Spend most of my time on grrrr8.net and foreverpontiac.com, thought I'd check this place out. I've had an LS since 2009, previously a HEMI man, the LS won me over though. Started with a liquid red G8 GXP M6, totaled that and a month later was able to find an MGM G8 GXP M6.

Chrome blows so the stock wheels are out, sorry. V badge is on the commodores in Australia, which is what the car is. Thanks.

I agree that chrome doesn't look good on modern day cars, but arn't the stock wheels polished, not chrome? Reguardless I would have spent the money on either painting the wheels or at least getting a good looking set like these...

Still too badge happy, Id stick with one theme (either pontiac or holden) and go with it.
Other than that good looking car.

Ditch those horrid rims and if you must have the V emblem get rid of the rest of the trunk badges. Either aussie badge it up all the way or keep it pontiac badged.....I don't get the HSV emblem in the lower grille....its not an HSV, Pontiac, G8, GXP, Commodore, V.... Its a Pontiac G8 GXP....thats it.
Other than that it looks good. The stock GXP wheels are sex, those look like they came from pep boys. Also the V6 G8 tailights are super classy, might want to check in to those.

You all have the right to your opinions, no matter how wrong they may be and I'm also free to tell you how ******* retarded some of you are. GXP wheels are ****, the badge is staying and the girls on this forum are the only fucktards running their dicksuckers like they're looking for work.

Sorry dude, dont like the rims either, maybe they look better in the flesh.I agree i dont like chrome wheels also.Prefer polished alum.To me black wheels on black cars gives no contrast. And i own three black cars and two black bikes. Oh, also dislike extra tint on the windows, esp on black cars, unless your Batman. And not a fan of badging on most cars. Maybe a ferrari one will fly! Sorry. Still a really nice ride.
