Very nice shot. Now I'll have to go out and find a good place to do the same. I'll post it as soon as I can. :)

I want to see blue in person.

Hey Joe...Do you live close to the beach or plan on going soon?

That would be the spot for some good pictures.

Is that the ridiculous "church" just outside of Charlotte? I forget what it's called now, but I used to drive past it relatively often when I lived down there and always thought it was the most ostentatious-looking building ever.

Great pics though, car looks amazing as always! :D

This should be a sticky, and no chit chat. Just a thread of pics. :wink2:

Yes, pretty gimungous for a church.

Here are some shots of the G8 at the Big Tree monument in Glendora. That's one big tree.

It's amazing how that car can range from a deep blue to a solid purple.

Dig the tree. Your car in front of it is a great shot.

It is amazing, and this clearly demonstrates why I chose IOM instead of SBM.

I love the color when it looks like SRG963's, but have a strong dislike when it looks like JoeSyko's (no offense Joe, just a personal preference). I guess it's just the un-eveness of the color. Not a big fan of any color-shifting paints, sorry. :(

This paint color is some crazy ****. My color has changed since the first day, not sure if it was paint protection or wax. It's much more blue now than when I first picked it up.

I like the pearl in Joe's....must be that Cali sun shine :)

and this color doesn't shift. It's a purple base with light and dark blue flakes, so it changes, but not in the flip flop way most color changing paint does.

No offense taken. :)

I like the Orange. However, I've seen the IOM in person and I hate to break it to you but, while not as obvious as the SBM, it changes colors as well. In my opinion, there is a yellow that seems to shine thru at times and sometimes it almost looks red. Am I wrong? Was I seeing things?

No I think it does too..sometimes it looks orange, sometimes, a orangyred...its not a dramatic as stealth (which I think is pretty cool too!)

Somewhat, but it is not as drastic as the SBM. IOM seems to change dramatically in the sunlight, but it doesn't really change color, it just really sparkles in the sun.

Looking good guys!

wow.pirty cars...

Hey SRG963,

I was going thru my son's pictures on his phone & I found the picture below. It is the very first picture I took when I first arrived at the dealer. I took it with my RAZR phone and had sent it to my GF and my kids when I picked up the car in North Carolina. It looks very blue in this picture. In fact, it looks a lot like yours. So it's either the Carolina sun or the way the cameras filter the colors.

Already seen it at a dealership. Looked so good, i almost started licking it. I regained my dignity when i bent my head over, though. :D

Lmfao

Can some tell me how to insert a large picture? Signatures are limited in size. The paper clip only displays a link and the insert image icon requests a web address.

The best way is to get a photo sharing account like Photobucket or Flickr (they're free but limited...more than enuf to host a good amount of pictures tho) and upload your photos. Then when you post, push the "Insert Image" button on the toolbar above the box you are typing in to post and insert the image location provided by whatever website you uploaded your pictures to.

HTH....beautiful car btw... even in that small picture it shines.

Sweet! Those are some nice pics of that Stryker Blue. Are your windows tinted already? Either the pictures make it look like they're tinted or you wasted no time getting them done. You work fast. :wink2:

Very nice draper! I'd love to have GXP in that color in addition to my LR! :)

I tried to put these pics in this message, but couldn't get it. Sorry for having to create a link. Any suggestions to get them into the message? Also, there are pics of my caliper paint job I did this past weekend. Comments????


Nice job. Do you have a shot of the car w/ the newly painted calipers? I'm curious to see how they look showing thru the wheels.

To get the pictures to show up in your post, simply copy the "IMG Code" next to the picture on photobucket and paste it within the text you are posting. It will look something like this:

I saw that stryker blue in person, I think it's the baddest color of 2009

Met up w/ draper at the Haddad run today. Here's a nice shot of the 2 blues side by side.

The one on the left is my Stealth Blue Metallic.

The one on the right is draper's Stryker Blue Metallic.

The Stealth is/was only available for the 2008 model year and very limited. The Stryker is what's available now for 2009 model years.

Both colors are amazing to see...especially in person.

I think he did. Hope he doesn't mind. I snapped this shot as he was leaving the run. Them calipers look blue to me. :wink2:

I saw a G8 in this colour for the first time this weekend, I think Liquid Red has been bumped down to my second choice. :driving:

Just saw the first Stryker Blue this morning -- it's GORGEOUS!! :drool: Make mine an ST!!!

Sweet! How you liking that color?

Ok, the color code for stryker blue is 39U which is what I have, why does it show up in gm's system as voodoo blue? Part of my front bumper got repainted and it has way too much purple in it, almost looks closer to the stealth blue. Did gm mess up using the same paint code for two different colors, or did I just luck out with a crappy paint shop?

Sounds to me like Stealth Blue if there is purple in it.

25U = KPOW = Stealth Blue

39U = Voodoo = Stryker Blue

Take the car back and have them repaint it if it doesn't match :wink2:

My bro got a new high dollar camera and he's been taking pictures of everything...including this hot shot of my G8. Check out the little "bling" on the grill. He didn't even intend to capture the sun's reflection like that. It just happened that way.

He really brought out the deep color in the paint. This is my new favorite picture of my G8:

By the way this is what I traded in for the G8....

Wow thats a nice place you got there it should be on MTV Cribs :wink2:

Love the Blue w/silver stripes. I have been waiting to see how they would look. I really like the look of these cars with the stripes

Love stryker blue, but i can do without the stripes.

just something you'll have to see in person to appreciate. i didn't like them at first glance, but they've grown on me.

plus, there's not another one like it. :-)

They there fellow Stealth Blue Metallic mostly purple paint color owners!!! LMFAO I have been reading several post about this color & its not looking good for us with the masses. I think we may be the outcast! LOL Hard to turn down buying a car with 1700 miles on it with a sunroof for 21,995 not including a trade (certified). Ill post some pictures of mine the next time the weather permits here in Chicago. Snowing right now. I do agree that it is a wild color changing paint and looks more purple than blue at times but chances are if you got one & can handle the jokes you wont see another one in your neighborhood ever. So far nobody has said they dislike the color but my friend do joke. Color #'s are as listed on G8 Nation. 590 produced 51% GT & 49% V6. So that means theres only 291 in the whole country that are GT models. If u like different then you got it. I like different and custom. Blacks almost impossible to keep clean & scrach free, white and red are everywhere althought i do like the mavrick silver with red seats.
I tinted the window & had some custom stripes put on & im getting offset Black rims for my summer tires. Should be intresting at the car shows this summer & with the Dodge owners who own the Lime green & purple Charger SRT8. LOL

Gotta agree, Dollar. I see the G8 as a mature performance machine, not a hot rod with stripes. But hey, to each his own -- main thing is they own a G8!!

i'm just drinkin' up this haterade!
