DANG, That's one sexy machine!! Personally, i don't like the wing, but then again I hate most wings, i want to find a 00+ SSEi w/o the wing, that would be bad a$$. I like the mods so far, and i definitely want to see that thing in person. Local dealer has a Red one with the machined wheels, that is a beautiful car as well.

Why did they have that stupid cover over the intake, which looks like the same thing?

Yeah, I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but that wing is turning me off, I have no idea why, to be honest. But, it is your car and if you like it, then who am I to tell you to change it.

Re: Panther Black G8 GT.. (56K) new pics, Page 5
those are the wheels that the GXP is getting I believe.
Also I HATE the front bumper on that car, and the interior COLOR. But I love the center section of the dash (already got part of it on the way)

I'm the opposite. I love the front of the car and the interior color(s). It looks so awesome. I wonder if it's a bolt-on swap to the G8?

Re: Panther Black G8 GT.. (56K) new pics, Page 5
I have to agree that I dont like the front bumper(looks almost like an mitsu evo or something) or color of the interior. The two-tone scheme does look amazing though. I love the seat design, and especially the tail lights.Peterg22000 wrote:those are the wheels that the GXP is getting I believe.

I know there was a discussion about how to make the tails look better. I think a swap is a possibility!
The rims are by far my favorite. So open, and show off those amazing brakes.

Those remind me of Maserati wheels, actually. The ones that look like circular deer antlers.
