    I decided to change up my exhaust after 7 years. I want higher quality, bolt-on cat converters that don't go bad so quickly and a better exhaust note without drone, so I went with Kooks mids with green cats and Corsa catback.

    Maryland Speed has had some killer deals since the beginning of the year.

    Retrofitted a VXR8 white cluster face

    Came out nice, only a few warning lights are in different locations. Seems to only be the tire pressure light (G8 LED screen alerts you anyway), low traction (also comes up on the LED screen), and 1->4 Shift Warning Light (not sure about this one) that are in different locations.

    All other lights seem functional.

    I really like the look. I put some carbon vinyl wrap (for now, may try to find some semi translucent material with a logo of some sort as there are backlights behind the vinyl for the "Pontiac" and "G8" that were on the same area on the stock cluster) in place of the Led screens that would have been on the VXR8

    I only paid $12 Shipped from Australia on eBay, so much cheaper than an overlay.

    Took the insurance off recently. Yes it has come to that.. sits un-driven. Actually should have done this long ago when i started storing the G8 in the Winter. Left Comprehensive on in case the house would burn down or fall on it. I'll call when it warms up to start the insurance again.
