You may not like the whole idea...but ... that's your opinion. The car is only a base 2.2L ... so this should be a cool "upgrade"!!

the g6 came in I4 2.4L, 3.5L V6, 3.9L V6. The GT model came in 3.5L and optional 3.9. The GTP came 3.9L.. didnt you say you were putting a G6 GT engine into it??

I painted my headlights black yesterday, installed them last night, but it was too dark to take pics.

Sooooo i went out this morning to take pics, there was ice on the car so i ran it, drove to timmies to warm it up and get all the ice off for pics. AND (fyi i have a beginners license) the cops in Truro hate me by the way cause I tint my lights and live on there street, and they hate listening to my car everyday, they pulled me over two weeks ago and had three cop cars involved, gave me a ticket for driving past 12pm ($225), and today i was driving all casual. and i noticed a car following me, a silver Grand Prix. i didnt think much of it at the time. I was on my way home and i decided to go get a car wash so i got out of a turning lane and went straight. The grand prix followed. I came to the next light, it was a bit slick, it went green my tires spun a tiny bit, and i went down the street and made a right turn, And BAM, a marked cop car was dead in front of me with its lights on and the grand prix pulled up behind me with hidden lights also lit up...

They come up to the car freakin on me telling me to turn the car off and throw the keys out. i do it, and they start freaking telling me i was gonna kill someone, and what was i thinking, and telling me i was Criminally Evading them, A criminal charge...... Like WTF... needless to say a bit extreme.. They told me they were honking at me trying to get me to pull over.. i didnt hear it... anyways... they gave me two more tickets. Driving without a schedule 5 driver.. and reckless driving.. they said they were being nice and dropping all criminal charges.... Yeaaaa OK... they towed my poor baby though.... does not look like i will be driving much

Dunno. I asked for them for Xmas but all together probably 200 or so. They r on the more expensive side. But sooo nice and they fit like a glove. And look amazing in a black interior when they aren't covered in mud lol.
