Default Soooo....I bought a G8. Don't kill me!

Hey guys, I figured I would let you all know where I have been the past few weeks. I ended up selling my GXP to someone local and bought a 2009 G8 GT in Magnetic Gray Metallic. As many of you know I've owned both a 2005 GXP and a 2006 GXP and loved almost every minute of it. Im not going to bash the car or anything. I really liked the car, however it was time for some change and the G8 was always on my "bucket list".

The good thing about it is I know the person that bought the GXP and he may be coming onto tech. You will know my car obviously!

I will still be around to see how everything is going. Just consider me Don Rome or DP haha!

On my list of mods
1. Rotofab CAI (I just rubs me better than the Vararam)
2. Solo Axleback Exhaust
3. Either a Cortex or Personal HPTuners Tune.
4. Tint (DONE!!!)
5. 20" Camaro SS Rims, (Spring!)
5 1/2. Custom Plate (DONE!!)
6. 4500k DDM HID's

Here are some pics I took from my cell phone today. Nothing great but you get the idea

Looks like a sweet ride! I've always wanted one especially now that I have a baby on the way. When you get done with the mods it will look pretty sick.

That color is slick. I'm also looking to trade up to a four door. What kind of deal did you get for the g8? I was thinking either a g8 gxp our a ctsv 1. But I think I can get a better deal with the v. Sweet upgrade!

Sweet replacement! If I wasn't in so far with the Monte, I could see myself doing the same.

Thanks guys! No worries, I'll still be around. You were all very helpful whenever I needed it. I gained quite a bit of knowledge and would like to continue passing it on to others.

I'm not sure if I like the looks of that Ford Fusion.
And why do you keep calling it a "G8"?
Is that a special appearance package from the factory?
