Was looking at buying an 09 g8 but was wondering how difficult it is to find parts?
I haven't come across any issues other than the parts being expensive. Drive line parts are more standard since they share some commonality with other GM models.

G8 gone, but not forgotten...
Greg@PacePerformance.com is a great source for parts as well as Crazy Paul for stuff out of Australia. See vendor forum.

What exactly were you looking for? We carry both GM and aftermarket options.Originally Posted by 99-2door
companies like Eric's are starting to pop up more and more. The problem in the future is going to be getting the steel parts like OE fenders and such IMO. Right now, it's not a problem at all.

Sure...if you wanna pay $$$$$$!
Hey, if we keep growing and these cars become classics like their predecessors, there will be aftermarket reproduction options.
When it comes to steel parts, I'll pay, but all the money in the world doesn't do you any good if the parts don't exist.

Nothing right now was just making sure parts are available before I go and buy a g8 and have a big paper weight that I can't do anything with because parts don't exist

There are parts. They are not as readily available as a Mustang, but they are available. Whether is OE replacement or upgraded.
Any "Chop Shops" close by to you?.........LOL
