What wheels are you looking at? Got a price in mind for the ones on the car?
i remember you told me before.. BUT as from what i can see.. when i drive on a pitch black highway at 12am with HIDs, it looks a whole lot brighter than when i do with halogens :S... and i might go down to 6000K to match my switch backs
as for the rims... im not sure yet... mine dont look too shiny anymore.. i should have bought different ones for winter.. but im gonnna wait a week till i install my cross drilled rotors so i can remove them and give them a good cleaning job.. if they dont look good.. im gonna buy a new set and keep them as winter rims..
Wait, you bought drilled rotors? Have you not seen all the posts about them??
Bye Bye: RIP sandrock

my brakes are very bad.. they didnt machine them right.. I HAVE to change my brakes.. and GM qouted me 1100.. so i bought drilled rotors front and back with ceramix hawk pads for under 400
so whats the story? why are they so bad?
i had something very similar on my GP back in the days and they were just fine

I have slotted/drilled Raybestos, so far....amazing. Depends on the brand, with drilled if they are cheaply done, they can easily crack and don't have any amazing benefit...
There are benefits to drilling though, you can google it and read up...depends what you like. Again, I have slotted/drilled...slotted does more for you.

sorry if too many.. once i start i cant stop
Hell, if it were mine I'd take a lot of pictures too...the GXP is my favorite Bonneville. Looks nice!
As for the HIDs, as a registered member of hidplanet.com I guess it's required to make some sort of comment...
beam pattern other drivers GLARE blinding blah blah etc.
Now that I have done that, you might want to try 5000k...still looks kinda blue but you'll get much better output. Just my opinion but 6000K and above is a little too blue, and reduces vision.
But in all honesty you will be amazed what a proper retrofit can do.
Either way nice looking GXP you've got.

yeah i know about the whole glare thingi ive been lectured before lol
and a retro was/is on my to do list for sure, but the only problem is after clearing my headlights i was worried about condensation, so i used some kinda glue all the way around the headlights.. i might be tough for me to take them apart now..
as for 8000K im starting to think its too blue too and i might go down to 6000K or maybe 5000K who knows.. i want them to match my LED turn signals
but thanks for the info. ill keep it in mind

What brand rotors?
*add-in: Looks like you might wanna check tire pressure too, btw.
i like to keep my car as stock looking as possible, most GM cars or high performance cars in general come with drilled only... so i thought ill make it the same as the grand prix GXP and what not
as for the tire pressure yeah i checked that after i took the pictures lol but thanks
