Car is located in Rochester NY, 14616. It was previously a rental from I believe Avis, and then a dealership in Ohio ended up with it. I bought it from them and they had 2 drivers drive it up here to me on 12/14/08. I have daily driven it since that day as my only personal vehicle. Which means it has seen 2 winters throughout my ownership. I took it through the touchless laserwash religiously every 2 weeks, sometimes weekly if weather permitted, where it got a full underbody spray. The underside is still very clean due to this.
It was also in a minor front end collision. At this time I decided to do the GXP nose conversion. All of the body work was done at a well known Geico authorized collision center. New hood and nose piece were installed, and the fenders blended. I had them keep the GM chiclets off so I could put on V8 badges in their place. This was done in the middle of September 09. ALSO, the car did get rubbed up against by someone in the work parking garage, leaving a good rash on the front bumper, I found out who did it and got a quote to get it fixed, which came to $430. The kid who hit the car cut me a check for that amount, I just haven't had a chance to get it fixed yet. I'm having a kid next month and I was going to get it painted while I was out of work for the week when he arrives. It's not too bad of a rash, it's noticeable but it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I will get pics of that tomorrow.
Before that, in July, my motor suffered from hydrolock while on vacation in Florida caused by the NEP OTR intake that at the time was not modified to prevent water accumulation. The car was repaired at a dealership in Fort Pierce FL and eventually driven back home. There was a thread on here about it that went a few pages. Needless to say, they did excellent work bringing it back to life, and it was good as new. After I got the car home, I took the car to NEP and they modified the intake for me, drilling the hole in the bottom of the intake as well as providing a new bellows that angled the intake to prevent water from gathering in the rear of the intake. Prior to that being done, the motor would stutter a bit after going through the car wash, which at the time was due to water getting in the intake without me knowing. Now when I take it through the same car wash, I get no adverse effects, so I know the modifications did the trick.
Only mods are the NEP intake, HSRK, and an X-pipe in place of the resonators, going back to two Thrush turbo mufflers. Car sounds great, not too loud and very little drone. I personally wouldn't mind it a bit louder, but it gets the job done and everyone says it sounds great, so I'm happy. I had an NEP tune in it, but that was removed yesterday since I'm trying to sell the car, and incase the dealer calls and wants to work on the SS with me. I also have 35% tint installed all around and 35w 6000k HID's from Jettstream. Brand new tires were just installed on 4/10/09, Avid W4S summer performance tires in stock sizes, and I also have Dunlop WinterSport M3 tires in 235/45 to go with the car if you want to winter drive it. Those Dunlops were fantastic in everything I put them through and I LOVED driving this car through the winter, it was a blast!
So, there you have it. I am open to fair offers. Car does have a lien on it, so getting that taken care of would come in to play, just to throw that out there. I'm looking to move ASAP, as there is a certain SS on LS1tech that I'm ready to pull the trigger on as soon as I can get the G8 sold. So if anyone knows someone looking for a nice car for a decent price, here's your chance! I am willing to drive the car to meet someone, probably up to 150 miles or so, which would be around Erie PA heading west and outside of Albany heading east. I'd also be willing to work with someone to ship the car at their cost. I'm a pretty flexible guy and if it means selling the car quick, I'll help out where I can. Also, I should mention that the warranty is still good until April 2011.
That should be it. Here are a few pics from last year before I had the lower lip piece for the clip installed, and also it was missing a pass side fog bezel, both of which are now installed. I will also try to get some interior pics tomorrow. If anyone wants to see anything in particular, let me know! We have some nice weather here now so it shouldn't be a problem getting something.
