The rear boot area of the Pontiac G8 is home to the Kicker audio system car audio. We fabricated a custom enclosure with a plexiglass window and painted the inside of the box with PPG green/gold flake paint to match the 2 Kicker 12" subwoofers. Off to one side using 1/2" steel square tubing, we fabricated a metal amp rack for the 2 Kicker amplifiers.
To add additional lighting and to make it look cool, we added green LED's to highlight the system.
To keep the young ones at bay, we modified the factory headrests of the Pontiac G8 and added 7" LCD monitors wired up to a Sirius Backseat Satellite TV system.
The factory head unit was retained for CD/AM/FM using a Rockford Fosgate 360.2 processor. Sirius satellite radio was also added. Note the storage area above the radio before navigation modification took place.
We added a Garmin Nuvi Navigation system in the storage pocket area that was above the radio.
The controller for the Sirius Backseat TV system is mounted below the climate controls.
To complement the lowered stance, we fabricated a one-off carbon fiber front lip spoiler for the audio system car audio. After many months of requests, we finally made a mold of the spoiler so you can have one for your Pontiac G8, too.
Carbon fiber front lip spoiler with our Sound Xpression logo in PPG green under the clear coat finish.
For additional visual appeal, we fabbed up a rear rooftop spoiler using fiberglass and painted it to match.
Instead of having three Sirius antenna on the roof, we made locations within the roof top spoiler by laminating steel plates for the antenna to mount to and made provisions for concealed wiring
For more uniqueness, the headlight was outfitted with a 6000K HID kit. The light was also disassembled, and LED Halo rings were added along with an LED strip light below to give the Pontiac G8 audio system car audio the "Audi look.”
Concept 1 Pontiac G8
2008 Pontiac G8 dialed in for the SEMA auto show.
This basic black sedan got a complete makeover starting out with PPG green/gold flake paint on the upper half, a wheel/tire package, a lowered stance, a MagnaFlow Exhaust system, and a supercharger to kick up the horsepower. We then got to do our magic, adding a Kicker sound system, Garmin navigation system, some headlight modifications, and a really cool carbon fiber front lip spoiler and rear rooftop spoiler.
