Nice addition. I noticed the satillite radio antenna on the front of your roof. If you want to get rid of that thing you can tie into the factory XM antenna by purchasing a patch cable. Check out this thread... http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40791

Not a big fan of the rims, but the paint job looks downright menacing.

Thanks Chris -- It is not stock. I need to get the list of mods. I know that the previous owner said he was running in the 12's out in Ohio -- DA was closer to 3000 feet. We'll see what he runs come Track time next year....

Thanks everybody for the congrats and opinions on the car. Can't wait for some re-tuning to get done & the track to open to see how Tigger runs.....

Congrats. :) Who gets to drive which one?

Thanks! & Thats a good question! Actually, we're thinking the GXP will be more race track, the GT more of a driver with the occasional track time. The Hubby is thinking he'll stick with the Grand Prix GTP. But who knows...things change, time will tell....

I could be the old dude but mine is a Black GXP, M6 and I am in Parker?

All of the chrome trim (especially around the windows), logos and badges on my 2009 black G8 GXP have always looked tacky to me so I had a shop purchase replacements for all of them, strip them and repaint them to all match the black body color. These changes coupled with the TSW Donnington flat black rims I had installed has resulted in the look I was hoping for. I just picked it up and am really pleased. I have a few pictures but just taken with an iPhone at this point. :driving:

Sounds like you've done lots of mods to the GXP. Do you do any racing? Do you know what it runs in the 1/4 mile?
