Always wanted one, finally got it - 2008 GXP
« on: April 10, 2018, 09:38:45 PM »
Hi, I am very new to Kappas, but always liked them a lot. So, about 3 weeks ago I bought a 2008 Solstice GXP, 76,000 miles, GMPP tune.

When I saw that name I thought of you, Mr land of Dracula.

PS it's not grey it's silver and it looks to be cleaner than Critters car. :poke:

Welcome, search the forum on how to properly lift the Kappa platform, and don't push down on the humps to close the boot.
