    Default What mods do you have done?

    I'm looking for a few ideas, so what mods do you guys have done? So far I just have rims, tint and tinted tails. I'm thinkin of night shading my corner markers and fender signals. I'm also thinking of intake, tbs, exhaust. Possibly get a front splitter. Is there any tunes available for our cars yet? Has anyone tried one if available?

    I can say for myself ..Not enough.

    Its up to you if you want show mods or Go mods.

    I would start with CAI intake and exhaust and a tune ..that will give yo some basic go mods right there.
    They're plenty of places that have tunes for our G8s ..we have some vendors on the forum that are well known tuners.

    HP tuners, Livernois. PatG Remote tunes , VectorMotorsports,

    You have had held Tuners ..Superchip Cortex is the most popular hand held tuner..you can find them for sale on the forum from other members.


    Im sure others will give you more suggestions.

    Keep in mind she's talking about the V6. I know Roto-Fab makes an intake for it. There are exhaust options out there. I'm not sure if there are any good tuning options readily available.

    I have to believe HPTuners would work on it right?

    Should but there would probably be no VE tables for the v6

    I think he did! Plus there's a guy running cams in his V6 so I have to believe he's tuned.

    Hazer put a V8 in his car now though... First one I'm aware of.
