    Cool New guy from the states..

    Completely forgot I had gotten a membership with you guys on here till I found a good search for a trunk mat lol. Anyways, I own a 08 Pontiac G8 GT which is like y'alls car but the American version lol. Heres some pics..





    ^ the trunk has been de-badged since that was taken

    Few things I've done is a SCT dyno tune, SLP Loudmouth axel backs, x-pipe, Volant air intake and Holden Commodore center caps

    nice

    good to see americans changing the badges (in your case, center caps) etc to holden, unlike changing holden badges to chev etc...

    at least you understand what they are

    hahahaha that's what most of us call a dinner plate! It's that big and unsightly!

    Car looks great! Love the G8 front! I think that should be a standard on the SS series! What did you end up getting after the dyno tune?

    Hmm.. I don't remember. It was the middle of July and really hot outside when it was tuned, been needing to get it on the dyno while it's been cool. Especially since I've added a couple things to it..

    haha.. I'm keeping the G8 front clip for now but thinking a GXP front bumper in the future (would be now if GM hadn't jacked up the price...) then MAYBE an HSV front end conversion since that look has grown on me but idk, we'll see! lol
