I agree with Lance. I am not a fan of ANY body kit out for the second gen sedans. They aren't smooth at all.

My favorite setup is Mike's. That nice 2010+ bumper and rear bumper, lip, trunk spoiler. Just perfection IMO. Especially on a white car... good god they are beautiful in white.






Dan. Did you trade the Grand Prix off on the M?

If I'm not mistaken, it's the sport lip for the 2nd gen sedan.

I just ordered a foam gun tonight btw....along with a sealant and some purple haze pro. I got 15% off from something that popped up at the top of my browser I was washing my car at work tonight and it was really dirty and I wasn't happy with how much stuff was left on my car even after I sprayed it off with a pressurized hose....so I'm hoping this helps and with all the gatherings we do it can be a group effort! I also got some CG Wash n Gloss, quite excited...turns out will be here for my bday too

i think i figured out some of my problems on why i'm not making as much power on my sc. Pretty sure i need the following:

1) blower rebuild (500$)
2) 550cc injectors (currently 440cc)
3) retune (300-500$)

basically, for about 1500$, i think i can get back up to making between 350-380 whp, with right over 300 tq. yup. it'll be worth it. I'm gonna take it up to DB performance before i pull the trigger on anything though.

Negative - This is definitely not a stock part. Its the Blacktop Aero Kenstyle Lip. Perfect fitment, and SUCH a clean lip! Molded would just be....


RJ got it^^^ That's the exact link I was going to post

I agree, the money you would spend now would certainly benefit you if you did it and worst case you would still get better resale by being able to have records saying you maintained or improved the SC system! Plus you might even feel a bit better about keeping your red G around lol

major late reply... and didn't feel like quoting face book.
I parked in our driveway. the area was filled in for more parking. I found out later that it rained a lot before I got back to MN. Well my the G sank. I spent lots of time cleaning here afterwards. And I have a better parking spot now.

Dawn you put a sport lip on your journey bumper??

On our cars only two bumpers were offered.

Journey which is what you have:


Sport which is what my car has:


If you really wanted to nitpick the differences of Sport and Journey packages, you'd also notice that our side skirts are different.

Do itttttttttttttttttttt
When you are molding fiberglass (BT Aero lip is fiberglass) to the poly OEM bumper, do you have issues with ghost lines in the bodywork because of the dissimilar materials? I stretched the bags on my Harley, fiberglass extensions on poly bags, and all of the body shops warned me about ghost lines......and I do have them. Just wondering.
