Test fitting the new rear diffuser.

Did I tell you guys how much I love this rear spoiler combo.

My goal is to give the car a completely new look. In order to do that the stripes need to be removed from the hood, front fascia, deck lid and rear spoiler. Also it was an easy way to remove the chips from last years Power Tour.

I am also excited that I will be removing the mail slot block off plate.

and of course remove all of the factory ground effects. Anyone looking for a complete set they need a little work but the price is cheap ?

Since the front end is off I might as well install the JDP Motorsports tow hook.

Next up painting the new Deck Lid

An easy high impact paint detail that changes the look of the front end.

Last minute decision Nathan convinced me we need to go all the way and add the hood. I have a pretty cool idea for the new stripe and I can't wait to see it painted.

The rear cover is being re-sprayed because the GM ground effects where glued on and when Pete tried to remove
them we lost a little paint.

Then there is the hood and I looked at ton's of different stripes and I wanted something a little different then what everyone
else was doing. I hope you guys like the final picture as much as I do.

The Autobots logo going byebye?

Car is looking great! I like the ZL1-esque front bumper treatment. The rear spoiler looks great along with the rest of the carbon.

What upper grille is that?

Very nice work Marty,I bet it's fun to drive:thumbsup:

Also forgot - nice MMR replicas!

They don't fit for **** on the G8.

A few guys are running them but honestly it just makes it look like the car has blingy dubs on them.

Thank you, The Transformer will be back for sure. If I took it off my daughter would kill me. The upper grille is actually a ZL1 grille and I had a true set of Z28 wheels but they stuck out to far. So the MRR28 wheels are the best option and I just love the look.
