, its sooooo sexy! He wants to drift it and I think that's CRAZY, bad ass, but crazy! I'll have to ask Chris where he's at on it, I ask him every now and then how it's going but I never know what he's talking about so it's hard to keep up!

Do any of you have any input on what to do to my white ass four door car to make it look sporty? I want to keep everything looking sleak and clean, nothing wild and in your face!
