2009.5 G8 GXP Mini-Update Pg 16.

[SSEiMan01]

It doesn't explicitly require it, but I use it. It likes it from what people who have run both to compare have said. I'll be able to tune it to run premium only when I tune, if I so choose.

[gweg_b]

Yeah, I run premium on mine too.

Hasn't cost me a whole lot more, since I only fill up about once a month.

[SSEiMan01]

Yeah yeah, Mr. Kept in storage. Jk

I fill up about every other day or two so.........

[gweg_b]

Haha, yeah, haven't really got to put the miles on mine yet.

But, if I was driving it everyday, I'd probably be filling up as much as Will.

AND I'd still be getting better mileage than the Bonneville!

[SSEiMan01]

And dare I say having more fun? Or rather maybe a different kind of fun...

[gweg_b]

Definitely more fun!

Can't have too much fun with 8* of knock on a supercharged 3800.

Although I learned sometime ago that you can go sideways with FWD, it's just not as fun (or as safe) as RWD.

[SSEiMan01]

I discovered that years ago! Lots of members will vouch for having seen me do it, in a few cars.

But proper oversteer is more fun.

[drift7one]

tint made a world's difference. hence the reason I also did 20% on my Bonneville after I got. actually, I think you were the first to comment/ complement on the post after I did it. lol.

did you also swap in the yellow fogs?

[SSEiMan01]

I did those a couple of weeks ago. I ended up getting free yellow bulbs, and wanted more yellow during the day, so I put on yellow Lamin-X as well. Carl calls my fogs yellow-ception.

[gweg_b]

I didn't even notice the fogs!

They look good, and I think Carl has the perfect name for them.

[SSEiMan01]

I thought I posted about them in this thread already??

Maybe not, I'm on so many *dang* forums it's hard to keep track sometimes.

[CMNTMXR57]

I'm gonna go away from the yellows on mine, and go 6k to match my headlights. I do like the color they provide, but it seems almost as if they're taking away from the light the headlights are putting out.

[SSEiMan01]

Possibly with an HID kit that would provide that illusion. These don't do any more light than stock, they're only 24w bulbs, but the color really helps in the rain/fog.

[gweg_b]

I'm still running stock bulbs.

Haven't really considered anything aftermarket yet.

[SSEiMan01]

I wanted to tint them either black like on the limo or yellow. I thought black would fade into the car too much, the yellow stands out.

[gweg_b]

Yeah, the yellow does look good.

I think black would have only worked if the fog inserts were painted, but then that takes away from the GXP look.

[SSEiMan01]

Yeah I don't want to change the front end other than remove that license plate (when I get new ones) and I need to replace the grille too. Luckily a guy on CHC got me the part number and I found it online for 85 bucks brand new.

[gweg_b]

Not a bad price!

I just realized, your plate is mounted lower than mine. I wonder if that's a difference between a GT and GXP. Never noticed it before.

[SSEiMan01]

No that has to do with how they mounted it when the car was sold. I love it where it is, if I have to have it I guess. But I'd rather not have it at all. GXPs look much better without it.

Not my car...

[gweg_b]

Ok, that makes sense.

Yeah, I'd love all my vehicles to not have front plates, but that would not go over well with the state authorities.
