Are there any G8's in SC? I'm in Columbia and just got my GT. I saw one Black GT in Columbia a coupleof weeks ago. I've got the Panther Black GT with the black/red interior.

I'm travelling through the upstate several times a month, haven't saw any G8's on I-85. I did speak with someone in Greenville that actually knew what a G8 was, thanks to GM's marvelous marketing campaign.

There are a few more down here in the Low-Country. There is a Liquid Red in Hilton Head, not sure where the Styker Blue is at, at least one "888" white, a Panther Black and my Ignition Orange in the Summerville area.

I'm the liquid red on Hilton Head - #287. Been here since March 18. What a great car. Have seen only two on the road since then on the Isand, One Black, One White.

This was on Patriot Blvd, the road that goes from Ft Dorchester High School to Ashley Phosphate, heading towards Coosaw, while I was heading towards Ashley Phosphate. Are you off Ladson Rd, or closer to Hwy 78?

Hey Thunder,
I am just east of you, off Reidville Rd. I bought my 09 PB GT in July 08 from Wakefield. Paid premium of course only to see everything go on sale since then. I have only seen one other GT around and I did test drive a hot white one at Bradshaw before purchasing mine. Probably not the same one you have. Honk if you pass me.

However, the only people I ever see driving them are like 50 year old moms. I will pace beside them and they either never look over or do, but have no clue that we are driving the same car.

Quietpro
07-14-2009, 09:53 PM
Hello all you fellow G8 GT owners (and even the GTO trolls). :) I'm brand new to the forum and a new owner (delivered June 30th) of a Racing Red G8 GT w/ Onyx Leather (Premium Package, Sport Package, Sunroof). I almost feel embarrassed to come here with a totally stock car but hopefully, that will change soon.

As for other G8s in the Summerville area, I've seen none. I saw a Pacific Slate Metallic in mid-June on Red Bank Road (which is the color I test drove last year). I took a drive to WV last week and saw exactly three on the way up (Liquid Red, White Hot, Maverick Gray), one in WV (Stryker Blue), and I think two on the way home. I have not seen another Racing Red on the road yet but there are two at the McElveen dealership in Summerville; one base sedan and one GXP.

Would you believe I actually went looking for a new Camaro but the $7000 mark up turned me off. Ended up checking out the G8 again and this time, fell in love (well, with all but the red displays).

I look forward to sharing some information with y'all. Maybe I'll see you at one of these GTGs that Ed's been promoting. I'm new to all the terminology so you'll have to bear with me. (What is a GTG, anyway?)

BTW, anyone care to recommend a window tinting service in the Summerville area? I used Norton's on Savannah Highway last time and got my trunk lid scratched. Probably a fluke but sucked none-the-less. Strangely, a buddy recommended Norton's on Ashley Phosphate so I may give them a try...what are the odds? Although, I might have to kill a guy if they scratch my new baby. :)

Have a good evening/day and I'm sure I'll talk to y'all later...

07-17-2009, 05:39 PM
Hey Ron, I am all stock still myself. Trying to save up for headers and exhaust, but other things keep getting it.

I used GWs here in Summerville for the tint, but the dot matrix on the edge of the windows were not covered. He did place a piece of tint on the mirror to knock down the brightness of the passenger airbag status a bit. I found the tip here.

There is a window tint place off of Red Bank road, next to Goose Creek High, that I think uses a different technique to cover the dot matrix completely, so you don't have a line per say at the edge of the tint. You can't see it far away, but since I saw it, I always see it.

Anyway, welcome and hopefully I'll see ya around town some time.

I think GTG is for Get ToGether.

Oscar

Quietpro
07-17-2009, 10:42 PM
Oscar,
Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't even think that some places would use different techniques and either cover or not cover the dot matrices on the windows. My last tint job didn't cover it either because they said it would simply peel off. I'll see if I can find the place you mentioned and give them a call. I'll have to remember the little strip on the air bag light too. :) I'm like you, once I'm aware of something, it will drive me nuts unless I fix it or find some way to justify it.

Have a great weekend!

I have seen a few red ones. Saw one at my work parking lot with a lady driving it. I smiled and looked for a bit. But it had the 18 inch wheels. Was a gt, just bought from Sentry I think.

I sent you a private message Quietpro.

Come to K-mart parking lot (on the sofa center store side) this Saturday around 10-11pm, I will be there with my g8 as always.

I just haven't been back yet. I guess I need to return. I have been going up to Charlotte for work, but in a Jeep. :-( Seen a few G8s up there, but not sure if they are here.

I passed a Red G8 in the opposite direction a few weeks back on Bacons Bridge road just before the Dorchester Intersection. I was in mine. He waved first and I wave back. Then I saw, I think the same one, parked at the shop here off of Miles Jamieson just before the fire station next to the big church.

Understand completely. I was happy with GWs, but the line with the dot matrix thing and then the other day I went to him to show him the bubbles and nothing was offered.

I had called, but would need to look in the phone book, and I did ask about the dot matrix and he said he uses shrink tint type that covers the matrix.

That's The Kustom Shop. I stopped in there early last week and they seemed like nice folks. I was disappointed that they don't have the semi-metallic, reflective tint. I've had that the last two cars and I like it better than the straight black/charcoal type. It keeps the heat out better and it doesn't look dark...more like the windows are extra shiny...at least in my opinion. But, I think that type isn't very popular or maybe not even made any longer. I can't find anyone that has it. I'll probably bite the bullet and FINALLY get it done this week.

Howdy folks!

I have just joined the ranks of G8 owners. I purchased my 2009.5 MSM G8 GT in Conway just this Wednesday. I drove it to Charleston and haven't moved it since. My first real driving will be to Nashville, TN this coming weekend.

I did notice an SRM one today near Westvaco (IIRC). I know it was between the NWS and Tanger because that was my lunch trek.

I think there is a WH one where I work.

Anyway, I look forward to getting familiar with this car and seeing the local guys cruising around.

my dad has a silver one with grey stripes. But have seen another silver one around. Matthewo, how much are you selling your breytons for? and do you have you stock tires on them?

YEa, i've seen the orange one in the Harbison area. Very nice car.

last december, my wife and I were test driving and almost bought a 09 Stryker Blue Metallic, that was at Hampton.. .I wonder who ended up buying that car, that has to be perhaps my most favorite color of them all.

cool. welcome.

I saw the Stryker blue 2 times this past weekend. 1, at franks carwash on highway 378 on saturday... they were vacumning it out. .adn secondly on highway 1, in between the flea markets heading to lexington. Other than that, i havent really seen many G8's around. at least they're easy to pick out in a crowd because they're so rare. lol..

Picked up mine on June 30th and haven't been towards Columbia or the low country yet - we typical hit the outlet mall in Hilton Head and do a weekend or two there during the winter (have the place to ourselves). I drive daily on I20 through Augusta. Me amd the wife get out and about on a wim quite often so may be seeing some of you guys. I'll make sure I wave. By the end of the month I'll have chrome mesg on the front. Other wise I'll be stock except for 35% tint all around and maybe lower chrome trim like Jeff H20's. Happy Driving.:driving:

It was an amazing trip. It was my brother's bachelor party so I'll just say...we all had fun. The PSM had the "pontiac" taken off of it so that usually shows he likes his car.

Unsure who it is.

I have seen a PSM at my dealer (McElveen), and twice....once downtown chs, and just the other night again downtown chs....

Unsure how many are down here though, when I saw it at McElveen, it was being preped for a customer.

And next time you come down, give a holler to me and Oscar!!! (OV5-G8OrgGT)

I spotted a PSM last night around 9:00pm going through the intersection of Red Bank Road and North Rhett in Goose Creek. I turned onto North Rhett behind them but I didn't try to keep up.

There's a SRM that works on base (Naval Weapons Station) that I have seen and exchanged waves with.

I'm not sure if either lurk here.

I am near Duncan. Have had my 09 PBM since June 08 a lot on I-85. I-26. I am pretty sure I have seen your car on 290 around Cryovac area, exit 63. Who is your dealer and have you had the suspension problems? I haven't (knock on wood) with 20k miles.

Hey, there's now two SRMs on NWS Charleston. I started my new job there last week and found the other on day one. :) He's already spotted me as well. I'll try to contact him and see if he'll join the site.

There's also a HW that works in my building but I haven't seen the driver yet. Hopefully I can get both into the "club."

Are the meetings on Rivers a weekly thing? I want to make it out to a meeting to compare notes with everyone. I've got some minor annoyances that I want to get worked out and I'd also like to hear some exhaust options. :)

If there's a meeting tonight, please try to post a note. I have a few weeks before I start traveling again.

See ya,

I am trying to get a dyno day in the works.


I am broadcasting it on TBSSownersforum, g8board, ls1tech, jeepsrt8 forums.....anywhere else I can....

Me and another guy are trying to get it done, and get a well known tuner Johan to come up from Fla for the day to tune a few rides, I might get ShowZones tuner to work that day too, to tune a few g8's if anyone would want theirs tuned.

We are going to try to rent the dyno for the whole day......so as many tunes as you want/runs what have you.....

since me and the other guy have to rent the dyno for the whole day, prices will change......

Once we find a decent date, I will post up more info, I am thinking June 12th
