Nice!

Pete, this may sound really silly kinda backwards, but I've never been a fan of Altezza style lights, is there an aftermarket option to change to the traditional reflector style?

Find a V6 owner that doesn't like his red ones, and you probably got a deal.

Funny....I've been seeing cars that look like that for the last week and a half. I guess it helps I'm visiting Australia and they're EVERYWHERE here. Looks beautiful!

Here's some pics: http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... f=7&t=4011

The Holden ones are a bit towards the bottom of the pictures.

I love your car, and I hope to purchase a G8 GT/GXP eventually like 5 years or so down the road. I love the entire look of the stock G8 GT except for the wheels, for some reason I could never stand the production wheels on the G8 GT, I liked the pre-production wheels better (which I think are making their way onto the GXP production model?).

Eh, car has plenty of down low already. No sense in more with an SC. Properly selected turbos will spool as fast as an SC builds boost anyways... :wink:
