V6 taillights look better IMO.
Or VHT those.
Cleaner with no badges at all.
Needs a better license frame.

Crap, that's a load of negativity, ..., Sorry, ...

Don't be sorry. It's your opinion.

I would like to see how the taillights looked properly smoked but the GT's look better the more you look at them if that makes any sense. I'm not sure what a better license plate frame would be but I find the aluminum finish matches much of the body trim of the car. Guess it looks better in person and I'll snap some better pics which may change your judgment. If I was to even go a step further with no badges, it almost looks naked in a very very bland way. Can't describe it but have seen it.

I'll snap a few better shots tomorrow.

Its just because it's an advertisement plate for the stealership.

De-badged is good. My GXP is like that & so is the Grand Prix.
Keeps people wonderin', ...

And being a 'PontiacFan', I like the new G8's. Really, ..., I do, ...

Looks like he's already changed out the license plate frame. If you look it's different in the second picture, not the dealership one anymore. Looks good
