Its about time my approval came through.

I am new to here, but I've been around the messageboards for years.

I'm on Ls1tech, ls1gto, pro-touring, corvetteforums, and some misc GM fwd sites....

So I picked up my G8 GT on April 5th, I picked it up from Ben Maynatt Pontiac up in Concord NC.

The car came with a Fabo-tech CAI, SLP long tube headers, and Corsa cat back exhaust.

Its an '08 GT, 25k miles, and yeah my DD and I traded in my 98 GP GTP on it.

Only other real mods I plan on doing are homelink install in the visor, already got a homelink & extra sunvisor from fleabay. I also plan on getting some kind of HID's, haven't really looked into it yet. Plus I'm leaving for the Hot Rod Power Tour in < 10 days so I'm not really worried about car mods at this point.

Now for the pics:

I had the car for 5 days... then it got strapped down to this

Welcome.
Glad to have you around.
There's plenty of info regarding your plans for HIDs here.
So when you get around to it, kick up your feet and have a look.

Hope you enjoy your stay.

It looks the screw part is coming from the back side of the bumper? WTH...

I think my dad and I may have met you at Power Tour last year in Bristol. We were in his Black 09 GT with GXP wheels. May be a different person I'm thinking of, but the Lemans Blue vette fits the profile. Either way, good to see you picked up a G8.

I had the dealer remove mine...they are rivets...then kept the frame in case I get a ticket. Unfortuately, when I took it for detailing they threw away the frame and I didn't realize it until days later. :(

This is a late bump - been too busy this summer...

But yeah I did meet you guys last year @ bristol.

I'm actually looking for GXP wheels at some point in the future...

If you can't find GXP wheels, try TSW Nurburgrings. I think they look great on the car and the gray barrel matches the gray of the car.
