Rob Moser 04-17-2008, 08:18 PM RED G8's sux -- wife wanted black, I wanted red, we bought WHITE...
The worst.... I get to look at my son's red GTO (same color code) all summer.
I did the extreme customization tho.... have TireRack CUSTOM CHROME lug nuts on 19" sport wheels.
Waiting for S.F. 's CUSTOM POLISHED EXHAUST!

Looks like an emblem for the dealership. :damnyou:
BriskG8GT 04-17-2008, 10:37 PM Thanks for the comments.
Yea that is the dealer emblem. coming off soon.
Red888 04-18-2008, 12:03 AM Congrats! Red is hot. Enjoy!
888GT#31 04-18-2008, 12:04 AM Good to see another red! Looks like a twin! I'm glad here in Jax you don't have to have a front plate. They should get rid of that rule.
Foster'sguy 04-18-2008, 02:27 AM Almost got that color, but went with black instead........ Beautiful car regardless!
Urthman 04-18-2008, 10:00 AM I thought the "sport" package had the 19's with the summer only tires. Is that incorrect?
Slizzo 04-18-2008, 10:28 AM Well, that's what it looks like is on the car, so yes? :)
Urthman 04-18-2008, 11:46 AM Well, that's what it looks like is on the car, so yes? :)
Not to me. The 19's have the split 5 rims, not the solid ones like that.
Am I wrong?
JLockhart 04-18-2008, 12:16 PM Your car may be red, but it's making me green. Beautiful. And I still have not seen one in person yet!
BriskG8GT 04-18-2008, 02:16 PM Those are the 19s from the sport package. Non-split. The splits are 18s
Urthman 04-18-2008, 03:01 PM Those are the 19s from the sport package. Non-split. The splits are 18s
Really? I have 18s on mine and they are not split, not sport package. Strange. I was told that the sport package only came with the split wheels and summer only tires. Maybe my dealer didn't know what they were talking about.
BriskG8GT 04-18-2008, 03:03 PM Hmmmmm, i know that my 19s are the summer only tires. If that helps. LOL
Urthman 04-18-2008, 03:05 PM Who knows...no big deal. I just liked the splits better and wanted them with the all season tires, which they don't offer.

The splits come on the V-6 sedans.
Urthman 04-18-2008, 03:41 PM The splits come on the V-6 sedans.
Well that's dumb.
Cajun 04-18-2008, 07:14 PM Awesome!!!!!! Welcome to the club!
I would have gotten red or orange, but it's my wife's DD. So, she would only accept "non attention getting" colors. So, I got Mag gray. :whine:
Ryan M 04-19-2008, 05:36 AM I wasn't the biggest red fan until I saw it on a G8.
Welcome!
V8Mac 04-19-2008, 08:29 AM Sweet looking ride!
I avoided red after owning several red cars for the following reasons:
1. cops' attention
2. higher insurance rates
3. midlife crisis stigma
dodson914 04-19-2008, 10:20 AM Congrats on the new car. Looks GREAT!

#2 is not true at all. If your insurance company charges you a higher rate for owning a red car you need to switch companies.
I got into an argument with my future brother-in-law about this. We called a friend that owns an All State branch and he said it absolutely does NOT change your rates based on the color of your car.

That's true. At least here in Canada I don't think they can or are allowed to do that anymore.
Besides, didn't you know, Silver cars are the most likely to get in an accident since they blend in with the colour of the road. Now you know!
