The Guz Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Sounds awesome. I agree I need to get me G8 GXP. I like what you did with the engine bay. Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blcksilv08 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 IMO just about any LS with a cam in it can sound pretty healthy. What is the exhaust setup on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 The exhaust is Kook LTS, no cats into Corsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace22 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Love the car. I had my GXP for about 2 years before selling. I had Livernois put a blower on, headers, tune, cam, and full exhaust. Love the rumble of yours! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the car because there are not many around! Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Sounds VERY good!! Nice work on those valve covers also! Did you do any sanding on them, or just paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Sounds VERY good!! Nice work on those valve covers also! Did you do any sanding on them, or just paint? THANKS! The PO had painted them some ugly burgundy color so I removed, put a key in the paint with some scotch-brite and then topped with caliper paint. It's rated at 550º and it's shiny, so I thought why not? It came out better than I thought it would actually. I'm trying to make it more of a show car than anything. It'll never be perfect, but it's not new either. Chris Team Adam's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I worked several hours today on correcting my paint. It's surprisingly better than I'd have thought. You've gotta love the orange MF pad and correcting polish. Man that's a cutting combo! I find the silver VERY difficult to see the flaws which I guess is good in the long run. lol No pics yet sorry! I've only done the top surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blcksilv08 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Its better to not see flaws easily. Anything is better than black in that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stenguyen1 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 what did you use to black out the chrome trim around the windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garsnow Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Looks really good. Ive been entertaining the idea of a gxp as of late. I can't remember the time a GM car held its value so much, and it upsets me as a buyer! I have my heart set on a cts v, but i can save myself about $15k on a gxp. What's next on the To-Do list?

THANKS! I need to get the new SuperPro front control and radius rods and caster plates on, I have some billet for under the hood that I need to get sprayed black before installing, the interior needs conditioned, and I bought some silver G2 caliper paint for the rear calipers. I need to paint them and paint the rotor hats black. Then I think it's show time. I'm sure I'll find more to do, but I need to drive it. what did you use to black out the chrome trim around the windows? That's OEM trim from Australia. It's used on the base VE's.

Stenguyen1 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 damn you actually spent the money on those trims? i can't see myself paying that much for them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 damn you actually spent the money on those trims? i can't see myself paying that much for them lol I brought in 4 of them. 3 went to other people and I bought a set. 400 bucks for stock trim is better than spraying it with dip or trying to lay vinyl on it IMO.
