Forgot to update this......

last week the rim came in and I got it put on the car. I went to Masson tire/Goodyear to have it put on since they dident charge me for taking the rim&tire off the car and finding the issue. The only charged me $21.00 with tax for taking the rim& tire off the car and swapping over the tire onto the new rim and balanced it and put a new valve stem on. Smoking prices and great service I highly recommend them if anyone has one near them and needs there serveces. I will be going back to them for an four wheel alignment soon,

The trunk, upper & lower bumper cover are all done :( the exhast seems ok and she drives fine and the trunk still opens and cloeses with no issues so I think she'll be fine. I hope there is not much going on with the stuff I cant see?!?!?!?

Clean carfax it was fun while it lasted!!! :(

Im ok and the girl that hit me are to so O well like I told her thats what you pay Ins for. and then I said you do have ins right? she said yup thank god!

Pfft, cosmetic. Doubt there's frame damage from that nick.

Hey, Joe...now's a good reason to nab a GTP vailence for dual outlets and upgrade the muffler finally.

Be careful with what bodyshop you use, they will go with the CHEAPEST parts available, DEMAND for OEM parts, or they will by cheap, flimsy aftermarket shit. If they refuse, go elsewhere.

Oh, you might as well ask whatever shop to leave off the badges...they NEVER place them right. :lol:

Im going to a the big GMC, Buick dealer that was also a Pontiac dealer too. That way I can get OEM stuff. ;) I was thinking about the GTP or GXP rear bumper already my friend. ;)

Go GTP, GXP will look out of place with the rest of the GT parts.

Hopefully they won't raise a fuss about transferring your spoiler to a new trunk.

I still say for them to leave the trunk bare, except for your arrowhead with the overlay.

undecided at this point if I get the GXP side skirts then it would blend in nicely.

why its a factory wing there should be no issue there

maybe but i'll probably have them put back to how it was.

Yeah...from how I've seen bodyshops "rebadge"... Yeah... :lol:

:lol: true well maybe ill put them on myself! :lol:

sucks man. but doesnt look too bad. did you get her info Jedi? :naughty:

  • Author

It's real ugly but it should be ok, Jim I think she hit me doing 30/40 MPH but I really dont know.

Sucks to hear your baby was damaged, but glad to hear you're ok Joe and hey like you said... Now is the time to upgrade! GXP without a doubt in my book.

yea depending on what I have to kick in. ($$$)

A. GXP bumper and side skirts.

B. GTP lower bumper.

C. GTP lower bumper color matched and have my stock GT side skirts color matched.

D. just back the way it was.

I found a GXP rear bumper on EBay same color as mine but man they want $500!!! and it was a bit damaged!!!

If I find one at a more reasonable price I might just go that route instead of replacing the kit.

  • Author

yea Im not sure what way ill go till I have an idea whats up with the car and if I do anything extra how much it will be. at the very least I'll probably get the GTP lower bumper so I can look into an exhaust.

Just go with a AIT kit and be done with it lol.

Sucks to see the damage, no one ever ways to see their baby that way.

i say option 3 and recessed grilles

so what you going with?
