Default 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP M6

Spend most of my time on grrrr8.net and foreverpontiac.com, thought I'd check this place out. I've had an LS since 2009, previously a HEMI man, the LS won me over though. Started with a liquid red G8 GXP M6, totaled that and a month later was able to find an MGM G8 GXP M6.

Go mods: kooks 1 7/8" LT headers, custom catted x-pipe, 40 series flowmaster mufflers, jetttstream stage III CAI, VMS tune, IAT relocation kit, Pedders strut tower brace, BMR trailing arms, BMR driveshfaft tunnel brace, BMR bushings, BP catch can, GRRRR8 heater hose relocation kit, intake cover removed, hood vent mod.
Show: SX racing lip spoiler, VG sharkfin antenna, HSV vortex generator, 3M clear bra kit, HSV badges, overlays, Lorenzo WL 26 19x8" front 19x9.5" rear wheels.
Here's a few pics:

Wow those wheels are ugly!
They sure don't look like 19s.
Whats up with the "V" badge?

Bet it sounds glorious though...any videos?

Chrome blows so the stock wheels are out, sorry. V badge is on the commodores in Australia, which is what the car is. Thanks.

I agree that chrome doesn't look good on modern day cars, but arn't the stock wheels polished, not chrome? Reguardless I would have spent the money on either painting the wheels or at least getting a good looking set like these...

Still too badge happy, Id stick with one theme (either pontiac or holden) and go with it.
Other than that good looking car.

Ditch those horrid rims and if you must have the V emblem get rid of the rest of the trunk badges. Either aussie badge it up all the way or keep it pontiac badged.....I don't get the HSV emblem in the lower grille....its not an HSV, Pontiac, G8, GXP, Commodore, V.... Its a Pontiac G8 GXP....thats it.

Other than that it looks good. The stock GXP wheels are sex, those look like they came from pep boys. Also the V6 G8 tailights are super classy, might want to check in to those.



Winner wheels.

You all have the right to your opinions, no matter how wrong they may be and I'm also free to tell you how ******* retarded some of you are. GXP wheels are ****, the badge is staying and the girls on this forum are the only fucktards running their dicksuckers like they're looking for work.

G8 GXP are sexy cars but in my eyes you ruined that. Pepboy rims with a huge sidewall looks like ***. Im sure it sounds sweet but if anything is retarded its your styling sense. Dont come on a forum and bash people for expressing their thoughts on your car.

Sorry dude, dont like the rims either, maybe they look better in the flesh.I agree i dont like chrome wheels also.Prefer polished alum.To me black wheels on black cars gives no contrast. And i own three black cars and two black bikes. Oh, also dislike extra tint on the windows, esp on black cars, unless your Batman. And not a fan of badging on most cars. Maybe a ferrari one will fly! Sorry. Still a really nice ride.

I think your wheels look great Moon. The haters don't like them because they aren't all black, which I think look like crap on any car.
