The front end needs black headlights. The entire car is black, then there are these two enormous, humongous, gigantic, ridiculously sized chrome headlights. They didn't look great when the car was stock and had a little bit of chrome detail, and they look even worse when the entire car is blacked-out! :p

Agreed. Also could use some flat clear coat on the heads and tails to help them match

Sorry but i'd be ashamed to drive that thing looking like that.

the grand prix looks like something a kid would do to a side walk with their giant chalks... would look a lot better with out those "flames" or what they are

yea yea i get the point lol. I know I'm outta place but when you own a Bonne and everyone's like "Oh you drive that silver grand prix?" it gets to ya. One reason I swapped my bumper covers, no grand prix ever had pig snout fogs.

For what it's worth, I like the Bonneville tail lights better than the Grand Prix.

Lol I Wasnt making fun of you, just poking some fun at monte2k , hell Im on so many grand prix forums. I do have an 89 gp but I dont use the forums for it. W bodies are very universal and it doesnt really matter which forum your on.

Also, I like the Bonneville looks in general over the grand prix. I agree with taz.
