    Could you maybe take one of the yellow clips out (they're removeable) and run your cable through the now vacant hole?

    How did you do the paint work to get your black scoops, did you DIY or farm it out? How much $$$

    A lot of people are painting them themselves. Much cheaper.
    I actually found a set on Flea-Bay for 35.00 bucks already painted PBM. When I received them they were brand new. The body shop wanted 75.00 bucks to paint them. I figured just to keep my white ones in case I want to switch back to stock look.

    Thanks. Didn't find any scoops for sale directly, but found several PBM G8s being parted out. Sent some e-mails. Unbelievable number of wrecked G8s being dissected on eBay including a White Hot GXP.

    I noticed that tonight when I was on eBay. I couldn't believe how many were being parted out. I guess its good for the people looking for OEM parts at a decent rate.

    Paul, Thanks Alot!
    My wife was like "something from Australia came in for you today". I had a grin!
    It is a nice appearance mod to the rear.

    I'm installing mine tomorrow. I will take pics. It appears that it doesn't curve "up" the lip but actually hangs down - I'm not describing it well - will make sense with pics.
