And just a snap of my Red Hot interior.

 

That looks really good. Ive been debating doing this on my silver g8gt and your pics just convinced me.

 

Looks great!

 

how difficult was it to take off and put back on. Looks great btw!

 

Thanks! I didn't do the work, it was the painter who installed it, but from what I hear they aren't difficult.

Looks good....

On the other car, do you have smoked headlights? where'd you get them??

Thanks! That's my friend's (the painter), he did it himself with a mix of clearcoat and gloss black.

Looks good! Are those 18's or 19's?

Thanks! 19x8 BremmerKraft BR-09 black-chrome wheels.

I think I like that gloss black diffuser.

 

Yeah, the gloss black diffuser really helps the overall look. I'm not a fan of fading black plastic trim. I got some extra shots here that my wife took for me. I totally forgot to ask my painter to black out the G8 and GT letters on the back, so after seeing the pics, my wife took them off, and is going to have them blacked out soon and applied. I did a photoshop of them that I really like. But anyways, here's a few more pics.

 

Here, she took off the G8 and GT, but I don't like it, so they are getting blacked out and getting put back on.

Two quick photoshops. I like the black better than debadge for sure.

 

Some red or tinted red Spyder LED tail lights would tie those small red accents together with the rear VERY nicely. Tinted red would help tie both the red and the black together for a cohesive look.

 

I've been really contemplating some of the Spyder taillights. It would either be red or smoked for sure. But I'm just not really sure exactly what I want, or whether or not I really like the Spyders enough to pull the trigger. I'm not a fan of dark tinted sprayed lights, so it'll either be the black, red, or red/smoke untouched.

Care to share any pics that may convince me? MGM only.

 

They're a VERY nice compliment to the G8 rear IMO. I did a quick tour of my G8 library on my hard drive. LOL I have one MGM with smoked red lenses but can't find the normal red lenses (on an MGM) at the moment.

Here's a link to a thread...I coincidentally posted in.

Best I could do on short notice. PBM with full red Spyder tails. Sorry.

 

Hmmm, yeah I don't think the bright red would be good... But damn, those smoke/red looks REALLY good on the MGM and would go very nice with my theme!

Loving this pic!

 

Yes! They have so much more depth in person too!

 

Yep. I think I'm sold! Thanks for the help Blitz!

 

Glad I could help!

 

I'm seeing some great prices on ebay for these things too! It also helps the wife approves of them.

 

GXP Blacked out as well

You can see from my signature that I did much the same with my GXP M6. I just installed Spyder Black LED Tail Lights today. Took some pix in the shop but you can't see anything from these. I'll post some out door pix tomorrow.

I can't see your signature. Post up some pics!

 

Had to revive this thread....Looking good!!! Glad to see some others painting the raw plastics gloss black. I just think it gives it a finish look.

I ended up installing the black Spyder tails and painted the top part with a translucent red. This gives it a dark look while being legal, as they aren't tinted or smoked.

 

Seriously thinking I'm going to go the gloss route.

dooo it.....lol

 

Ok. That's now the plan. lol

Did you paint the honeycomb gloss too or is it different? Would the black section on the mirrors be too much?

 

I ended up doing the lower and upper honeycomb grills and foglight surrounds. I didn't do my mirrors though and I still need to do my rear diffuser.

I think the black portion of the side view mirrors painted gloss black would flow nicely. Looks like I'm adding that to my spring time list as well.

 

I can't remember if the mirrors are textured at all though. That would make a difference on if you could easily do it or not (and it look right).

 

The mirrors and diffuser have a haircell finish. Hollo, when you had yours painted did they smooth that out or paint it just the way it is?
