So far plans are pretty simple. Already has exhaust, so intake is next. Eventually I'd like to have the rims refinished, the front end repainted, and there is a spot on the decklid that needs to be touched up. No interior shots, looks like a tornado ripped through it right now lol

The red calipers contrast nicely against the blue paint, very nice car.

Thanks! I wish I had a better camera and could capture the way the color changes in the light...

I love it! Some new headlights and polish up the reverse light bar and it'll look even better! I love that color.

I'm not much of a fan of that color, but I will have to admit your car looks great! I'm going to have to change my mind about that color. - BC

I love it.
Me and my oldest son are going to look at one just like that (same color)Monday, and if it's as nice as we think it is, we will be bringing it home with us.

We'll be driving up in my Bonneville GXP, so I'm looking forward to some cool pictures on the way back!

Definitely never seen that color before. I kinda like it. It's bright enough to catch your eye, but doesn't smack you in your face.

Sounds interesting Leon!

On an off-topic note I think it'd be cool to get a GXP of every model they came in in a picture. Thought that'd be tough. :lol: (GP, G8, G6, Solstice, Torrent, Bonneville)

I love the GP GXP in that color. I'm just about to put my 2008 up for sale. I have the Magnaflow exhaust with an Intense FWI and the Overkill Motorsports tune. The tune is a great thing to do. Helps the tranny out out big time and since that is the week link in these cars it's well worth it.
2011 Ford Taurus SHO, Livernois Motorsports Stage 4x+ tune, 3 bar MAP sensor, Motorcraft SP534 plugs, 160* Tstat, best ET 12.5612@ 108.96 MPH running 0.75 gallons of E85 to 13 gallons of 93 octane, 35% tint, 2013+ fender badges! debadged trunk and rear quarter window

2008 Grand Prix GXP Dark Red, Magnaglow Cat Back, Overkill Motorsports Tune, K&N FWI, 20% tint, 6,000K HID lows, 5,000K HID fogs and HIR highs (sold)

Who's car will it be???
It'll be his, as his 1999 Grand Am GT has over 180K on it and it is very rust, it's time for him to get a better condition car.
I'm really excited for him.
I think the thing that set the hook for him, was when he drove my GXP and got the feel and SOUND of the V8 under the hood.
I look forward to at least a couple of speed comparisons on the way home, although he'll most likely walk right away from me, at least I should be able to get some cool pictures of his car for him.

You can count on me posting pictures if all goes to plan.

We could supply the Bonneville and the Grand Prix for your GXP line-up.
I say we need to set this as a goal and round up all the models for a once in a lifetime photo-shoot!

I'll take care of the G8 representation, that's one of the tougher ones to find. :P Paul has a Torrent GXP, but I know nobody with a Solstice GXP or G6 GXP.

We have a Black 2 door G6 GXP on the lot at the dealership.
I know that really doesn't help though.
