what is the molding made of?

 

[chiefpontiac]

On teh doors, probably chrome-plated tin (cheap sheet-metal usually steel but can be aluminum, especially if it is factory black)

The nose around teh grill is probably plastic.

But until someone places a mahgnet against the parts you won't know.


BTW whatever happened to the monochromatic look? Is anyone going to install body-colored wheels? (Last had them on my '90 Bonnie)

 

[climbin350]

any idea if painting them will be an option...

That is direction I am wanting to go when I get my black G8.

 

[asylum]

the side of the car looks like a hyundai without the chrome. cheap and unfinished

at the most, the windows surrounds are about 5mm visible chrome, and the GT has the door handle surrounds (mainly a horizontal surface, so not very noticeable) it all adds a nice contrast and lines to an otherwise plain side profile

I won't argue that it does add contrast, as it does. But to me cheap chromed plastic looks tacky and cheap and is EXACTLY what Hyundai, Kia and all the other wannabe luxury players do to try to make their exteriors "look" more expensive. It screams cheesy to me but hey to each their own, if some like it they can keep it. I'll hope the GXP doesn't have an ounce of the cheesy chromed plastic on it. Different strokes for different folks.

Agree the tasteful chrome around the windows and grill makes this car look like it shold be parked with BMWs, MBs and Jags, all of which have similar.

This is a thread I didn't read until today. Personally with the Red, I'd like to black out mine. I live in a small town, more Pontiacs here than anything.

 

[bobbo]

don't know if any of you have seen that black hyperchrome, but it looks alot less like your trying to be, well... bling bling. would probably look pretty good. shiny but not trashy.

OK, I'm a little older than most of you guys, having grown up in the chrome crazy 60's. I currently own a '61 Ford Galaxie Convertible with enough chrome, stainless and polished aluminum to open a cookwares store, so I am not really into the monochromatic look. Reminds me too much of the staff cars of World War II. I'm not THAT old, but do remember the movies. My Red G8 #287 is just fine, thank you.

Perhaps our good friends at JHP could help out? Then maybe the total would only be about $1000.00.

JHP have the SS black side window surround trims being shipped to the USA, the cost is under $600 + delivery from southern California

The only way a car would look like a Hyundai would be if it was a Hyundai.

 

[V8Mac]

On the dark-coloured bodies, one may take issue with the chrome.
On my white, the chrome is not at all conspicuous. A classy touch, if anything.

For owners of the white G8, I'd strongly recommend leaving the chrome trim in place and save the $$ for other mods..

 

[locrzng888]

I thought Bob Lutz from gm said they were not going to do the impala. Thats why I bought a g8, because they weren't going to make it. Maybe they changed their mind again.

 

[BlakeMcCool]

Damn, am I the only one who actually isn't bothered by the little bit of chrome that is on the car?

I like mine, I’m actually looking for some new ones.
