Well....at least the fire is related to the aftermarket lighting system. Imagine if it was related to factory wiring/engine/etc. GM would never hear the end of that!

Not a good look as people will assume it is a quality issue.

My buddy had a G8 GT. Caught fire in the trunk, totaled. He did have an aftermarket sound system though.....

The people that are interested in this car won't be put off by a fire caused by strobes and extra batteries. Merge the other SS fire/bash the SS thread with this one.
