texn884 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I thought so but was not sure, I would say get rid of your G8 GXP would be nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP 08 GXP Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 thanks everyone...yeah white wasnt my favorite color but since it is the wifes DD it will be nice to be able to hide the dirt a little....we were hoping to get the red jewel but couldnt find one in our price range so we went with the white....i was very happy with declining the option for dealer installed swirls because the paint isnt in too bad of shape...it needs clayed since it has some rail dust on it...i was able to get it washed and a coat of wax thrown on it tonight...this weekend ill be striping it down, claying, polishing, and sealing...plans for the car will be to tint the front 2 windows and get a mesh grill on the front....ive been looking into putting the LTZ projectors but havent seen a for sure answer on whether they will fit or not...also want to get the OEM fogs but from what ive read there is a lot of wiring that would need to be done to get it to work so we will see....on with the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I love the new equinox, best in its segment and its a Chevy, enough said I wouldn't disagree with the first part! Although Ford is coming out with a new Escape that so far, looks pretty awesome. I'm a car guy. Brand doesn't play a huge roll for me. When I like something, I buy it. I don't like to limit myself.
