Hampton Roads G8x's
If you're in the Hampton Roads area, post up. I've only ran across a couple of them, but I know more are hitting the roads.
I'm located in Southern Chesapeake. |

And I'm assuming you mean Competition, not CS? Looks like the CS is still a few months out from release? My G80 Comp is Frozen White with 963M wheels and M Perf exhaust. I frequent VB quite a bit as I work at little creek. See ya around! |

I do have one question. What are you guys in VA doing with regards to the front license plate? I was in PA and now in WV and never had to apply the front plate.

You "could" get away with no plate. But I was tired of worrying about it, and getting the occasional gate guard (I'm Navy) that would like to call me out... I went with the Rho plate mount. They are out of Canada. Very good quality and the plate is rock solid. If you go into my "garage" on this site, I have pictures of it on my G80. |

I intend on telling my dealer not to place the front plate mount on my car. If I get pulled over too much I'll place it somewhere. Maybe on the corner front on tow hook

Out of curiosity, how do you guys enjoy driving G8x in VA with strict traffic laws. I know it's illegal in VA, but do you guys use radar detectors?

Well, I live out in the country in Chesapeake, so it's well out of the congested parts. Really good roads out this way.

Good stuff, congrats! If you're ever down to meet up, let me know. Still not too many G8x cars in the area.

I am still in my break in period but I will tell you that even at lower speeds and RPMs this car is awesome to drive. No radar detector however the Waze app helps with cop warnings |

I ordered my G80 in June and after getting jerked around, I went to to Southside store and got a allocation immediately and car was delivered in December.

Steve has been there for a while and I've bought multiple cars from them. The GM and sale rep took our friendship and the money I spent there for granted so I took my business across the river with my deposit. They wouldn't return my calls and give me a production number. Southside gave me one and followed up with me during the process.
