As for the RS it was 500 bucks needing like 500 bucks put into it so I figured what the hell. The hood on the car still goes for like 495 new so I pretty much bought a hood and got an entire car free.
As for the GTP 1. It's purple...this color is just sexy. 2 It's faster than the Camaro and 3 I can drive it in the snow
And the Blazer..it was more to get rid of the 95 Camaro cuz it was a piece. Period Had 193,000 miles Both rockers rusted through, paint chipping of the rear bumper cover, clear peeling on driver quarter, passenger fender was scraped up, passenger side of the radiator support was crumpled from a wreck, windshield was cracked, wiring was a MESS ( the domelight switches could turn off lights in the gauge cluster) the dimmer switch could also if you turned it all the way up to turn the interior lights on, and the interior wasn't so great either. 500 dollar car i trader for the blazer which i sold for 2750 so I think I got out of that pretty good.

It's ATX which is supposed to be metal free so that it doesn't interfere with aftermarket remote starts/alarms.
It was 30 bucks when it's usually 100 so I figured what the hell.

That's exactly what I was gonna say. Put up some before and after pics of tireshine. Makes a huge difference.
As far as tint goes, I won't have a car without it. Bought a 2009 last year and wouldn't even pick it up until the dealer had it tinted.

Looking good my friend. My best friend had a dark green 1997 GTP coupe when he turned 16. Never have I driven car with such a touchy throttle tip in, that thing would spin the front tires at the slightest provocation.
Also, did the same guy design the Grand Prix coupe and the GTO??? Cause they look really similar, with the GTO looking rather "tame" in comparison IMO.
EDIT: I also like the shaved Pontiac emblem off the front grill. Looks much cleaner without it, that bright red emblem would really clash with your color too.

Nice GTP It looks awesome. These cars are so fun. I built one for my Ex Girlfriend and liked it so much I bought one myself. The Low-Midrange power of these cars make them a blast to drive. These cars are so easy to make fast. My ex's car went 13.6 with a CAI, 3.4 Pulley, Downpipe and a tune. Then we put Headers, SS intercooler. The car went 12.8 @112 with her all season tires on it.

Tint makes all the difference. It's a V6 but you can make those GTP's REALLY fast. GTP's and the Regal GS's are in my opinion one of the best sleeper cars out there that are relatively available to the average joe. Good job.

Ok so the camera is broke..i know i know.....but I have a question....is there a special way the halos need to be wired up? I can't get either of them to work...even going to a direct power and ground of the battery...im confused....the halos in my headlights work just fine but these ones won't work at all.
On a good note the light output of the fog lights is actually usable now...really useable lol
