Woke up this morning and decided it was time to make my white 05 SE look like a GT. Have a few questions and couldnt find too much through searching.

1) Is there anywhere to buy a complete GT body kit other then trying to find the parts from junk yards?

2) There are alot of aftermarket spoilers on ebay for the car that come painted and ready to bolt on for around a $100. Wondering if these were any good? Here is the one Im looking at. Link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pontiac-Grand-Am-2003-2004-2005-Spoiler-New-Painted_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33638QQihZ002QQ itemZ120047256643QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW)

3) I did find from searching that the bumpers should bolt right on in place of the stock SE bumper. I have found a few GT rear bumpers from various salvage yards. Do i need the whole assembly or just the bumper fascia(sp)? Also if I find a black one will I run into problems having it painted white?

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you are lucky, you can find used GT bumpers from people who are installing aftermarket kits. Having them painted in your color is a big help. They charge around $300 a bumper for paint in my area. I believe that you may need the fender liners too.

I found a used SE bumper on ebay for a third of what the insurance gave me when I hit a deer. I also got a used hood for less than what they gave me for repairing my stock hood.

The link to the ebay auction doesn't work. I did look it up (120047256643) and it is a standard GA spoiler. You can find used ones cheaper. Some people may trade their trunk lid with spoiler for your plain lid. It saves them from removing their spoiler, welding holes shut and painting.

I have a used white spoiler that I was thinking of using in the winter but I would sell it. I'm sure there are others.

i was able to snag one up from here/gagt (front, rear, side, and ribs). It was black and been sitting in my garage for a while now (just gotta get some money to get it painted white)
