Got it for Christmas. Took about 30 minutes to do. Of course the whole thing about "gently" pulling on the stock diffuser until you hear it start to release, I smelled BS because that sonuvagun did NOT want to come off.

I love the improvement already. Tips are needed though ;)

Tell me about it, I broke a few tabs off my stock one. Poor design, But the look is nice.. I had mine painted to match.

Yeah I broke two tabs off the stock diffuser, but I was a little torqued off because I kept pinching my fingers between the exhaust and the diffuser and I didn't plan on keeping the stock one.

I gave the stock one to Todd, I think he painted it for someone.

The blue is stunning in person, I absolutely love it. I saw Dave's GXP when I bought his Sedan, and it was just sexy.

I definitely want to get Kook's on it. Haven't decided on exhaust yet, I kind of like how quiet it is... But I'm definitely pursuing tips, almost snagged some SLP ones, but a local G8 member got it instead, grr... Thus far I've got the CAI, Diffuser, and Tails.

Thanks, Rick and Anthony!!

Painting wasn't something I even fathomed to consider to be honest. I really like how the black breaks it up and gives some contrast :)

I think the diffuser looks great as is. The whole black and blue theme is pulled off by the G8 very well. Gives contrast and balance, along with definition. Way to go, Kendra - lookin' good! Can't wait to see the tails when they are installed!

^ Good deal ;)

I'm excited to get the rest of the exterior mods on it. I wanted to get a lower lip on the front, but, uh... Considering it may be assuming a place in the garage and our roads around here, it'd be a waste of cash since the back roads/inclines in driveways would probably rip it off.
