Re: GMManof3's 2008 G6 GT...
Love all the pics, and what you done to your ride so far. Looks great!
Had a question for you if you didn't mind. Regarding the lighting you have around your front upper grills, would you be able to post pics of that, and show how you wired them up? Recently I've been tossing around the idea about possibly adding simple white LED lights around the edge of the upper grills, but obviously on the backside of them. That way, when driving around at night, the grills would be lit up as well as the headlights for a nice effect. And if I could have them wired up to come on automatically with my normal headlights, or with the fog lights, either one would work.
I'm a former resident of Missouri myself (Butler, Maryville, KC). Thanks for your service as well!-- Whatever doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger. --

Awesome, sounds good! When I actually get the materials and get ready do it all, I'll give you a shout on here if that's okay. (My wife and I are expecting our first at the end of the next month, so things are a bit hectic now if you can imagine. ) Thanks again for the help/advice!-- Whatever doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger. --

Re: GMManof3's 2008 G6 GT...
So you run yours through the firewall? I was hoping that there would be a way to connect them to the wires for the headlights, so that they would come on when the headlights would come on. Is that possible? I'm not really interested in drilling through the firewall if I have to.-- Whatever doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger. --

Re: GMManof3's 2008 G6 GT...
welcome! A little reminder, if your state requires your side markers on your headlights to be working, then just splice the wires together. If not, well, then, I would say just cut them off and just connect your lights to this one side marker's wires. Welcome again!! Im am glad to help

***New update***
Since I am an Air Force Hydraulic mechanic, I have the lucky privelage of scoring parts that are being thrown away, and has other potential to use it for other things. So I scored me some ptfe high pressure steel braided hoses. I'm going to get me some hardware fittings to make into brake lines for the g6. I'm looking into the Russel brand of fittings.
Here is what they look like. If all goes well, I might have some left over.

Just got another email from North America vogtland branch. They are having me fill out paperwork for me to satisfy my obligations to being their Research and Development Vehicle. I'm stoked and that means they will be putting in the order for the springs to be sent to me. I'm so happy we still get aftermarket support.
This is the obligation
