The G8 - Post #85 New Rims

Re: The G8 - Post #49 - 8/21

Thank you xD

It was hosted by "Capitol City Rockets" so there were definitely plenty of gorgeous 4-4-2's there. Including a W-31 :)
 


Re: The G8 - Post #49 - 8/21

Another batch of pictures, including my shift boot I purchased from Redline. Throws quite a few people off ;)

Re: The G8 - Post #62 - Pre-Fall pictures

Why no front plate on the G8??..lol

Glad it doesnt have one tho. Looks so much better without
 


Re: The G8 - Post #62 - Pre-Fall pictures

Thanks, Stryker Blue is my favorite ;)

As for the no front tag. 'Cause I'm a law-breaking maverick ;) Nah, I just had my bumper painted and had no desire to put it back on. Even if VA requires it lol. My sedan doesn't have one either.
 
Re: The G8 - Post #62 - Pre-Fall pictures

My pictures are tagged with "Dun Horse Photography" the others were taken by the hubby. All edited by me :) My husband has a UV filter which really adds some vibrant colors that my Nikon doesn't. I've got the filter too, but was too lazy to use it :P

These were taken today:

Re: The G8 - Post #68 2013 Shots

Love the front bumper and the spoiler ! nice nice nice :)

that single rear shot is kinda a tease ................
 


Re: The G8 - Post #68 2013 Shots

Yeah I was getting shots for my show board so it got loved up in the front. I have one rear shot (plus the spoiler) and that was it :X... It goes into "storage" for a few months and I'll be bringing the Sedan back out for awhile.

The front bumper was installed last week after hunting for one for months. It was a refurb, but cheaper than anything I had yet to find.
 
Re: The G8 - Post #68 2013 Shots

What are the next plans for the car? It's looking tits! Surprised you are about to store it when show season is about to hit full swing.
 
Re: The G8 - Post #68 2013 Shots

You should have gotten a drift shot as well as the body roll. I know that 6.0 would break it loose if asked nicely.

Thank you so much!

Well it'll only stay in storage to avoid it being a daily for a little while. It's been the husband and I's daily for the last year and it's time for it to take a break from the weekly grind. I do plan to take it out on the weekends though for the shows :)

As for plans, I'm probably done... As much as I'd love to put a lopey cam in it or supercharge it, it's just so darn expensive... 'Course we've been keeping an eye out for an ls3 manual to swap into it... Which I would absolutely love ;) Otherwise, it's done for the time being. Financially for the most part.

What's it run in the 1/4?

Not sure, we don't have a 1/4 track where I live (yet) There is to be one in the Spring of 2014 though...

With those knuckle dragging Camaro rims on it (excessive weight really) it ran a 8.409 at 86.56mph on the 1/8.

He joked about that later, but he's not as confident to be rough with my cars as he is with his hehe...
 


Re: The G8 - Post #68 2013 Shots

That 1/8th mile is not too bad, im sure she would pick up on the top end in the 1/4 ;)
 
Re: The G8 - Post #68 2013 Shots

I'm anxious to see what numbers it'll show :) I bought some 17" Kv5's that weigh "next to nothing" compared to the Camaro rims that I plan to run with when I get tires. Only problem is the offset isn't perfect so the poor G8 will have some rooster-tail "stance" lol...

Picked this up today. Same guy who painted the nose did my engine cover. Not bad for $50 :)

Re: The G8 - Post #68 2013 Shots

I hate engine covers but that is clean. Classy but custom. Now get a shot with it on.

I ttend to agree the majority of the time with this comment. But if there's not a blower under the hood then I'm all for covers.
