Re: G8 GT More Pics! 56k warning
I doubt it could be here for the weekend.
I was thinking more along the lines of a gutted airbox or something.

Re: G8 GT More Pics! 56k warning
nor sure if theres much to gut from in the airbox, but there is a bit of sound deadener in there (not such that affects airflow.)
have you done any debadging? I like the look of the "PONTIAC" taken off the back, and the chicklets taken off the side.

Re: G8 GT More Pics! 56k warning
Yeah, there really isn't much, besides cutting holes in the box. I probably won't.
I kinda like the bright splashes of flash the badges create on the dark red paint.

Re: G8 GT More Pics! 56k warning
I just noticed, I REALLY like the lip spoiler versus the huge wing that's on Peterg22000's G8. Nice choice John!

In fairness to Peter, it IS a stock spoiler specifically designed for the Holden model.

Re: G8 GT More Pics! 56k warning
I like that spoiler on the black G8. In fact, I think it makes the car look pretty cool. The stock lip on the trunk lid is nice, and it's more modern. I like both, but to me it looks like the G8 was designed to look really engaged. The lip thing gives the G8 a classier look, and it's up to the owner to decide which he or she likes more.

Re: G8 GT More Pics! 56k warning
Current plans to be done within the next year:
two tone super sports steering wheel
two tone shift knob
auto-dim mirror
CAI
tune
radiator cover
splash guards - maybe, i never really liked the look, but they tend to keep a lot of crap off the sides of the car\
chrome mirror caps - maybe, they might be to blingy
First up is the auto-dim mirror. I drove it for the second time at night last night. When I dim it, I get reflections off the dome light panel. It's distracting and impairs the view.

I'm supposed to, but I couldn't let them drill the holes for the bracket. 
We'll see what I come up with when the plates arrive.
