Default New look for CTSV

So the last few months I did some mods on my g8 so I decided to upgrade the ctsv a little also. For the interior I installed new ctsv pedals, double din touch screen, c6 shifter knob, and lloyds floor mats. For the exterior I had my wheels powder coated gloss black with new tires, black lugnuts, some minor paint work and the car buffed. It looks almost like a new car again, I am really happy with how well the paint looks now. I wanted chrome wheels but 2 had some curb rash from previous owner and they wouldn't except them as cores so I decided just to go all black instead. I am happy with the ctsv now, only thing I have left is to get a system just like the g8 has installed.

Its stock height but I think the aftermarket front bumper is lower than an oem bumper is my best guess.

I'm just curious as to why you have both a G8 and CTSV other than because can.

I liked G8's since they came and I got a smoking deal on mine new is main reason why I have a G8. I just started looking at buying another G8 and the ctsv came up for sell. I always wanted a ctsv so I figured instead of having 2 G8's I bought the ctsv. For the same money as another G8 would have cost me I have a modded ctsv with a ls3.

Yeah for sure, it sucks having inspection sticker and registration stickers on the windshield. I think they did that just so it would discourage you not to tint it lol.

This is usually our response at work to things that make zero sense. We however shortened it to BFYTW (because fuck you that's why). More often then not, the reason is still forgotten.
