At $USD4K it is a bit exxy, but if you want your G8 to look like a V8 Supercar, how about this ?

I don't like the gawdy wing or how the ground effects curve under the car behind the front wheels. the rest of it is alright, i guess

No thanks! All it is missing is some stickers. :barf:

I assume all the snow and road debris collected at the front exits just behind the front wheels. And I assume all those quick release gizmos make body work at home after a trip to the market easy as pie.

The holes, pins, plugs, etc look stupid on a street car. The front bumper looks like the RMR bumper for the GTO, but unbelievably with a larger chin spoiler. The rear wing just doesn't belong on a street car, and the sides just look weird. The back doesn't look too bad, but then again, neither does the stock one. Just my opinion, but I think it's a good one :D

I agree with the comments so far, but somebody must like them. Here is what they are styled on :

If you intend to road race the car then yes.... for a street car no

I like it, but on a Speed World Challenge car. Definitely not on the street.

ud never get over a single speedbump with that. definitely not good for the street.

plus i dont really like the "dimples" on the side of the front fascia

+1 :burnout:

Cool they make a snow plow for them. Now I can make some cash on the side in the winter time for mods.

Does it come in a wagon?

P.S. Surely aftermarket MRC will allow ride hide adjustment.

that front fascia would be ripped clean off the car were it put on public roads. the look is very race car, but may be too much for the street.

I think Capa are based in Adelaide - which explains everything...

I'll buy that.........but in all seriousness, that VE has more rice than a chinese restaurant.

One word........................RICE!!!!

^^^ RICE YUP YUP YUP, ugly.

Not bad. I wouldn't want one on my street car. I laugh at cars with kits like that. :err:

If I could get wheels like that, then I'll get those.

someone photoshoped that. its actually a v8 supercar- a racing series in australia

Can someone photoshop a HSV Coupe 4 style kit on the G8? That would look killer..

R-I-C-E! :barf:

Cool they make a snow plow for them. Now I can make some cash on the side in the winter time for mods.

LOL... too bad they don't make an AWD G8 just yet.

Please dont turn the g8 into the next grand am

I have some leftover vinyl siding from my house if anyone wants to add it to the sides of their G8 when it comes in.

That may be the worst looking thing I've ever seen...

:bomb:

:offtheair::offtheair::offtheair:

I just puked in my mouth..... :barf:

Now, just gotta add a Stripe, Huge Rims, and put a "trippin" sound system in it with bass louder than a nuclear explosion...

Oh wait.... 50 Cent already did that....

Big Sedans are supposed to look classy, I'll keep mine that way. :p

How about this bad boy!

I get tense sometimes with my OE ride height with the SS-V front end! I can't imagine driving that thing! A year ago I looked a really nice GTO with a custom front end with a low lip, and they wouldn't allow a test drive because they were afraid of someone ripping the front end off!

$4k isn't that much more than the SSV conversion, and it's about the same as the HSV...

If the front lip weren't so long in front of the car, and the wind wasn't so big, I think it'd look pretty good. If they made the bumper more in line with the red race car posted earlier and just kept the SSV spoiler I think it'd be badass.

the sideskirts are to much....make them smaller, maybe a drag wing coming off of the back instead of that rice wing, and the front facia would have to be quite a bit smaller for me to be interested.....the general idea is ok but that wing is the biggest turn off for me.

The wing is easy, just don't put it on!

That is so far out of what I wanted in my GXP I can't even call it rice.

Seems like a combination of the worst Subaru/Toyota/Honda ricemobile onto the classiest body that Pontiac has ever made.

No thank you, sir.

As always, IMHO, but this is not where I'm going with the car.

No thanks, that is really bad.

i like it....but not for a street car...it would get torn off my car with the roads up here in boston...if all i did was street race with my G8 then yes id buy it ...but im out of the street racing game now and have been for a year...lol ive gone clean...for now..:wink2:

I like it...send me the kit.

What is this The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift?
Looks like a shopping cart with a roof.
Now all you need is one of those Coffee Can Kazzoo mufflers.

No thanks! All it is missing is some stickers. :barf:
:iagree:

way to overboard...

BTW what time does that thing take off?

LOL

I was wondering the same thing. I'm going have to pass on that.

Ew, not good. Wrong car for stuff like this

I would just like a hybrid of the pontiac & HSV front end and I would be happy.

Keep it for the ricers thank you very much.

so you dont like this???

How about this?????

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n268/Goofybid/G8_RSB.jpg

IMHO, the first one is still to boy racer....the second one however is tolerable, with the exception of the two tone paint.....minust that i think thats the best besides the pontiac/HSV hybrid, which still blows that out of the water.

II do like the side vent without the marker light though.

If GM weren't tanking at the moment, I'd wager they would release the GT Street body kit from last year's SEMA. That is the only kit I'd rock. Love the front end.

I like the first one without the wing

How about this bad boy!

Front lip to wide & I don't like the way the side skirts cut off before the front fender, it would look beter if the side skirts extended all the way from the rear tire fender to the front tire fender. I could also do without the huge spoiler.
However, it is nice to see at least someone making an attempt to make a body kit. Hopefully they can find a midpoint between gaudy and barely noticeable.

One word........................RICE!!!!More like noodles & stir fry. That thing is beyond "rice". Even so called ricers are saying "WTF is that?!?"

so you dont like this???

Rendering #1: better, more subtle. wing has got to GO! reminds me of the older honda civic with a fart can and wing and everybody laughing at him...
lacks fog/driving lights
#2: the extended lip in the front is a reminder of the front spoilers of the early '80s. :nonono:
I like the fog light setup... nicely integrated.

The first rendering was our proposal for SEMA 08. The concept of the car was BMW Eater. It was set up for road racing. Car never made it out of GM but Hey it was my first attempt with doing a SEMA. Of what I was told at SEMA in 08 they would of approved the car if I changed the color.

As for #2. That was this years proposal and at last minute, the day before the dead line GM pulled G8 from Sema. So I am still going to do a car for SEMA but it will be my own car and the front end is going to look alittle different than this and possible a slicker rear spoiler.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I'm sorry to revive this thread, but this needs to be said.

I have NO CLUE how any of you think that's rice. That is the EXACT aerokit from the VE Commodore V8 Supercar. All that 'crap' on the car was designed in a wind tunnel for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. I could see if it was some super Combat Warrior Versus Robocop bodykit with stupid scoops and **** all over the place, but everything on that car was designed for one thing, racing.

Front bumper:
Centre opening has three different sections, the centre one in there is radiator intake, and the two to the sides are for brake cooling. The dimples on the sides direct air around the car rather than it meeting a brick wall. The gigantor lip is for downforce on teh front end.

Side skirts:
The reason they pull in and up towards the front is because that allows trapped air under the front to escape as effectively as possible, thus reducing lift.

Rear bumper:
That big "hole" is a diffuser.

Rear wing:
Keeps the ass end planted. At least it looks decent, compared to the stupid ass one on the FG Falcons.

Yes, the front spoiler is the same size in all those pics as the one in the original post.

I love the Commodore/G8, and think it looks great. That kit however, is NOT rice.

Thank you for your time,
Matt.

The problem is exactly as you stated, it is for a touring car/supercar, not a street car. I don't think there is ever a reason to put that on a street car really. Leave it on the track where it actually has a purpose.

I like proposal #2 by red_racer2 for a street car. Very nice rendering.

I've seen the G8 Street Edition in person recently, great car.

U B Ugly

I think Ill pass but it does bring back memories of the cars i saw in japan.....
