Sorry about the link I just didn't have enough time.
mlott132 05-25-2008, 09:41 PM Is that the holden spoiler?
TriShield 05-25-2008, 10:29 PM Kudos on ditching the tacky chrome trim around the windows.
Now just get rid of it on the door handles. It looks real good overall.
DragoonRaven 05-25-2008, 11:18 PM I don't know, the black window trim really brings out the chrome door handles (one of my favorite bits about the whole car).
What wheels are those? They look very similar to Torq-Thrusts.
More pics!
VENOM 05-26-2008, 01:14 AM very nice pics. i personally like the chrome on the car. did u paint the pontiac logo black as well? your car is very stealth like lol nice work
Stingpac 05-26-2008, 02:27 AM Don't like how the window trim is blacked out ...
I like your wheels ... Good choice for your car ...
but I don't like the spoiler ... just makes it look ricey like a WRX.

SGOS252382 05-26-2008, 12:13 PM Sorry, but that spoiler has got to go (just my opinion). I think the stock spoiler looks great and gives a G8 a real nice profile.
That spoiler makes the car look totally different (import rice look).
Put the stock spoiler back on and your car will look bad axx.

Sorry about the link I just didn't have enough time.
I love the look overall, very similar to what I'm shooting for. Question though, how did you go about getting rid of the silly orange reflectors????
Very nice though, made my decision about the chrome window trip an easy one. :wink2:
mike c 05-26-2008, 04:23 PM I like it. Simple, black, clean. I think the spoiler looks pretty good.
I am curious. What did you do to the antenna? Did you just remove the top part? Does the radio and OnStar still work?
Thanks.
Rippin'6's 05-26-2008, 05:06 PM Is that the holden spoiler?
yeah, its the VE SS Spoiler courtesy of Jhp. :)
Rippin'6's 05-26-2008, 05:08 PM very nice pics. i personally like the chrome on the car. did u paint the pontiac logo black as well? your car is very stealth like lol nice work
if your referring to the one on the back, I took it off.

oh, those silly things on the front fenders,..I used vht nightshades but on that I am soon going to remove the bulb completely and paint with real paint ( color matching of course) and I also painted the red reflectors on the rear as well but I did that with touch up paint.

Yeah, I just unscrewed the antenna it was actually the first mod I made to the car, and yes everything still works, onstar and radio, perfectly.

mygto 05-26-2008, 06:14 PM Nice Ride!:D
Polefighter 05-26-2008, 06:18 PM Looks good without window chome, I like....

No no no....That spoiler is a must !!!

See I didnt think there was a bulb there. just the reflectors. Nightshades is noted.
One more question, did you have the window trip painted? Replaced? Just flat out removed? Whats the secret eh?
G8 Ray 05-27-2008, 06:10 AM Car looks awesome.
hetfield 05-27-2008, 06:15 AM I don't care for the spoiler. No offense, but I think it makes it look ricey. But to each his own and if you like it, that's all that matters.
webbar 05-27-2008, 08:07 PM very nice and clean....question for you...did the 20s change the ride at all? was wondering about aftermarket rims (20"s) or should I just stick with the 19"s
Rippin'6's 05-27-2008, 09:42 PM very nice and clean....question for you...did the 20s change the ride at all? was wondering about aftermarket rims (20"s) or should I just stick with the 19"s
well they do lower the ride slightly, and it's there is a tad bit of steering wheel shake a TAD. not much at all, but I think its all worth it if your going to be taking corners at 70mph and racing, then I would say don't get aftermarket, but if you want to stand out in this ever growing world on G8's and modern muscle cars go 20's
Mr. Sandog 05-28-2008, 12:06 AM Like the black window trim - how did you do it?
Would look better if the nose lost the crome trim as well.
All in all a very nice look - would definitely turn my head if I saw it in person. :driving:
nikivee 05-28-2008, 09:32 AM I think the car would look better if the wheels were chrome and you didn't black out all the chrome trim. Right now it reminds me of a Black Bumper car that Mennonites drive around here in Central Pa.

LOL. I don't get the "paint it black" mentality either. Understand your comment, originally from central PA
G8>550i 05-28-2008, 09:47 AM The look overall is close to being the "biggest ricemobile" on the block
Rippin'6's 05-28-2008, 06:11 PM The look overall is close to being the "biggest ricemobile" on the block
thanx :) the post said leave a comment and you did, so thank you.
The Commodore 05-30-2008, 01:26 PM LOL @ the rice comments
there must be something called riceophobia because you guys are just overreacting.
if you seriously think that his G8 looks like a "ricemobile" then you need to get your eyes checked or you do not even know what rice is.
his spoiler is like no more than 4-5 inches off the deck of his trunk....i mean c'mon.
saying it looks like a wrx:judge:
i personally would not get the spoiler because it's not my thing do buy, but it most certainly is not ricer....it comes off the holden for christ sakes.
but overall his car looks great. are you going for an all black look?

First of Thanx, and second I thought about getting the black door handles and blacking out the front grilles, but I like it how it is now I dont think Ill change much else, A part of me wants to black out my tail lights but I don't need any attention from cops, I got 1 more year till one of my tickets comes off, maybe one day though.
Don't like black wheels. Its getto and riced out. But you have the chrome lip whip makes it tolerable and actually looks good.
Spoiler, ahh... no comment yet. I'd have to see it in person.
goatboy2006 06-04-2008, 11:21 AM 100% Bad Ass
I agree 100%:pir_flag::driving:
granatelli 06-04-2008, 11:56 AM I'm sure the pictures do not do this car justice. If anyone here saw this car in person, they would run up to it (yeah, maybe even scratch the paint by accident with their belt-buckles - doh!) I like it.

Yeah, the standard GT rears are "black" enough as it is. I prefer the V6 tails myself, but personally wouldn't want to be associated with them.
