Here is my 2008 Pontiac G8 GT, which is basically a rebadged Holden Commodore SS-V as it is known in Australia. It has a 6.0L V8, with 361 hp and 385 tq stock. It sits at about 400 hp and 400+ torque now with a Superchips ECM/TCM tune and a Volant CAI. Not much done yet, just the same stereo setup from the civic and some custom LED interior and floor lighting. Also upgraded to ProStreet Lighting 8K HIDs. More to come soon, either a cam or supercharger. Not gonna hook up rims or anything like that on this ride, Im going for a nice stock-looking sleeper....
Im also on G8board.com and GRRRR8.net and my sig is BigRob. Great forums for you G8 owners out there...
I like the stock wheels, I did order some Holden centercaps, which pretty much just have a Holden lion logo on them vs the Pontiac logo, and they are all silver. Ill snap a pic when they get here.
I like these 10x better than the stock Pontiac logos
I debadged the back and only left the Pontiac arrowhead. I also put on the V8 badge that is origionally on the fenders of the Commodores in Australia. Tried to do something different, I like it.
This is the 12" Memphis PR-12. Excellent sub, I didnt want too much like I had in the honda. Perfect for what I wanted - not too much, not too little.
...here is the amp that im running the sub with. It is a Memphis PR-500. It was an easy install because the battery was located in the back of the car to assist with the near 50/50 weight distribution. Memphis is good stuff...
Here is the Billet Prototypes Oil Catch Can, very good investment, the thing really works. Also, the Volant CAI which is also great, and with the tune, it really is a different car.
Here is a shot of the engine bay without the engine cover. Gotta love a Chevy V8.
Here are some shots of the two tone interior. All leather, and im planning on the two tone steering wheel and shifter knob as well. Its kind of hard to tell, but the speedo also is two tone. Its a love or hate kind of thing, but it sold me on the car for sure.
Kind of hard to see, but i have some red LEDs in the roof and under the dash. Looks great at night, and really makes the red in the seats pop.
I love the front end of the car, especially the fender flares.
G8 meet at "Cars and Coffee" in Balboa Park, San Diego. Its held every third sunday of the month.
Custom Sig - Thanks Trucker!
Here is a link to a video about the development of the Holden Commodore, aka the Pontiac G8.
They spent a billion dollars developing this car!

Update: Got the exhaust all finished up now, removed the mid muffler and replaced with a Magnaflow x-pipe and I am also running the Precision Motorsports axelbacks with the helmholtz J pipes. Definitely an awesome setup and completely drone free. Pics or movies to come later!
