Dressed up my G8

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

The only thing I don't like is that the color makes them look dusty. Unless they are dusty?

Other than that, looks great!!

That's nice, but you can go shove it Jason. :)

Seriously though, yes I plan on 30% tint all around since its legal now in Illinois (or dark as I want, but only rears). I'm not messing with the side markers until I tackle my GXP front bumper conversion, but the orange isn't something I get all hot and bothered about.

I was going for a slightly "euro" look because the interior is 2-tone red/black.

And Ed, they are Matte Gray so they are supposed to look that way.

What, cuz I agreed with everything you said? I meant tint the sidemarkers! Or just buy some smoked ones like I did... Screw VHT nightshades if I don't have to :wink:

By the way, Offsets look perfect IMO.

Def growing on me each time I open the thread. The car does have the Euro styling from the factory so the rims go along with that.

And Kyle....replace the C with a K in Hankook from the OP :wink:

Hah Jake yeah I did a typo.

Correct sir.
it would be cheaper(or close) to get a 17" winter tire/rim package from say, Tire rack then to get 19" winter rubber and risk F'ing up the nice 19's....
