Welcome to Choppin' Competition #37!

Well, its here - the long-awaited rear-wheel drive Pontiac concept that is uncannily similar to what we'll be given to purchase in the coming year. Many have fallen head over heals for the clean, crisp, and modern lines of the G8 while other wish it had more character, more charm, and more Pontiac styling. Wherever your opinion falls, we can all agree we're in store for a real high-quality performance sedan that just may recapture some much-needed audience for Pontiac. For those in the latter camp, however, here's your chance.

Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to modify the existing Pontiac G8 show car in any way you desire. Yes, that means anything goes from the smallest taillamp or headlamp modifications to a completely new fascia to different bodystyles like a coupe, convertible, or wagon. Maybe you want to see the G8 as a patrol car or GT touring race car - everything goes!

Please use only the Pontiac G8 as the base pic for your entry.

Hmm...minor stuff, bumper swap, flashy color. She's pretty good looking to begin with.

NOS, you always do great work. That coupe looks sweet. Any way you could do a small color pallate for the original pic like you did for the Camaro? Trying to decide what color I am going to want mine to be.

Thanks

Why thank you, Mr. Blackwell.

I'll probably be able to do the G8 color pallet tonight sometime; it should be a quick ten, fifteen minute job. Would you like me to do the pallet on the regular G8 GT show car or my concept? Probably the show car since that's the one you'll be able to buy, right?

You're welcome.

The G8 design is clean and neat enough for the most parts. I'll simply:-

(1) Eliminate the phony, ricey and ugly hood intakes.

(2) Add a pair of functional brake cooling duct intakes.

(3) Eliminate the uncomplimentary spoiler.

(4) Remove the side marker/blinkers from the bumper.

(5) Add mirror mounted marker/blinkers.

(6) Add a full underbody tray feeding into a functional rear diffuser (Not shown)
