I know that this is a very odd question, but since it's a 2009, how do you like the bluetooth? Does it work well? I'm interested how GM pulled it off in so many different cars...

Bluetooth starts in mid-09. Nobody has one yet.

I just did my first mod. The "bass gain" mod. Just like the Bonnie, there is a gain adjustment for the rear subs. Except... it's on the bottom side of the amp in the trunk, behind the trunk lining.

Sorry, no daytime pics today. Nikki took the camara to work, and by the time she got home, the driveway was in the shade.

now that you got one free mod done, its time to move on to others.

Hood vent next?


I just installed a Corrosion module, I'd suggest you got one too. Since your running it in the winter.

Love the wheels Wish I could have waited another month, I'd have gotten the same package as you, only still in black.

Geez, seems everyone is into the G8's these days. :roll:
I've got to say, that color and those wheels really set it apart. :) I'm still tied up between the 'Pepsi blue' and the orange (like the Grand Am's, G6's and GTO's) if they have that color available.
I've been trying to 'fish' little tidbits from a friend who's a salesman at the local Pontiac dealer, but I don't want him trying to rush me.... I'm thinking a nice January or February purchase date will allow me a better selection of options/packages.

Next on the list is opening up the hood vents and removing that insulated intake manifold cover this weekend. I already took the giant insulated engine cover off, it just popped off.

Marty, if you want an orange one, 08 is your only choice, and 700-900 were made. Good luck finding a new one by January.
