i like the rims, but imo gm should have changed it a little more instead of keeping the same design, just shows how creative they can be(not saying i dont like the way it looks lol)

Seats look good, but would look nicer with leather/suede combo instead of the weird black fabric. Brembos look sweet. Rims will look even better when lowered. Otherwise, very nice subtle changes bringing the turbo in. Overall, looks good.

Yes! Some good shots! Seats are sweet but will look better all black. Massive front mount too.

You and me both , lol . There oughta be a few of these wadded up the first year .....and the seats too . I love the way my Recaro's feel , but the cheap leather is not aging gracefully . The new non-Recaro's look every bit as supportive as the old ones . Alcantara ftw

Not sure if its production or not , I blew the pics up in PS . The tires on the car are Continnental Sport contact 2's . Another mid pak tire , some F1 GS D3's would have been splendid

Is it just me, or is the motor oriented the same way as ours? Isn't the LNF supposed to be RWD? Or is the '08 not getting RWD as an update? I'm confused...

Its like that to fit for FWD, just like the HHR SS. Yes I wish it were facing the other way but its better than nothing.

Were really lucky we even got this though . They put alot of damn money into what it is for a car that will only be on sale for 1.5 years . The mid cycle refresh was cancelled for 2008 because we get a all new car in 2010 on the new chassis .

no its not coming out in RWD. everyone says they would have to completely redesign the chassis for that to happen

Suppose so, but seems like if they wanted to just move the firewall and squish our feet a little, it'd work. Besides, I'm used to a motor thats halfway in the dash. 4th gen f-bodies....
