What did you do to your G8 today?

Detailed the car and went over it with Adams Brilliant Glaze and the cars paint looks great. I even used the Glaze under the hood also where it is painted and again wow.
I used it on the windows also to keep the rain off also like rainx.

I hope it does not rain when I have to leave town Monday morning.

Took the stock GT mufflers off today and polished the tips up. While the muffs were off we went for a drive to hear the mid-mounted magnaflow muffler...I like the sound so 'm thinking I'll do some solo axlebacks and be good to go.

Put the summer tires and wheels on! It is the first time I've had them on the car since I bought it. Took way longer than I thought, had to wire wheel the rotors and scotch-brite the wheel mounting face... sits flat now and drives smooth.

Go I am glad I am in Texas, away almost from the snow. I was caught in one ice storm in Abilene the end of January and one bilzzard the middle of February in Amarillo. Burrrrrr. I fell for you guys up north, but I know whati its like since I grew up in Wisconsin and then got smart and moved to TEXAS, Oh yes you need to show your ID to get into our state if your coming from the north, just kidding. Come on down and see if you can take the 100+ degree temps in July and August.

I do have a flat black roof now, yup. Just got it on yesterday. I took a few pics of it that were a bit too much for this thread, so I went ahead and created a thread about it.

So today was installing my Spencer's HIDs and actually driving it! It's been taped up for a good five weeks or so. Man, I forgot how well these cars drive...

Looks good! Have you gotten flashed yet? I just put mine in tonight and on its maiden voyage, I got flashed by a Miata. It's a ground hugger of a car, but I may still need to adjust the lights down a notch...

EDIT: Sorry for making these two posts instead of one, mods. Lack of foresight.

You could see the pics? It came with ? mark on my screen. Or did you go to my link. I need how to figure out how to post pics!

Well, I'll post the links again. But, no I haven't been flashed yet. Sitting in the car they don't seem that bright, but I was looking at them from outside the car head on and dang! They do seem pretty bright.

LLUMAR 15% tint and 8K HIDS

I finally got my new wheels and catback put on. The car sounds good but the Magnaflow catback does have some drone. I knew it would drone when I bought it but I got it off Amazon for 375 before Christmas so I figured a little drone was ok for the price.

Thanks. I really like it. I was not a fan of the 18s at all.
