Nice man! I'd lose the caliper covers and paint the actual ones, just my opinion. Love the clear side markers.

I gave $22,195 for it. I was looking at another one for $21,900 with no mods. This one has over $3k in upgrades alone. It also has both options except for a sunroof. Sport package (19" wheels, leather steering wheel, sport pedals), Premium package (leather heated seats, leather shift ****, both power seats)

I used to think my Monte was "fast" but this G8 will pull 20-120 like no bodies business. Need to dyno it, but I'm guessing ~390HP/425TQ at the wheels.
