Default Been a Short time

I enjoyed my IS 250 but needless to say it had to go. Thanks to all you guys for help and advice your a good group.

I bought a 2008 G8 I will post pics if I'm allowed to.

Got my Fsport Intake and Tanabe Exhaust and wheels for sale. I will make a thread soon.

Mine doesnt have the 2 tone but it is an option. I look at the 2 tone leather with matching 2 tone gauges but it had no sunroof and the one I got has a sunroof.

Pics soon to follow

I loved my car and if it had more performance options I would have kept it but going from a Turbo AWD car to the Lex I needed something more.

I saw one at the BJ Brewery locally. Very nice looking car... too bad already have a gas guzzler. I would choose that over a 5 series any day. All I can say is enjoy the ride.

I think the G8's look pretty nice (especially for a Pontiac)! What kind of gas mileage does it get?

Congrats on the G8, it looks very aggressive. BTW, I remember getting the F-Sport intake after seeing your videos of it.

I would buy one if you could order it from the dealer without the pontiac fascias and get either the Holden(Australia) or the Vauxhall(England) treatments.
I don't understand why GM has to uglify a good looking car when it's imported for the U.S. market, but on the bright side it's good to see the return to RWD platforms (without a live rear axle).
