Beautiful color combo. The black GNX wheels look like crap on that car. And the blue accents under the hood...…………………...uggggggly on that setup. Black underhood accents and 15x7 Buick chrome 5 spokes please...…………………...and a 67% off sale.

They look like crap because they fit like crap. That sh*t wheel fitment was acceptable in 1990, not 2020. Oh, and the car is a 4x4.

I was around and working at a Olds/ Buick dealer when GNX came out. I do agree it started as a GN with the RPO T2L going by memory and body cowl plate that had the letters GNX stamped on the plate. They were sent to ASC for the conversion just like blk7gxn had mentioned, there was a GM memo sent to all Buick dealers that stated that specific GNX parts will not be sold to a customer that didn't own a GNX. If you owned one and needed a part you had to provide your VIN# name and address and registration as proof. I cant remember if the dealer had a copy of all GNX VIN's or they contacted ASC to verify a VIN. You wouldn't believe how many pissed off GN owners got turned away at the parts counter trying to order GNX parts. I think the turbo ASC installed had a number on it so they can track it. First time I heard about ASC selling GNX parts to anyone, they were very strict when it came to parts, but I can see a few parts walking out the back door. Would a dealer installed sunroof decrease a value on a GNX, yes it was never a factory option same with T-Tops. Is a GNX considered a molested car well everyone has there own opinion but I say no, it has its own RPO. That's like saying the 83/84 Hurst, 1982 Buick GN, 1981 Buick Pace car done by C&C are considered molested cars but have there own RPO. A molested car too me is a Yenko, Baldwin Motion cars.
I should have stated it more clearly in my post, my apologies on that. When ASC removed all the GN parts for the conversions, "factory Parts" such as wheels, turbochargers, intercoolers ect ect, ASC was selling the GN parts that were taken off to anyone who wanted them. And your absolutely correct on the GNX Parts, you had to provide vin # proof of ownership, EVERYTHING to get parts for those cars. GM didn't want anyone making their own GNX
