GT --> GXP Conversion car being parted out on ebay?

[zepcom]

Hey guys,

Noticed this today (pay close attention to the pictures of the black bumpers...) repossession perhaps?

Not sure if seller still has the GXP parts, but couldn't hurt to ask him...

That definately is the GXP rear bumper, but not sure about the front one (a little hard to tell)

Does NOT look like the car was in an accident (unlike the RED V6 G8 that he is also currently parting out)

Any ideas?

Just thought I'd pass it along...

that is the most rare color ever made on a G8 as of right now. It is the Stealth Blue. It looks like it, plus if this guy is correct, and it is an 08, that was the only blue that year. I would try to buy that whole damn car!

Ummm those look just like the OE bumpers to my untrained eye

Emailed for the diffuser!!

I already emailed him last week. He only has GT's right now but he said to check back with him later. But that does look like a GXP rear bumper on the one in that pic.

It's a mule, I've seen it in person.

Please ellaborate!!

and by "in person" --- do you mean "recently" you've seen it in person? Has he already parted out all the 'good stuff' ?

Here is what I found on Google about a "Mule Car" if this is what you are saying it is im not sure why it would be here in the states??

A mule car is a current vehicle that has been heavily modified with parts from a new design for testing and development purposes. A prototype is a pre-mass production vehicle of new design that is used for testing and development purposes.

That front bumper is way different from anything I've seen. Maybe a police car variant?

Test mule... Chris is in the know with GM products... :)

Looks like a GXP front cover with the lower lip and the fog light panels removed to me.

[G8+6=fun]

It looks like some-one started to make into a GXP with the parts I see, then could not afford the car and junk yard got it.

[BluYa76]

Yep that's both the front and rear GXP bumpers.

Front end is a GXP clip. Take a look at the front diffuser, you can see it's there. GT and Base don't have that. :)

And I second getting the whole damned car!
