Added a few parts to the G8 today...

new shift knob, with honeycomb dimpling and arrowhead stamped in..



1SD(full option) aluminum peddles, these where a pain in the ass!

(before)

(after)

Spare tire jack kit with new full size spare


rear GXP are deflector



And I also painted the mirror caps (for some reason GM didn't color code these on black G8's)



Not to new, but I don't think I showed it here..
I did a lower panel mod to get more air to the aftermarket intake..

I need a towel!!

My G8 came with those pedals, which I thought was strange.

You answered a big question there.

Is that intake panel modification a whole new lower grill?

Are those pedals part of the sport package? Also what is the arrow headed shifter from, does that come on any G8s? Whats the GTS badge, from Holden? And the mirror caps on black G8s are just that ugly grey plastic?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions, but I'm really interested in the G8.

No, I did the mod with a bandsaw.. its become popular on the G8 cluds.

1) Pedals are from the fully loaded G8 GT, and are sold as G8 accessories.
2) Arrowhead shifter is also a G8 accesorie.
3) The GTS badge is from the Holden HSV (Holden Special Vehicals) which is what the dash and streering wheel are from, and the new wing thats currently in the middle of the Pacific...
4) the mirrors are just a plain black plastic, and are kinda dull.

Do you have a sound clip of the Powerflo's?

not currently. what I can tel you is it similar to the washer mod, but a little deeper at idle, and much deeper at WOT.

I'll get a sound clip when I find my camera

Thanks, by the way its looking great. So you plan on doing a full Holden conversion eventually...?

I'm so JEALOUS of that thing. Only thing I would want would be a 6spd. I wish I could afford one of those. Few more years when I graduate college.

Looks AMAZING Peter. REALLY Impressive.

what I want I think will forever be out of my price range (the body parts alone would run close to $15K)

then there is the Supercharger I wanna install when my warrenty is up...

Ack I don't want to be cutting anything just yet.

Did you go with the SLP Axle-back?

Yes I have the SLP PowerFlow Axle-backs (not the Loud-mouth)

dont do the lower panel mod untill you got an intake (I suggest Roto-Fab)

But its highly recommended to get a tune if you install an intake which can be bad for....*cough* warranty.

Risky business.

I got no tune.. the intake is worth it for the sound alone...

I concur. I find myself using the manual mode more often.

*dang*, that looks nice. Come on Kyle, let's procrastinate my tear down even longer and take power tools to your brand new car!

That looks awesome! Makes me wanna go home and tinker with mine now!

Looks great, Peter...

How many Bonneville-to-G8 owners now...gotta be in the double digits now...

Wow that is one nice G8
