Hello everyone, my name is Austin. I am a GM tech from Ohio. I have been looking for a G8 for a while. But this week the stars aligned. Found a couple that met my criteria, and I had a down payment saved up. Sold my previous car Monday for more than trade in to add to the down payment. And today I picked it up.

2009 GT 59k miles. I talked them down to $22,195.

Haven't gotten the car in the air yet, but mods I've discovered so far.

Volant CAI
Corsa Catback
Rotofab painted engine covers
Red Caliper covers
BMR strut tower brace
poly stabilizer bar bushings
Jet stage 2 module
New RSAs (not my favorite but will do for now)

Nice color and you lucked out with the engine bay being all set up like that. Now you can focus on important things like headers!

Thanks for the kind words. Does the throttle body look stock to you? Guys I work with think it is bigger than origanal.

The TB looks different in the picture.

Is there a brake upgrade hidden under those covers or are the covers just really big?


Car looks great...what's the first mod going be?

Not to mension the clear front corner lamps and 6.0 litre emblems under the fender lamps. Those are not stock.

I think they are stock calipers with covers on them. I don't know if pads have been changed. I plan on doing a full assessment this week. It had a UDP pulley on it, but the dealer that sold it put a stock one back on it before they sold it.
