Thanks all ...I will post more pics when I get a chance. I would like to drop her, but the 255's are a problem from what I've read on here... not to sure about altering the fender lip to eliminate any rubbing.

The rims are made by SM and they're the "Tach" series 18x8 from Tire Rack...the only other upgrade I've done thus far is the K&N cold air kit.


Since she's a 2008 does this mean that I'm covered to 2013 for the powertrain? I know my bumper to bumper expires this November.

The Grand Prix was only a GT and she was an '02... very nice car that "never" gave me a problem. It was the most reliable car that I've ever owned. Hopefully the Imp will treat me well .

The main problem with our cars is the tranny. As long as you don't "abuse" her you should be alright

Seriously, though, welcome to the site. That's a beautiful car you have there.
As for the tranny, buy a big trans cooler and hope for the best.

Thanks LS1, the tranny cool does seem appealing even though I don't race her. Some have stated that these coolers are a PITA to install (unless there easier in an Impala vs. a GP). I am not a gearhead, but I don't mind learning new things and don't shy from fixing what I can. I don't drive around like I stole it, but I def. don't drive like a grandpa... what's the sense of having the extra ponys under the hood if you don't use them from time to time
