  • First BIG mod?

    Well, I've gotten most of the basic mods out there for the G6, and since my El Camino is just about to roll out of the garage, I am looking ahead to what my first major mod should be on my G6...

    Just because it is on the poll doesn't mean I am seriously thinking about it (I am putting a couple crazy ones on there.) I just want to know what you guys think.


    EDIT: that should be flip TRUNK

    well considering the other options I would opt for the nitrous just for the hell of it. I've been thinking about doing this to mine just for fun-nothing fancy just a small shot for a little extra get up and go when I want it. I know there are some people out there who are gonna opt for the air ride-I'm just not into all that stuff. Good luck with whatever you choose!

            well, I would too... but don't think there is anything availible for the 3900... that's not to say I could modify something that IS out there...

            The only one's on the list that I'm really considering, actually, are the Nitrous and the Underbody...

            I would like to design a custom body kit for it... and have some ideas in mind... but I don't really have that kind of time... most of these things I could do in a long weekend

              I didn't vote cause I didn't like any of those ideas, but if I had to pick one I'd prolly go with nitrous or bags. Blower would be nice, but I have a feeling there will be something available someday. Wishful thinking maybe, but hoping for it.

                I generally am a performance first kind of guy... but I've gotten (or are waiting on) pretty much everything availible...cold air box, exhaust, insulating the rest of the intake tube, strut brace, waiting on H&R springs, etc.

                I've never really done much with exterior appearance before... and kind of wanting something I can take to car shows to contrast my El Camino... Classic Muscle / All go versus Modern street / show (and go :-p)

                ya know?

                  Yeah I hear what you're saying, looks like you've done quite a bit to your car. Sure whatever comes next will be just as good.

                    Wlll if you're into performance, get the nitrous. That's the most reasonable one on there.

                      You can either go fast or you get airbags. I wouldn't go any faster than 110 km/h with airbags. I was going 140km/h on the hwy a few years back and blew an airline, the front of my truck hit the pavement. Wasn't too pretty.

                        I'm usually supportive of any mods, and really am sorry to say this, but I'm not really sure anything on your list is appealing nor sensible in my opinion. So I have to join the others who's vote has been cast for none of the above.

                        That being said, it's your car and I think you should do what you feel, regardless of what the popular reply to your poll tells you. You obviously intend to do something!

                        My own decision to purchase a G6 was influenced in part by the desire to make the car my own through modification, so I completely understand where you are coming from. But sadly there are not a lot of true high performance mods commercially available for the G6. Hopefully there will be more in the not too distant future. But the limited choices of mods for the G6 early on didn't stop the early modders that are members of this site from coming up with their own exhaust systems, air intakes or some of the other very creative and functional mods of other kinds before those were commercially available.

                        I truly wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide to do next, and I applaud your individuality.

                        Have fun, and good luck!

                          Wow, you guys are making it sound so dramatic! Thanks for the input though. Looks like most of the votes are going for nitrous oxide and the neons (which like I said, were the only ones I was seriously considering) so I'll take that as a good sign.

                          I've been against nitrous oxide most of my car loving life... it is kind of fake power I guess... but feel like giving it a shot for some reason (no pun intended)

                              Tough call... The nitrous would be a good idea I guess, but I voted for the flip trunk because that seems pretty unique.

                              I guess if you were willing to add to the list then I'd throw in a custom paint job. Wonder what Foose would do

                              Anyways... The neons and air bags I relate more to like an old 70's caddy or something, and the lambo doors just seem like a big waste of money. I guess a lot of what would work best as far as style points would have a lot to do with the area you're in as well.
