Looks good, if u don't like the wheels i would suggest putting some midnight silver 2010 camaro ss wheels, they would look good with that color.

Interior is freaking huge. A plus since we have a little one. And it's a hell of a step up from her bad model '08 lancer ES. Man was that thing a pile.

Need mo POWa I just may have to photo chop a little to see how it looks. I personall like the way the stickers look.

Thanks guys.

Very nice upgrade! I'll bet she is really happy. You're lucky, my wife wants a Ford Flex.....I was trying to talk her into something like the G8, but no go.

The G8 is a great car. I wouldn't want anything else for the money.

nice! always been a fan of the G8.

hope they carry it on as another brand. i was hoping it was going to be the new buick regal, but they went with a FWD 4-cyl on that.

Great buy! My Wife LOVES hers. She makes 440 at the wheel and has a ton of upgrades. The 5th gen wheels were by far the best visual upgrade and fit the G8 better than the 5th gen itself! Also the 5th gen Brembos are a direct bolt on and at LIGHT years better than the stock G8 setup.
