So, finally something that i'm the first to do.

I decided to debadge my "pontiac" from next to the "G8" and was tryin to figure out something i could do with it.

So, here is what i came up with. I'm VERY pleased with the result. I did a photochop of it and looked good, but i think the end result is better :D

The hardest parts about this was getting the measurements PERFECT and also finding the centerline.

I'd like to thank Jesse (grandmacpubah) for the moral support with this mod. :D

Check it out...comments and questions welcome :)

That does not look bad.

The spacing doen't seem right after the "I", though.

everyone's a critic, lol

yeah, it got kinda hairy with the "I" since its a lot smaller than the others. I may end up moving the "A" to the left a bit

I thought about doing the same thing when I took the Pontiac off of mine, looks great.

Nice spacing. Looks good on your car. Yep, you're the 1st. :)
I searched since it's all the rage these days.

Your Welcome! It looks really good! You know I really like your car! Originality gets double points in my book. When I get back we need to set something up in my neck of the woods to get people together.

Looks awesome! I like everything, with exception of that hideous license plate border!! hehehe. I guess it could be worse though - at least its green and white and not maize and poop, err, I mean blue...

I just used a hammer and wood chisel to get mine off and then cleaned up the residue with a fine wire brush on the 4 and half inch grinder. Just filled in a few scratches with some whiteout (yeah, my car's white) and then sprayed the ol' Lemon Pledge on to shine it back up.:lies::lies::lies:

What did you use to "glue" the letters back on with? Looks good by the way.
I have an idea for my trunk but still nervous about doing it. :embarassed:

An hour and a half dosen't sound too bad. Seems pretty labor intensive

I don't care for it personally, but I'm glad you like it.

(It reminds me of the late 90's/early 200X's cheapie Pontiacs...sorry)

It's A G8!

I would have to pass on this but its your car and I'm glad you like it! I just wish I had all that garage space!

The Holden Lion gets my vote. I have been told by to many people that the G-8 can't be a Pontiac. So I'll put the Lions on it, really confuse the shit out of them.
