Default Couple G8 appearance mods.
I decided to remove the PONTIAC and the GM emblems on the rear and sides of the cars. It looks much more symmetrical and cleaner IMO.

j0n stopped over and gave me a nice idea which was to swap the lettering of the G8 and GT. I went to work and got them swapped so now the rear will read G8 GT as opposed to GT G8.

It was raining today so I only got one pic. Pretty easy to do. More pics will come and I'm sure you know what those little GM badges look like so no need for a pic really.

I agree it would look perfectly clean with none of them but the emblems are nice IMO so I'm keeping them for now.

Better, but you really gotta take them all off and lose the plate frame.

The swapping of the letter/number to the opposite side made a noticeable difference. Looks good just like that, don't take anything else off.

I would do a GT TT badge on one side

and of course the call to APS for the parts.

Looks great I love the G8's,
