Hey guys,

Picked up my '09 BO G37S 6MT about a month ago, and have been watching the forums for a while taking in whatever I can. In all honesty, I've probably been reading this forum off an on for 2-3 years, just buying time until I could buy the car.
Coming from a Pontiac Grand Am, the G is a huge upgrade. I don't have a single complaint. Anyway- here is a quick picture.

Haven't taken too many great pics, but the blue painter's tape is probably my favorite. First mod to the car- full detail (big thanks to Detailed Image.)

 

Welcome and congrats on the new car! A fresh detail is always nice btw did you paint your grill yourself or did the last owner?

 

haPPY MODDING!

 

nice stuff, good luck with the modding!

 

Thanks everyone. I've done some minor mods so far, but I think my first major one here pretty soon will be Gen3 intakes.

_ant_, I bought a used and dinged up grille off eBay for pretty cheap, and sanded and painted it myself with Dupli-Color filler-primer, gloss black and clearcoat- looks all right, but I may have it professionally done at some point. Still have the stock grill in great condition as well.

 

PPPFFFFF, your first major one was that sweet mute button/wire job I fabbed up for you. So ungrateful...

 

Congrats on the purchase, welcome to the family!!! Happy modding.

 

hey men, welcome to the G community. I did the same thing you did too. I registered on this forum 3 years ago knowing that I will own one oneday. Funny I never mosted anything for 3years just soaking up as much knowledge as possible. Finally pulled the trigger and couldnt be any happier. My fav, mod on the ride is detailing too, ha ha, at least for now.

By the way, I used to live on kansas city and frequented Overland park. Now am in seattle.

 

Some pictures of the MINOR mod that CDONNS may have helped with:



Radar detector is an Escort Passport 9500ix. Hardwired into the same fuse as the nav unit, with a mute button mounted next to the trunk release. I'm no electrical engineer, so I will give some thanks to CDONNS for helping me with the wiring.

Thanks bembowe, I've only been here a month- was in St. Louis most of my life. I'm enjoying it so far. And as far as the car goes, nothing better than finally making the big purchase after all that anticipation.

 

Welcomeee!

 

I'm going to be coming from a 2007 Grand Prix GT. It's about the same car you're coming from and I want to know if you care too much about the lag in the accelerator between the FWD and RWD? I test drove one and didn't really like the feel... What was your transition like?

 

Its hard for me to judge lag from the RWD/FWD switch. Going from an auto to a 6MT was a bigger difference. I felt a lot more lag from the auto Pontiac transmission than the 6MT.

 

black on black...LOVE ITTTTTTTTT

 

congrats man! tigerblood FTW haha
