I'm going to be getting a G8 GT as soon as I sell my truck, and while looking at some online I saw this one. I don't plan on getting it because it has to many miles for my liking, but I like the way they painted the grill, although there are two things I don't think they did right. 1. they did not follow the diagonal line at the bottom, and 2. they didn't paint all of the middle part at the top. I would do this with plasti dip first to see if i liked the basic look, and then get it professionally painted if I did. Just want to get everybody's opinion of it,I think its different and you won't see it very much,except you might now that I shared it with all of you :facepalm2:

I agree with Travis

A few g8 owners on this forum did this paint scheme on theirs. If you like it do it.

I personally think you should paint the grill inserts to match the body color.. think that looks better IMO

Try it with the PlastiDip so you can remove it if it doesn't turn out like you thought it would. Have to agree with MongosG8-body color grille surrounds look good.
