Pilot PM-577

4" diameter, slanted tips, resonated, easy to connect (has three screw in clamps). 15 bucks each

Only downfall of them is you have to replace them once a year due to the resonator part rusting and falling apart. I have found that once a month a squirt of black paint will help the rusting, but since the fiberglass material retains water, the metal on the inside rusts out :(

I'm going to have Flip do his magic on them. I am just waiting until someone makes some decent aftermarket LED tails. I don't like the Altezzas much either but what choices do we really have?


I was not a fan of the color either but was kind of in a pickle. I drove my 93 SHO to the dealer with every single idiot light possible on, transmission slipping, 32k in repair reciepts, etc etc (all things that are "SHO"..some of you know what I mean) and that was the only car that I found acceptable on the lot at the time.
I also really like how rare the gold color is. I have yet to see a gold 2 door in person besides mine and only saw a gold 4 door on the highway once (and it was a SE). I don't like having the same car as everyone else.

I appreciate the comments and get a lot of remarks everywhere I go such as "Done just right" and "Not too much" and "That's a Grand Prix??"..makes me feel like the 15-20k (I lost track) I spent modding and fixing it up was worth it :)

Your GP looks great. Your engine looks to clean. For some reason I always thought you had a GTP.

Never took the cup holder out..took me a week to get it just right and still function correctly.

I did take the vents apart and painted those, the trick is to not paint the inner vents, then you can still move them up/dow/left/right, plus looks much better than leaving the gray vents in place. I have just the door handle pieces left to do(stupid plastic welds to the door panels)

You need wider tires man!! You need to get a little bit of sidewall bulge going, I think another 20mm wider might do the trick quite nicely. Other than that, you got one clean GP on your hands 8)

Yeah, I have 18x9" rims with 245/45/18's

I need 18x8.5" or 255/45's, problem is I am about at the limit of width I can get in the inner fender without spacers and I do not want to use spacers

I will be replacing the Pirelli's soon, when I do I may be going to a differant rim also. I would love to have 275's but just don't know if they will fit...

I have seen a couple guys run 275's. They do stick out a little. You will definitely need to roll your fenders. Both that I have seen are on club GP. One has a black grand prix with the deep dish bullits and the other has fr500 with 275's.

Enlighten me once more how you made those "roof rails" the more I see it the mor I like it, thus equaling the more I want a set for myself.
