We've mentioned before that the G8 is a great-looking performance car from the moment it rolls off the showroom floor. It was specifically designed to appeal to people who wanted the aggressive, edgy look of a sports car while maintaining a hint of a sedan. It's a unique blend of styles that caters to multiple audiences. In fact, a lot of folks are perfectly content with the G8's style without doing any upgrades. But, once you own your G8, there's a lot you can do to add more flavor to its image. Here are a few examples that other owners are doing to their cars...

Putting a black stainless mesh grill on the front gives the G8 a mildly menacing look. It works especially well with the standard Liquid Red and Panther Black exterior paint. You can replace the painted handles with a chrome alternative. It will probably cost a few hundred dollars, but the effect can be dramatic. If you really want a unique look for the interior, consider replacing the stock gauges for custom black gauges with deep red needles. They look smooth and blend in perfectly into a black console.

The look of your G8 is completely up to you. Custom floor maps, getting rid of the spoiler, putting on a bra, tinting the tail lights and putting a Holden style wing on the back are all small details that don't take much time (or money) but can add a lot of panache to your G8. For us, it's part of the appeal of owning a G8. We get the opportunity to drive a budget-conscious performance car and the flexibility of modifying the aesthetics to whatever suits us. Remember, when it comes to upgrading your G8's look, you're limited only by your imagination.
