eh, i think the G8 looked better, but to each their own. if the G8's were plentiful, i would say your car looks unique now. but since the g8's are super rare already, just leaving it stock still makes it a unique vehicle as it is.

not saying your car doesn't look nice though.

Looks great! I really like the wheeels and badging...and of course the CAI and radiator cover! Thanks for making our products a part of your mods.
