Tinted tails cool. I hate those headlights.

EDIT: One thing I've learned in my years of doing (amateur) auto photography, is people don't like to turn their heads to look at pictures of cars. There is no need to take pictures at such crazy angles. Another thing, it's best to have the wheels straight if you are taking a shot from the front. Otherwise, it just looks weird.

yep im not a fan of those bright ass red tails that come stock lol... whattt? how can you hate these headlights?

ill keep that angles of the pics in mind i never thought about it before until you guys mentioned it so ill def keep the camera straight and focused lol

with Mark, the headlights aren't too too bad but definitely not my style.

On the pictures unless it's a time to be creative, I wouldn't make it harder the person to see your car lol. Like here it's ok because you have a couple other pics and you were just being creative but I wouldn't suggest only putting those side angled pics.

thank you for the input i appreciate it!

Agreed the front tires should be straight or facing the camera. (I perfer the tire/s facing the camera) otherwise great pics.

thank you!!

Not that bad for adapters, and if you really want a nice set of wheels...it's worth the extra cash.

like i said im hoping to have some money saved up to pick a nice set up next spring so will see how it goes!

Just keep your eye out on Craigslist and the like, deals are always popping up. But the 5x110 bolt pattern the G6 has limits your selections a lot, at least from what I'm finding.

They make spacer adapters (with new studs) so you could have a 5x114.3 pattern, which would open the door to 1000000x more wheels to choose from.

the only thing around ohio are the SS wheels for cobalts lol it sucks.. i dont want to wrap up more money for adaptors i have no clue what they even cost

ill keep that in mind. im new with the wheels, never bought wheels for my whip before besides replacing 2 stockers on my gt.. dang pot holes get me every time

I'll look for some wheels, I have my sources.

You like deep dish, anything else? Number of spokes, color, etc...

Here's a few I found...

i like this style a lot if i dont go deep dish it'll be something similar to that..

i like the black finish with the chrome lip, number of spokes doesnt really matter to me im not real picky as long as they looked good

The offset is how far the wheel will poke out from the hub. The lower the number, the more aggressive it'll sit (further out)

I dunno the stock specs on a G6, but using an aggressive offset makes wheels look 100x better than sunk inwards.

do you have something for me to look at? i personally liked the deep dish wheels

Those are really good tires. Once I get new wheels for my Benz, I'm getting those tires as well.

had them on sense i got the car and love them

19"s? I wouldn't...odd size, tires tend to be pricey, even with off brand ones that won't have as good of grip as say, a Continental, General or Michelin tire.

Stick with 18"s, you'll still have a meaty sidewall (245/45 R18 is your best bet upgrading from 225/50 R17 you currently have) better tire selections, and much better wheels to choose from.

Also, take note of the wheel's dimentions. No sense buying a rim heavier than OEM, or not any wider than OEM. And the offset! Fill out that wheel well.

ill keep all that in mind... i know what offset is on a wheel but how does this fill out the wheel well? or is it just looks. i was considering going a little wider wheel that so i could run the 245 tires anyways but not much.

Penelope looks great so far! I like the silver grilles, however I love the honeycomb shape of traditional Pontiac grilles so they're not my most favorite. I do like everything else you've done so far. Keep up the good work, and welcome to Forever Pontiac!

i did like the honeycombs a lot also but i didnt think it'd look right to swap 1 and not the other . i appreciate the compliments!

I can vouch for this. You know how hard/expensive it is to get 14" BFGoodrich Radial T/As? I do...

cant say i do but ill take your word for it

I vote 18s and Continental DWS Extremes.

ive never had anything but the goodyear eagle gt's and i loved them. they did awesome this winter to so i will prolly stick with them

thanks for all the input and info people i appreciate it

Good lookin 6. I'm not a fan of those grilles on the lower but on silver 6ers they look better than others.

You say your engaged, at 20!! Congrats! ...but damn I'm 22 and still can't imagine being married yet

thanks man. i know its either you love them or you hate them lol no really in between. i got a good deal from a fellow modder on g6o. and yea it was shocking for me as well but its going well, and date is set for next august.

Look for wheels secondhand. Also, stick with legit brands.

wheels are on the list of things to do, just not on the budget list right now. next summer should bring good things. going to run some 19's for summer i think

great looking 6!

thanks for referring me, seems to be a little friendlier here so far

BOO!!!

i mean...PUPPY!!

wait...nice! grilles look better with the black surround accent color.

i got him for my girl but hes takin a liking to me sense ive been laid off.. so he ends up in most of the pics cuz hes up my ass 24/7 ha

and thanks, i thouht it looked a lot better this way to sense i blacked out the trim and what not. going to go with the least amount of chrome as possible. i like the chrome lips on the black rims so that'd will prolly be the only chrome on the car when im finished

bah another debadge and painted arrowheads, does not compute. Anyways, looks great! Love the color of the engine cover and batt cover. I would have personally painted it Pontiac blue. Looks too Chevy.

New rims are definitely a must, get chrome, it will go with the silver of the car and chrome grills.

Welcome to the site!

i just went with red sense its what the theme of the car has been. with the cluster gage inside being red and what not. didnt want a bunch of colors all over the car

i got a text from a good friend while fishing this weekend that he's got a good connection that owes him so LED's for some work he did for his buddy. he told me if i wanted some leds for under the dash and seats he'd be able to get them for free, so hopefully this weekend ill have some interior leds!

looks great.

thank you!

Not bad. Welcome to the site!

Needs more low, debadge and wheels.

Oh, if you want an exhaust, I'll hook you up.

eibach springs are in the making soon. it is debadged, and wheels will be on her next summer

Welcome.

Nice G6 you have there. Are you planning to install any subs? I have a fiberglass box that a good friend of mine made for my old G6 and it's all carpeted and everything. It's built for 2 10s.

thank you! and i prolly wont mess with subs not big on audio honestly but thanks for the offer

Looks pretty good! Rims gotta be next for your appearance, that would really set your car apart from the rest. Love the dechroming cause i hate it lol

yea definitely! just not in the budget right now lol but will be taken care of soon i hope.
