Nice car, I'd have a hard time keeping that thing even remotely stock.
It will fit, and NO to you.Very nice car but i don't think your head unit will fit in it so sell it to me.. i need a new one![]()
I still bleed Ford blue, but like I told you last night, Ford doesn't make anything comparable.As i stated already...way to finally wisen up. Sold the ford and bought a gm!! :lol: Car looks good!
Yeah...I'm already thinking I went the wrong route since I said I was going to buy a DD and not mod it. :lol:Nice car, I'd have a hard time keeping that thing even remotely stock.
The smoke show last night was 100% intentional.They are 4T65E's. I haven't heard anything bad about them. I work at the auto salvage and I haven't ever taken a call on one. I'm sure the smoke shows will stop when he gets used to it. :icon_mrgr

I love those cars but I think GM really fucked up on the door panels. Trade in the Ex or going to sell it outright?
Everything I read says 18/28...but I can't see me being able to keep my foot out of it, so who knows.Nice ride Al.
I agree on the tint. You might find more attention to the tinted windshield in a car like that then your old man Explorer, just an FYI.
What kind of MPG does a 5.3l pig motor get in that thing?
Thanks.nice car, i have always liked them
Also, who's got the best price on wheel widening?
GM had the bright idea to put a 18"x8" wheel and 255 tire up front, and a 18"x7" and 225 tire out back. :shake: Most never notice this unless they were told in advance, but it's already driving me crazy and I need to fix this.
Yeah, I read the reason and I can't see it making that much difference in cornering ability. I'm likely widening the rear wheels 1" and adding tires that match the front sizes after winter.They did that for a reason...
Just another wrong wheel drive, 4-door, grocery-getter.
Crappy quick pix taken with cell phone when I pulled in the garage tonight...

So there's the new family 4-door. It's a 2005 Grand Prix GXP with a 5.3l v8.
The good news:
With the traction control off it will roll a LOT of smoke off the front tires. Wifey was not pleased when she was in the car next to me and I took off on green. :lol:
The car is immaculate inside and out
GM Certified
325xx miles on the clock
12 month, 12000 mile bumper to bumper warranty
5 year (from original sale date) 100000 mile powertrain warranty
Loaded, every option
On the to-do list:
Open up the exhaust
Install my A/V stuff
HIDs
Peel the tint that's on there and have my buddy Chris re-tint the whole car including the windshield.
Lowering springs
