Default Anybody know this car?



2009 G8 GT

Just wanted to find out who the last guy was that owned it, what mods have been done, and by who. Its a Houston car, with 2 previous owners.

So far this is what I can tell isn't stock...

Coated Kooks headers, not sure if they are 1-7/8s or 1-3/4s
Tower brace
Catch can
Vararam air intake.
Custom tune
Not 100%, but almost positive it has a higher stall converter in it.
Dynamat in the trunk
It had a system. I think the owner just took the subs and amp tho.
Wheels are 19" VMRs
HIDs

Looks good with the blacked out front end and those wheels. Hope it treats you well. Front suspension on mine was garbage and I got tired of messing with it.

I appreciate it man. Its not perfect, but I really like the car.

Another thing to add to the mod list is slotted rotors.

Speaking of suspension. Another thing I noticed was the springs were red. Pretty sure that is aftermarket too, just not sure which brand.

I really wish I could find the previous owner. The sales guy was such a ******* liar. Told me the car was put back to stock. I knew it wasn't before I bought it.

You can tell in the pics its lowered. Red springs is probably Pedders, could be Eibach. You might be real luck and have a set of coilovers!

I've been searching the classifieds on both the sites listed for an old for sale thread. I guess I'll post up a thread and see if I have any luck.

Thanks for the comments and the help
