Default bought a new Daylie couple weeks ago

Well since the girlfriend basically wife by common law Lol got Prego i decided she needed a nice new daily. so i found a damn good deal on this g8 which was what i was looking for anyways and bought it right away. Here some pics from yesterday on the new wheels. Mods hopefully installed today will be pacessetter headers it had ax pipe and then install kooks axle back. Lmk what u think.

Glad I could help.Looks clean murdered out and knowing it was a low mileage/1 owner car makes all the difference.

Thanks everyone, I got the headers on this weekend. Pacesetters coated with Vht high heat paint, x pipe and kooks axleback , still untuned. Tested it out last night from the woodlands to Webster and it got 22.7 mpg at 71 mph.

Looks badass. Would love to see it with powdercoated-black exterior trim.

These heavy cars get quick with the regular mods. Just a did a converter for an article and I can tell you that my car is much quicker with it, check old times in sig:
