The badge and overlays personalize the car a little bit and make it stand out, as do the G6 center caps (but they are a little pricey).

The badge cost me around $33.00. It hasn't come in yet. I have to call them on Friday.

Ever wondered what your car would have cost if you bought it piece by piece--if what they charge for the little stuff like badges is any guide? Sheesh! Thank goodness for mass production. The G6 caps were about $30 each--pretty outrageous, I know, but I had to have them just to be a little different. Watch your rear view mirror when you get the GXP badge on the back--people will rubber-neck and point to it, especially people in Pontiacs.

When I was at the dealer I also asked the Parts Dept. for a price on four new tires and four new rims, just so I would know, if I ever need them. $4,360, including tax, but not mounting, balancing, labor. Expensive, huh? They can get them in a day.
When I called Bridgestone, they had the wrong numbers in their computer for the rears and said the TPC number doesn't matter. I said yes, it does. The guy also told me that they would have to track the tire down and it would take 2-5 days!!! Price, $250, he said.

Hi! I picked up my GXP Badge from the dealer this morning. Can't wait to put it on. You're the reason I ordered it. I just love the way the rear of your car looks. Was looking at your picture again last week. Also, there is an auto concepts store near where I work so I am going to wander over there and see if they have a 303HP badge and see how it matches against the GXP badge, if they have it. Chats1

Whats the point in using these when they scratch into the paint? I removed mine at every washing. Cleaned the backside always. Put some really nice scratches on the hood in one 600 mile journey. I bought a name brand piece, supposedly scratch free...HaHa dont belive it...

I've had two GTPs in a row (both white) and have had the covers on both of them. Never have had a problem. You can see where the paint chipping begins past them. Roads in south Tx can be brutal with the 18 wheelers

I've never had a black hood bra even remotely damage paint. I used one on a red car, black car and now my white 06 GXP. paint is flawless.
