I figure this would be a decent way to start a timeline, and possibly get some opinions on the ideas I have for my New-To-Me Grand Prix.

This is what she looked like the day I brought her home, and not much has changed yet, except the trunk works and doesn't retain water anymore


Firstly, the car has 3 GP wheels and one that I believe came from a Bonneville and is probably wider than the other wheels

And is it just me (I've never owned a Bonne) or is something on this wheel missing?
On top of the mismatched wheels, all 4 tires are different brands, with varying levels of wear on them, which I'm sure is contributing to the vibration I get on the highway.

LIGHTS!!

No, I do not have fog lights. Perfect reason to get HIDs though



Yeah, the back end needs a lot of love. I'm thinking LEDs, don't know if I want them tinted though...


Thinking of Plasti-Dipping the badges to kinda refresh the look of them.

The bumper itself has a lot of wear on it, maybe replace it with a GT bumper?


The brake calipers are rusted and dingy, the wheels are in need of a good clean and polish, all in all, it looks like an almost decade-old car, so I'm not trying to win any beauty contests with it just yet. I want to keep it white, but I'm trying to brainstorm some black or gray accents (hash marks maybe?) I figure I'll start with the lights, both broken and missing, and work my way around from there. I'm nowhere near trying to build a show car, but I like my ride to look nice. I'm sorry to have assaulted your eyes, I promise when I post more pictures it will be looking a whole lot better! Any ideas/criticisms would be appreciated.

hey, looks like your in the same boat i am in

cant wait to see it get turned around

my wheels i just got are the same as the three on urs, almost like pregen wheels. i painted them with rust o'leum graphite wheel paint, which turned out sparkly dark grey. my gp is black but i still think it would look nice on white, and not just be plain black like plsti-dip.

That does look pretty good. I'm trying to decide if I wanna find a 4th matching wheel or just get all new ones when I replace the tires.

my wheels were 120 for the set, with crap tires but they fit the tires i already had anyways, they were 30bucks a wheel, if i had aluminum wheels i coulda gave for a core would have been $10 a wheel.

Absolutely, it's probably the only thing on the car that I feel is a complete eyesore.

And it has been debadged! I really miss my DSLR right now

Now all she needs is a thorough wash. I think I like the clean look. Now what to do with all the Grand Prix badges in my center console...

A buddy of mine bought some projector fogs with halos for like $40.
