Ya didn't wanna do red man. Lol. Want to debadge maybe eventually but I like em. I could do orange overlays but idk how I'd like it much. Maybe I'll check out prices on that n see if it's worth the experiment. I was going to either Vht the side markers and rear reflectors or buy some Lamin x film type stuff for em n cut em for it. I looked up how to remove them n you need to remove the whole Diffuser n ****. They do have clear with silver or white backing for the side makers, theyre Fricken 70 bucks tho lol. So that's why I may black em out for now n eventually get those in the long run. Seem em on sale on the g8 forums for like 5-10 bucks cheaper used tho.

$70.. Yea F that lol. I throw some lamix on them before I pay that. Orange brembos would look bawse.. Guessing your going to pull the one of the GP? If so smart move!

Lol yeah that's nuts for those little things. I found 3 6x12" sheets of gray for 7 bucks. It's a see through material vinyl that you cut out for em. Seen that's what guys use.
Yes, definitely pulling em off the gp. I'll need rotors and ss brake lines so that's sweet. I'm pumped for the orange Brembos n camaro wheels. Gonna look tits. Maybe do rear Brembos eventually too once I'm all caught up on money n stuff. I need to stop buying stuff lol.

Dare I say...powdercoat them

I probably should, I'll have time now. N my buddy friend hooks him up for stuff on his gtp. I'll ask em what it'd run.

Yeah I'll look into it for sure

I like the orange color scheme idea I think it will look tits!.. ya powder coat the calipers.. do it right the first time.. especially since you already have to calipers off the car it will make life so much easier lol

True that. I'm asking him now. I have a place by my work too.

Nice!

Had the day off today n did some constructive sh!t lol. Put a HD lip on the g8 and swapped out oil caps from the gp. Does clash rn because it's Grey and red but maybe I'll get an orange n Grey one again from reflectiveconcepts. Also took the ctsv's off the grand prix.




The HD lip is such a little thing that does a lot I think. I was maybe going to get a Splitter but I'm undecided. Maybe in the future.

Oil cap looks good, but now it's that orange thang with ya

Thanks dude, if you get the softer one it will bend with the curves a lot easier. Eventually new reflecdome cover.

tires will be here Thursday, n tps tomorrow's depending on work, they should be on by the weekend. It's gonna make it like a whole different car.

Some tires.



Got the tps also. Waiting on the fronts then to get them mounted and balanced.
Also, started sanding my ctsv calipers. Gonna order rotors soon since that's all I need.

Don't tell me your going to paint them instead...

Lol was contemplating it. It's so easy n only costs 8 bucks lol.

No no no no.. This isn't some cheap GP...

Powder coat looks 10x better then paint and no need to worry about chipping especially on a DD don't tell me you don't want to spend the money I'm sure it won't cost more then $50-75 or so.. Plus that's why demod money is for..
