USA My new toy.

Well it's not a Toy(ota) but Pontiac G8 GT. I traded my 08' Scion xB and the G8 is my new daily driver. The dealer made me an offer I couldn't refused. So far I got the window tinted (limo all around) and awaiting my Magnaflow and Eibach. Wheels gonna have to wait till i get my taxes.

And yes that is my other Toy in the background.

the tint, magnaflows & and eibach springs should be enough to hold you over for a good while. that will be a clean look.

The base Pontiac G8 is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 256 hp and 248 pound-feet of torque. It sends its power to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control. The GT has a 6.0-liter V8 packing 361 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque that's mated to a six-speed automatic. The GXP's 6.2-liter V8 puts out a prodigious 402 hp and 402 lb-ft of torque and utilizes either the GT's six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission.

As you can tell I already de-badge the rear of the GT and Pontiac emblems and logo. There's two GM emblems on the side I haven't had time to take off yet but I'm going to scuff the front logo and airbrush it gloss black to blend everything in. Going for that "Vadar" look.
