Default Need ideas...

I know its not a GXP its just a SE, but its a nice car, just needs alittle more style and giddy up. I feel kind of like a grandma driving it, the wheels and tinted tail lights helped but I really think it needs more go, but the catch is it only has 54k and is 2008 so still under warranty. Shot me your ideas for looks and HPs, thanks.

Looks - pfyc.com Inferno Kit and SE rear valance. Also removed GM squares.

Power - Turbo or top swap, for substantial gains, for much less, CAI and exhaust, preferable Borla, GM V6s aren't the best sounding, the Borlas help.

i concur, lol inferno kit...... but yeah get rid of gm squares. soo much nicer with out em. if its hot out just get some floss and rub it behind badge and itll come off, then use windex or something to get remaining glue or w.e off car. it will come out really good. u may need to use a hair dryer for a small bit.

Oh yeah, skip the Inferno spoiler, get the SP spoiler or whatever they call the GXP spoiler when it's not on a GXP, lol.

your best bet is to either top swap it or get a turbo

tint your back up lights and third brake light, window tint, inferno hood is a must. KnN filter kit, buy a tuned computer so if you have to take your car in for warranty work just switch them, Don Rome strut braces,

honestly man go to zzperformace.com enter the grand prix section and have fun... there is probley not a better 3800 specific shop in the country I.M.H.O. If have specific questions about tech. related stuff go to glub gp.com. The guys there are mostly dumb *** kids, but there is also alot of good tech/ products reviews for just about every after market part for your engine on there left by more experienced gp owners who have long left the gp world. Just search the clubgp site and I'm sure you'll find the answers your looking for.

As for my personal opinion I understand your concerns about voiding your current warrenty however I think this link: http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.as...mode=1&smode=1 will give you some insight. I understand you would have to add a supercharger to make this work, but I think it will give you the results your looking for.
