My new Whip.......

That will be UNPOSSIBLE if I buy a BRZ.  I think there's only going to be 8 sold in the first year to an area of over 800,000 people...

LOL! That's prolly the ratio of G8s rite now here in Cleveland. I'm hoping it stays that way.....

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I got my drilled and slotted rotors and red caliper paint today. Sounds like a nice Saturday project.

Will it kill you to wait!?

Wow congrats on the car. I love the G8, one of the best looking sedans on the road IMHO. If only GM had sold it with a 6MT!

This one did.

Thanks! And you have to buy the GXP like 68 posted above. I looked at those but they all were 10 grand more than what I paid (19k) for mine.

[SJ_GTI]

Oh yeah I forgot all about the GXP version. I actually think the G8 GT looks nicer though IMHO (GXP looks a little too aggressive for my taste nowadays).

The new rotors are going on today so I decided to replace the front pads also. NO ONE has the front pads in stock. The only set I could find was an EBC Red Stuff set at Summit Racing. I thought they were priced high at 97 bucks until the Chevy dealer quoted me $200 for a OEM set.....

Ouch, not a good omen for future spare parts...

I'm sure the G8 shares a lot of parts with the Caprice, maybe not brakes or suspension stuff since the Caprice is a cop car.  Body parts might end up being your biggest problem. 

[Submariner]

Thanks!

Now you really have to supercharge it to shut him up.

Rite! I still haven't ordered my rear spoiler. I think Imma go with the SLP version anyway.

I debadged the car yesterday. But I didn't take the front pontiac arrow off because it has to guide holes behind it.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Rotors and Pads are on. But the front end shimmy that I thought was warped rotors is actually a bad lower control arm (They guys on the G8 forum says they are notorious for this) and It'll have to go to the shop. Thank goodness I got the extended warranty!!!! 

[68_427]

Needs wheels.  X5 rims look good...

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Those look good but I like the Camaro Wheels better!

[GoCougs]

The Camaro wheels are fantastic. In looking at getting upgraded OEM wheels for the G37, I was absolutely shocked how expensive they are. I for sure thought they'd be no more than a moderate quality aftermarket rim - ~$150/ea. Oh, no - we're talking ~$600 new from Infiniti. They can be had "good-as-new" refurbished for ~$300/ea from various online dealers but until I see such a thing they're probably just used. Ebay has a lot of 'em used and they're also averaging ~$300/ea.

[68_427]

Damn those Camaro wheels looks really good.

Also, many Infiniti rims are made by Ray's.  A high end after market company.

[TurboDan]

Ooooohhhh.... Camaro rims look awesome.

I've been keeping an eye on Ebay for a set of Camaro wheels. But I'm also looking for a set of after market white rims with a black lip.

[SVT666]

black or charcoal grey look awesome on a white G8.

[Laconian]

I'm seeing G8s everywhere now. O_o

[GoCougs]

Quik - What kind of mpg are you getting?

Few cars pull off black rims well, but the G8 is one of those few. Like the ones in that pic a lot!

I saw a black guy with a Grey G8 with vanity plates in Akron today. I almost thought it was you. He kind of looked like you, too.
