First pics with the GXP fascia

[NYG8GT]

Taken with a Nikon D40, pics are post-processed in Lightroom 2. So they look a little better than they did straight off the camera, but whatever Im an amateur and have a better knack for processing than I do taking the pics lol.

Just waiting for the passenger side fog light bezel and the lip extension to come in and it'll be finished. But it still looks tons better than the GT fascia.

Very, very nice;)

If you're like me, you'll now admire the newly renovated nose more and more than you ever did the base/GT one. Something about those lumps, the lower grille, the fog light surrounds...just a very nice nose upgrade.

[It's A G8!]

It looks really good!! Who did you get the bumper and additional items from?

[MoonPie]

Looks awesome man. I like the color. Fellow MGMer, eh?

The body shop got all the parts from a dealer I guess. However they could not get the lip piece because GM requires a GXP VIN, or say they say. They also told the shop that nobody is producing the part and it could take MONTHS to get me one, and I'd be better off dealing with a dealership myself. So the only thing Im getting from a third party is the lip, which I ordered from Crazy Paul, and that should be here soon. He shipped it out yesterday, what a guy! And the shop was waiting on the bezel, which Im hoping will be in Monday.

Hell yeah, it may not be the loudest or fastest color out there, but I like it the best out of all them. Its the most business like and sophisticated of the colors available, but it still looks badass without drawing all the attention. I love it :flame:

[gearhead455]

Badass looks!!!! :woohoo:

[nonexistent]

Looks great! Does look badass. The MGM is really a nice color, was my first choice but the GF pursuaded me to get black instead.

BTW, are we required to have a front plate for being registered in NY? I see you don't have yours on.

[NYG8GT]

Yeah its law, but fuck it. Im not gonna bother with it until I get hassled. So far so good during the 9 months I've had the car.

[HoldenMan21]

Very nice indeed. Im looking forward to this upgrade ...

Yeah, it's kinda like having a mullet. Business up front, party in the rear. Business on the exterior, party under the hood.

how much,where to buy,etc????

[GeorgeInNePa]

Are the fogs mounted to the bumper cover?

[NYG8GT]

Umm, the total for the GXP parts according to the work order was something like 250 bucks total. The fascia itself is cheap as balls, like 160 bucks. There are threads about it on here, Crazy Paul can provide all the parts. Then its up to you for the paint.


Are the fogs mounted to the bumper cover?

Well, I think the fogs are mounted in their own housings, and then they mount to the fascia. I saw some adjusters for the fogs while the fascia was still off the car, so I know it has its own mounting brackets.
