i just went to a local body shop and had them fix some clear chips and cover them...blend them in...paid like $80 for the job...its really amazing how cheap a body shop could be when your not paying with a guaranteed insurance check and just paying cash...they look at you like your seriously luke skywalker standing next to yoda....LOL

IDK where the hell that come from by the way! LMAO you get my drift though...almost like they dont see much of that LOL they almost dont know what to say...

Looks good man! the way you did it is just as good!

Looking good..
Now pop the covers off of the headlight housing and paint the chrome trim black, and install some projectors.

Are you going to powder coat the wheels?

IMO the all black looks bad on any car and kills your resale when you start doing stuff that cant be un done I.e. Spray paint

Arrow

HELLO!!!

Guys I am looking for a CHROME arrowhead and CHrome trim ring thats not all buffed and scuffed.

The previous owner had the front bumper repainted and whoever did the work buffed the arrowhead and the trim ring.

You guys looking for these peices I got them for you all scuffed up practically...or if your taking your trim ring off. I will take it!.

Also the rims. mine were scuffed from the previous owner. You gotta scuff them up to get powder coated so why not trade???

PM me guys if anyone is going to paint anything like this..

also if you have the V8 badge.. I would like to have one on my car. I'm sick of people saying its a v6 with an exhust leak..no its a V8 with a cutout you dip stick..

i love the all black look. the car was only 11500 when i bought it. if you are looking for something that holds its value look at a different car.

+1. Love the black/black look. Im actually in the process of doing this now. Got paint thats supposedly chip resistant so I had to let it dry for DAYS!

Can't wait to see the outcome!

actually last year I was talking to one of the guys that is on a TV show about collectible cars..

I told him what I had. He said not now but because of Pontiac being gone. The GXP line being the top of the line and rare as it was..these cars will of course go down in price but when time comes to be a collectible..a very nice investment if kept in good shape.

So if anyone has a GXP of any kind its worth keeping nice.
