Default Hello all!
Hi. I bought my GXP (2008) last April. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed driving. This car is FUN. John Wilson (Hope you don't mine some pics).

Welcome, Mr. Wilson. Nice car, and great photos...you have some skill, my friend.

It's a shame front plates are req'd up here, huh? Since mine is black, I just left the holes there...it gives me a way out when the police ask me "why no plate?"

Thanks Mike. It's a Nikon D3. For most of the night shots I used the Nikkor 60mm f/2.8. John Wilson

Car looks great in white. The pictures look fantastic. Can you tell me which mudflaps those are. I'm having a hard time trying to find them for mine, most say they won't fit the GXP model. Thanks

I got them from my Pontiac dealer. My invoice has #12497412. $15.99 per two...so,$32.00. Labor $38.00. Total with tax= $75.41. I see most gentlemen here on the forum have no mud guards. I like the way they look and it has stop about 90% of road stuff and dirt from hitting the lower body! John Wilson
