: Girl with a new 2008 G6 GT needing suggestions
soccerismyantidrug 11-30-2009, 11:21 PM I just bought a 2008 G6 GT about a month and a half ago after my last car was wrecked. It's the first really nice car I've had (my last car was such a "teen" car). It's black and doesn't have anything added on yet. So far I love it! I'm getting window tint tomorrow as my first step. Soon I'd like to do some performance modifications on it. I'm a girl so I don't know too much about this stuff but my ex boyfriend would probably do any work on it if I ask. I'm curious where to start though. Any suggestions?
geewhiz 12-01-2009, 04:38 AM If I were to add a performance mod it would be a cold air intake. I hear "CRABS" intake is pretty good.
Welcome to the club.

Tint is where I would start too! Black sedans are HOT!!!!
Droptop Diamond 12-01-2009, 07:43 AM Welcome! And I can vouch for geewhiz & Lampoon - Hear them now and believe them later!
Just curious, what was your "teen" car?

If you are a dude posting a picture of your car make sure you are not in the picture.
lcplmouw 12-01-2009, 04:03 PM agreed the pic of you and the car
i would start with intake then there are lots
strut tower brace, gtr exhaust, hids headlights, tinted tail lights, those are just a few ideas for not all performance but handling and appearance.
soccerismyantidrug 12-01-2009, 04:04 PM I just got my windows tinted today and it looks sexy as hell! I got 35% all the way around. I'll get a picture of it up soon, maybe with me in it ;) My "teen" car was a 2002 blue Cavalier coupe :o I was just happy to have a sunroof.

Ensur3 12-01-2009, 08:29 PM Welcome.
Love to see new Black G6ers join the club.
If your winows are tinted, i would suggest next tinting your tailights and possibly upgrading your rims or grilles in the front.
killiger2009 12-01-2009, 08:54 PM yes we want more pics plz get exhaust tho and interior neons and ur brake calipers painted
soccerismyantidrug 12-01-2009, 11:24 PM Here's a pic I took with my phone today showing my new 35% tint.
Droptop Diamond 12-01-2009, 11:38 PM Alreet! Nice "20-something" car ;)
geewhiz 12-02-2009, 04:25 AM Looks nice.
Lampoon 12-02-2009, 06:20 AM Why the heck did they stop putting spoilers on em?
I remember when I ordered mine it was standard as part of the GT package.
Which btw, in 2005 was THE TOP OF THE LINE MODEL!
Droptop Diamond 12-02-2009, 06:41 AM Yeah it's crazy how Pontiac would continually change up their designations so that it was impossible for the casual fan to tell what level of trim you had.
My 89 Grand Prix was an SE, which was top of the line (base, LE, SE)
When I got my 97 GTP, that was top of the line and SE was now "bottom" of the line (SE, GT, GTP)
And the biggest change was when they dropped the GTP designation in 2006 and renamed the supercharged version the GT - it caused a world of confusion amongst the old-timers on clubgp.com (3 years later and you still get the occasional "I didn't know the GT was supercharged!")
Welcome!! More Pics!!!!!:D
lcplmouw 12-02-2009, 04:03 PM looks nice with the tint. More pics??
soccerismyantidrug 12-02-2009, 11:34 PM I'm thinking of getting CRABs (the good kind) and my brake calipers painted. I'm not sure what color though... it's between red and black, leaning towards black. I know it won't pop out. What do you guys think?
killiger2009 12-02-2009, 11:48 PM u could do both?

Boys... :rolleyes:
lcplmouw 12-03-2009, 05:49 PM Boys will be boys. As far as the calipers go i would go with all red. they will pop out more and look really good on a black car.
Lampoon 12-03-2009, 05:55 PM Dont worry about it...they did that to me too. :D
maykevin5 12-04-2009, 08:37 AM That's because we heard you liked it up the tail pipes.. lol.. J/K

I'll probably have to wait a while until I get enough money, but next I want some CRAB intake. Then maybe updating my headlights. :beer:
Lampoon 12-08-2009, 04:58 AM Not a fan of the hammerheads on the sedans. Tints looks good.
