You can do anythign you want if your willing to put the work in to it. Fitment might be a issue, but things can be modified. But if your asking can there be a direct swap, unlikely.

Thats what i was afraid of. Something like that that is going to take time isnt worth it until i get the performance issues taken care... In my mind performance is first to go fast... Win some races and get money for the cosmetics hahahaha

Not bad at all.

Dremel, some bits..an hour or so to clean up. Then paint the letter back in and light it up. Seal it up and toss it on.

Well..since you want fast before flashy.. I'm with you.

I kinda ran outta fast stuff and spent a lot of time on things that the car should have had. When I did them...they had to look and feel like it was from the factory.

Homelink
Moved fog light switch
Any added buttons are designed to look factory
Heated seats
Light in trunk that will reach around entire car (great for breaking down)
Added cig lighter outlets
Different shifter handle
Cluster with volt gauge
Light "Pontiac" up on the tail light

the list goes on and on if we pop the hood...lol

Yeah im with you i like the car to look pretty normal. It adds to it when you pull up next to someone and smoke them. But as for looks i dont plan on doing too much. Once i get the Stage 3 kit in from intense (hopefully over winter). The main thing i was thinking was Tinting the windows. I recently put some black/chrome rims because the other ones were leacking badly. Also i thought about putting air shocks back on her.... Kinda let that go cause of the price of them

Definately toss the air back on. If the onboard compressor isn't working good, use a manual fill kit. Monroe'* is about $12 for the kit.

I like to put people that don't know my car into it and ask them to tell me what'* been changed.
