Looks amazing, but I would like to see dual projectors!

With HID's in the low beam projectors there's no need for high beam projectors.


Except for looks, and really, practicality always takes a back door to looks and there is no way someone who is practical is driving a muscle sedan.

Actually I'm very practical , and my headlights are excellent the way they are. I'd rather put the money into headers/cats which cost $1500 and the suspension. But since I have been out of work twice for long periods of time the last few years, I'm still trying to catch up on credit card balances.

I stand corrected, kinda, because you are still going to modify at some point lol

I never really considered putting HIDs in the G8, I guess I been doing the same Don. Saving for bigger and better things.

Marc HID's are cheap and well worth the money. It's one of the best mods for less than $100. But new headlights with dual projectors or a projector retrofit isn't something I want to sink a lot of money into.

I love my projectors! I can't stand seeing my HIDS on the GP anymore, the light seems a lot more concentrated and focused.

Rodman why don't you like projectors? As Anthony said the light goes where it should instead of all over the place. Plus they have a cutoff line so the bright HID's don't blind oncoming drivers.

Maybe you need to adjust the headlights. I never get flashed even with HID's.

Car looks great. The black stripes look really good on the red.

My buddy has a black g8 with the same rims and got some black vinyl inserts for the faces of his spokes on his rims. I bet that would really look good on your car. I'll try to take some pictures of his wheels next time I see him.
