Msm...

I actually really like the silver also. I never do on any other car but these. Lol

Agreed. I don't think there's a G8 color that I don't like.

Definitely agree on that one

I got the tails in today.

[09G8GTMGM]

Here's some other things I've done but haven't posted.
Demon eyes will be amber, I just had red to play with. So I'm waiting on those then the headlights can be sealed up again! I also bought some 2 ft led switchback strip I'll be receiving today. Idk if I'll use them though, I don't want to much going on in the headlights. Although it'd all be wired to their own seperate switch. So we will see.

I re aimed the lights a few nights ago. The shield was too far back so I've since adjusted that and it's a sharp cutoff like the fxrs. Pics will just come when I'm done. Here's with the blurry Ness tho.



I also got a center speaker pod, triple aeroforce setup and I wrapped the faces in carbon fiber.


I also wired up my reverse camera for the android head unit. You can see it in the taillight pictures above the license plate, a little gaudy looking but it works well.

I finally suited up and put the brembos on. Just the front today, I'm waiting for the rear parking brake shoe for the rear, then I'll do those. Just like the grand prix, they're a lot better.
The turds

So purtyy

Thanks man! It's the warmest it's been in a while in michigan. I've had the brakes since I bought the car mid July but never knew if I was going to put stock wheels on or not. Since I kept my grand prix as a daily driver. I can store the g8 with the camaro wheels. So it makes sense now to put them on. Once I get back to my construction job, I work 6 days a week and time is limited. My stockpile will be going on within these next couple weeks.

Install-
Rear brembos and parking brake
Chenry Splitter
Coilovers
Bmr strut bar
Coil covers
Heater hose relocation
Power steering relocation
Catch can
Orange Steering wheel and shift knob
Wrap steering wheel trim
Orange carbon fiber wrap
Swap black seats
Switchbacks

[09G8GTMGM]

So I got the parking shoes and got the rears all put on today. So much better than before.

[09G8GTMGM]

So yesterday I did the heater hose and power steering relocation. Cleaned the engine bay up a little




Today I took out my driver headlight to reaim the 2 projectors. The adjuster kept popping out and wasn't in the center so when I'd aim them, it'd pop loose. Kinda sucked but I wanted to get them perfect anyways.
I also installed some switchbacks in the turn signals while I was at it.

I put the coil covers on also after trimming them up. I got a pontiac g8 with the g8 silhouette from reflective concepts for it also. I didn't end up painting them since we all know that will just chip sooner or later somehow.

Then I mounted my catch can for now. I ordered 3/8th line so I'm waiting on that to actually hook it up and route the plumbing.





I put my orange shift knob in the other day also. I'll be trading for all black seats and some cash this saturday. Then I'll install the steering wheel. Also ordered another custom speedo that will have the orange ring instead if the red that will get swapped out.
