91grandprixGT Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 I have a question for all of you with a good taste in customizing cars, I am just curious if anyone knows of anything cool to do with an older grand prix I love the car just want something to stand out when people see it, thanks Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 B4U addition wopuld be cool.. Especially if you have a 4 door.. Otherwise.. Rims, sound.. (Both stereo and exhaust).. Tint does wonders on these.. TInting the windows and spraying the tail lights with Nite Shades is a very neat route as well.. Quote
91grandprixGT Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Posted May 6, 2005 it is a 2 door, I'm trying to find rims that would go nice with the white, I dont really dig the chrome look with the white just me I'm probably gonna stick with white rims, or white/silver rims as far as window tinting goes I'm gonna have that done probably in a couple weeks by pro's have it tinted very dark, stereo system will be a lil ways down the road I wanna find a cd player that will work with the controls on the wheel, also I need replacement front and rear deck speakers, anyone knows what sizes it would be nice to know I would appreciate it greatly, I'm also gonna have the car repainted soon I feel kind of dumb saying I have blue neons to go around the bottom but believe it or not it looks nice at night.

Dirty Rockstar Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 THis will help you use an aftermarket Head Unit in your car and use the wheel controls: http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28780 THis thread will help you find one you like.. As far as speakers, I BELIEVE the fronts are 4x6 in the dash.. THe rear are 6x9s.. The tinting.. Very sweet. Make sure you post pics in the "Member's Rides" section.. I saw yu didn;t coment on the B4U.. Are you just uncertain of WHAT it is? Or just hate it? YOur car sounds pretty sweet! As far as rims go, there are a few different choices.. You can go stock 16".. 5 spokes or the crosslace wheels.. Both of which kick ASS in white.. Otherwise the whole rim aftermarket is WIDE open.. I would suggest going no bigger than 18" as far as rims go.. If you ask me, any bigger ould look too "G Mobile"-ish.. Hope you can take somethin away from this! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 if its a GT you should have the b4u, i would look into white crosslaces. There's not a ton of stuff for our cars out there, but a nice exhaust setup and some tasteful wheels will go a long way. Quote
Prospeeder Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 no, GT's didnt have the B4U all the time Quote
mfewtrail Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 no, GT's didnt have the B4U all the time His is a 1991, so it is a coupe and has the B4U kit. Quote
no1kicker Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 You could find some hood louvers, 94-96 5 spoke wheels, and a spoiler. Those were all factory parts but are a good add-on if you don't have them. Also exhaust tips, and debadging if that's your thing. Quote
AWeb80 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 lowering it helps with the looks too. Check my sig. Quote
91grandprixGT Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Posted May 8, 2005 kinda embaressed to say but no, I dont know what the b4u thing is never heard of it before, I'm sure if you tell me what it does I can put it into terms, I do have the white 5 "Spoked" rims that I think I may leave on there not sure what else I'm gonna do I'm getting ready to start teardown and rebuild on my 442 engine for my 91 s10 can't wait and I also like your gp adam Quote
cutlsp Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 please tell me you didn't gut a 442 for a s10 other wise i'm going to be soooo :x . Adam's gp has the b4u ground effects which makes it look hot with its current stance. Quote

This is a picture of a black 1991 Grand Prix GT that I took about a year or two ago(it was for sale locally). If the body of your car looks like this one, then you have the B4U kit. http://home.alltel.net/mfewtrail/images/gp_gt.jpg Quote
no1kicker Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 can you post a pic of your car w/ the white wheels? Quote
91grandprixGT Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Posted May 8, 2005 the only thing I did to the 442 is rebuilding it all back up, it came out of a old car and didnt have valve covers and was rusted. I can post a picture of my car I will get one tonight keep in mind there are some nicks and scratches on the thing I'm waiting to get it repainted and the ground effects were the ones off the mcclaren I believe.... have a pic up after awhile.

Prospeeder Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 ok so he has the B4U, so yea, ur car already looks great, dont ruin it with a Body kit Quote
91grandprixGT Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Posted May 9, 2005 Oh I wasnt going to put a body kit on, I love the way they look already only thing I thought about doing was rims, plus the paint job and of course tinting and lil things like that, got the blue neons put on damn thing are BRIGHT I drive down the road and I see both sides of the road lit up in blue hehe, Love it Quote
GP1138 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 got the blue neons put on damn thing are BRIGHT I drive down the road and I see both sides of the road lit up in blue hehe, Love it Quote
z34_nut Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 well anyway. I think that 1st gen w-bodies (top of the line w's) look great with out any modification to the exterior, except wheels of course. Another thing that makes first gen w's look good is debaging. This cleans up the look of the car alot. Thats all I can contribute. Quote
