It just looked unbalanced to me. Been wanting to do it since I got the car.

If you saw the car in person, without the middle badge, it would look REALLY weird and naked.

The writing just made the car look seriously unbalanced, IMO.

Currently, looking for a good G6 intake (no intakes are made for the Aura yet, but supposedly the G6 3.5l intakes fit), and the Malibu SS strut brace fits too.

Other than that, I was kind of thinking of getting an HPTune from...I forget. One of our vendors.

The only issue is that my 1:1 gear is 5th, and we'd hit my speed limiter before we even get halfway through my RPM's. (Speed limiter is at 115, which is hit in 3rd at WOT. WOT shifting is 7k rpm.)

Supposedly there's some 3.6l FWD headers being made, but I can't be certain on that. All I know is that the intake is CARB exempt and does not void the warranty, which is important to me right now, but I really would LOVE to bring this engine sound out. It's got a VERY nice growl.

Auto. They didn't make them in stick. Makes me cry.

The 6spd auto is friggin sick though.

What?

It's a 6spd auto only. This model just has a sport suspension, 18's, and more chrome...as well as full leather and every option you can get (which strangely enough, did NOT include Nav. LAME!)

[Nick Merrone]

like the push the shifter to one side and you can shift up and down?

It's got paddle shift mode. Throw it one more notch down and I can use the paddles on the steering wheel. Not the same.



There's a full on view of the rear from before. I think it would look REALLY naked without the badge, but if someone wants to try and photoshop it out and see how it would look, be my guest.

[Nick Merrone]

lemme do it real quick..

[Nick Merrone]

wait nevermind..photoshop is fubared on my laptop..

[99SL2_Modder]

The little GM badges on either side that I'm thinking of taking off too.

****ers look like they finished the car and were like, "Oh, wait. +5hp, lulz" *stick*

[Nick Merrone]

HAHAHAHAH. id go upstairs and do it, but i got these damn kids calling me...

[Fujito]

Too much damn chrome to paint.

And it's not easy to match this color.
