all of those crosslace wheels are 8" wide wth 25mm offset, so they aren't really TGP specific.  if i were going to add a spoiler to a TGP, i would probably find a different trunklid and put the spoiler on that one, then store the TGP trunklid.  the only reason is because of the stickers etc on the inside of the trunklid i guess.


That and its probably easier (and cheaper) than plugging the holes if you decide to change it back.

I have a friend in London and in Waterloo/London (Q-ball and GTP_Munky on the forums) who have 92 and 95 GP GPs, and one of them (I forget) are thinking of ditching the spoiler and going bareback, so you might wanna contact them about trading decklids.  I really would keep a TGP as original as possible, of course swapping in a 5-speed really is so much fun to pass up if that's your kinda thing.

Or even better, a trunk rack, I've never seen that on a B4U, I'm thinking that this is likely an accident replacement.

BTW - After 60 miles the Grand Prix Turbo and GTP where well ahead, but I caught up to the Turbo 8 hours into the race (it was at the side of the road) and Bill who was pushing his GTP 10 hours into the race, shortly after I was pulled over for illegally towing two vehicles back-to-back for the fourth time, and could not talk my way out of it, and was sent to jail.  72 hours later, Bill entered Greensboro with me still in jail for "Dangerous Driving"

The Generation I 3.1L V6 was an astonishing feat of engineering as it had the best of both worlds:

The power of a 4-cylinder, yet the fuel economy of a V8.

Well I think TGPs/GTPs look better and more unique without the spoilers, much more sleek. I wouldnt put a spoiler on my car if I got it for free. Im not really concerned with the car becoming a collectors item anytime soon. I like the car and the small modifications iv done to it make it look very nice, i get alot of complements, well before some ahole smacked into it, but it will be fixed very soon. Ohhhh did i mention, the huge bread bun racks at my job rolled from the wind and fell on my car leaving very LARGE dents, 4 of them, on my hood and scratching the shit out of it, id have to say im pretty pissed! Im getting a new hood for sure now.


Iv followed a few Grand Prixs with the B4U package, both were white, and SE's, one had some old ass lady driving it and in Perfect condition, the other was well  beaten.
