Looks nice. Check out the GXP diffuser, would go well with your exhaust.

Thank you guys :)

Yes, its a 2007, We had it introduced in ME with the launch of VE from Australia, earlier than the G8.

Interior parts that were changed like key & steering wheel I bought them through an Aussi online shop (holmart). Leather upholstery was custom job done locally here. Other mods like exhaust and springs were purcahased directly from manufacturers in Australia again.
dam it ... shipping from Australia sucks... but have to :( . With my previous ride I used to do modd shopping from US, geeez you guys lucky with the aftermarket competition there ;)


some interior shots for you

Tan interior looks good. Car looks good also. When I look at my G8 it is amazing that 5year old body styling looks this good. Did you have cloth seats before 'custom seat leather installation? Thanks,it seems to be possible to convert black interior pieces, console, glove-box, door-panels, carpet, ect. It would probably be very expensive to obtain from Australia. Maybe one could find these tan components from 'wrecked' vehicle.

i want the same exhaust as you for my V6.. iwas gonna order it from ebay australia very soon.. where did you get yours? how much shipping?
 
#10 ·
Exhaust by XForce, bought it direct from XForce Aurtralia. But shipping was the kill :(.
I dont know if you could get better air rates to US, but I paied some $1200 for express shipping.

but hell i recommend, noticed gain measured with my buttotronic dyno :), and sound is just pure sex (I haven't upgraded header though, just catback)

At first I liked the change from the light colored interior of my Grand Prix, but I think it looks pretty awesome in the G8/Lumina.

Good job with the CAI...
 
#18 ·
