Hello all forum members. I decided to join today after reading through some interesting threads. I bought my 08 Solstice GXP last November. After doing some research and reading all the great review on these cars, I decided I had to have one. I found mine brand new on eBay from a dealer in Williston ND. I have since added Dejon intercooler and piping, Dejon CAI, Magnaflow exhaust and Superchips Cortex. What a great car! I would like to get some trunk closeout billet covers and billet engine bay covers from MRZ. Are they are still offering member discounts?

Looking forward to learning more on this forum!

Welcome to Kappa Performance kboludo.  The MRZ billet engine bay covers in red would look great with the Dejon intercooler and piping!  They really dress up the engine bay and you will love the look!  I have the red MRZ billet engine bay covers and they look awesome with our Aggressive (Red) 2007 GXP.

Welcome to the forum.
It will be a good idea to try to see what sort of RWHP you are getting with the Supperchips.
Also how your AFR looks etc...

Thanks all for the warm welcome! :thumbs: Romania and Greece, quite the international site. Love those GT's. My first performance mod was the Superchips. I actually already owned one that I used for my H2 (GM). Definitely a noticeable performance difference! Liked it so much I bought a replacement Superchips for the H2. Well worth the $.  Shop around for the best price. Autoanything was the cheapest I found with their regular 10-15% sales.

Forgot to mention in post #4 if you have not added them, I would for sure have the DDMWorks Race Backbone and Probeam added to your 2008 GXP.  DDMWorks installed ours at the Denver National Meet and they add unbelievable handling and suspension upgrades to the Kappa's.  GM should have had these as standard equipment when the Roadster was brought to market.

Just ask anyone who has put them on, they do make a difference!  I would seriously counsel you to get in touch with DDMWorks.

On the MRZ Red Billet Engine Bay Covers, I don't know if they still offer the discount?  Have fun modding!

Welcome aboard.  If your car still has warranty remaining you can't go wrong with the GMPP tune for some extra zip.  If out of warranty and you want more zip try an after market tune.  Best bang for the performance buck.
