2009 Pontiac G5 Pictures

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

I don't have any build log so I don't have too many pictures. I failed to take pictures of any of the deadening that I did, but I used quite a good bit of deadener.

Hopefully Ill find time to take better pictures, especially of the car itself. I really like the car so far. It gets great gas mileage, rides smooth, and looks pretty nice. Only things I am thinking about is lowering it a bit and getting actual black rims. As of now, I have debadged, tinted, audio in sig, and painted my hub caps. I may decide to find new head lights, and tint the tails, but I kind of like the red of the lights with the red color of my car.

Over Christmas break, I plan on cleaning up the trunk. Other than that, I may get under my rear deck and quiet the rear deck's cover from rattling. I have also noticed my dome light rattling as well as my passenger plastic door panel. I will hopefully fix all those in December.

As far as overall sound, I love the components of my setup. I need a bigger ported box to get a bit more output out of the idmax since its getting under 300rms. The tweeters may need to be moved up on the A-pillar to raise my stage a little bit. I wouldnt mind sending more power to my mids and sub, but I'm pretty happy with the sound and don't think I need to make it louder just because it only does damage after what I have.

There is an overall flat frequency response with this box/amp/sub. With under 300rms going to the max in one of the smallest recommended enclosures, its not to heart rattling. I am not really into loud bass. I prefer a loud front stage with the sub as an accent to the bass. I am happy with the blend that I get and like I said the response is good enough that the lower 30hz tones have a very similar output to the 60hzs range. I just threw that box together before I came to school and havent had the time to get back and build a better trunk. I plan on doing ~2.5cuft @ 28hz or so and will most likely build it so that it is walled off from the trunk and sealed firing into the cabin.

I'm not a big fan on the large gap between the hood and the front bumper

I would prefer to find some cheap real black rims

Thinking about throwing a light tint on the tails to help them match the paint a bit better

Thinking taking away some of the wheel gap would make it look slick.

Doors look pretty factory. You can see my questionable tweet location. (Think it needs to be a bit higher)

Trying to show that the tweet kind of points directly to my cluster hump.... needs to be moved along with the other one, right?

Good lookin old skool HU...gotta love em.

what's up with those tiny *** wheels/tires?

how it came and I dont have money to get bigger wheels/tires. I put a little caption under one of the pics saying I would like to get actual alloys or w/e materials black rims. I think all black with a red accent, somewhat deep lip would look slick. I would probably only do 18"s at the max.

Why did you hate it?

That GTO is BA. It is indeed a true pontiac... not some chevy knockoff.

Once you set the wheels off, it will look nice. Nice equipment though!

The door infront of the handle is a good spot to mount tweeters, nothing but foam and plastic there, get a hole saw and go to town. Clean cobalt you have there, some 17-18s would make it look alot better though.

Did you de-badge it?
