White4d96'* 3100 GPSE
I just realized I never put up a picture thread for my car on here, so I figured I'd spread the love some.
A few months after I got it running:
Why I hate would-be thieves:
Only replacement at the local yard:
JDM y0!!!11
Cone filter mod:
restored lights:
amp wire, round 3:
What a mess!
my ugly temp sub box:
GPGT buckets and Lumina console (which required dash cutting to fit, don't recommend it and I wouldn't do it again)
Night shot, still cleared out:
Tint, round one:
Those were vandalized, so I switched to coupe tails.
Moar round one tint:
Coupe tails:
Moar tint:
Oops!
Ball joint failure, ripped the halfshaft out of the transmission
Window tint (don't use the Gila film, it'* a b*tch to work with)
Repainted hubcaps:
My tint faded:
Looks good...sorta.
Painted dash and console, tasteful accents? Or Fisher-Price?
Wheels I almost bought:
My brother has them on his Jetta now. When he trades it in I may try and buy them off him, then save to put the right size tires for my car on them and rock them as summers.
All clean:
Cutlass 'vert FSTB:
Exhaust I didn't really like:
Cleared back out:
HID'*, round 1: 35w 8000k EBays
Engine bay paint in progress:
Oops again!
Rust removal:
Brake fire carnage
HID'*, round 2: 55w 10000k from DDM:
4-high mod:
tint, round 3: Rustoleum tint on the front lights (much better than that niteshades CRAP)
Moar engine bay goodies:
big 3 wire ziptied to the FSTB:
Moar rust repair:
New camera pics:
Tint failness:
Some better shots of the car as she sits now:
Whats wrong in this picture? Let'* see if anyone can figure it out...
Comments and criticism are always welcome.

Last pic = Engine mount is trashed!
The car has come a long way! I'm glad to see that you have 2 buckets in the car now. And the center console actually looks really nice, I've never seen a Lumina center console in a Grand Prix.
I like!
EDIT: BTW, you should do a 96B4U front bumper swap like I did. I just plain cant stand those headlights!

Thanks guys.
If you look really carefully towards the background of the pic, framed by the crank pulley and belt, you can see a strip of torn rubber from the lower engine mount.
I'm thinking about repainting the dash and console a different colour, but I can't decide what I want to do. I saw an '04-08 'Prix on another forum that had a cool light grey/dark grey theme in the interior that looked really upscale, but I can't find the thread again.

That pic is unfortunately old. Pass bucket is still chilling on the driver'* side, and driver'* bucket is still at my friend'* house awaiting some more work.
I wonder if the passenger rail would fit on the driver'* seat...save me some welding (since I can't weld and my friend is insisting that I do the welding on the seat...)
