first of all, a BIG Thank you to Crazy Paul.

I now have another part in my GTS conversion, The GTS Spoiler! (along with my steering wheel, dash/consol and rear badge)

here are a few bad weather pics.

you have the GTS spoiler, or the SS spoiler?
I would like to do the whole conversion, but I'm sure by the time I could afford it all, it would all be very rare even in Aus... :S

the holes are not yet welded, I currently have them covered black vinyl untill I can get them welded up.

and thank you :)

Up close it looks too big, but when you look at it from further away it looks great. It definitely gives the back some more definition. Looks good!

I guess mine is the SS spoiler, didn't know the GTS was different. SS VS i think, the taller of the two. I just got the GTS fenders and have the lookalike bumper from KLRG8 ordered, thats as close as i'm going to get to the real thing.

The Conversion for the front alone costed me about $7600. The spoiler was not cheap either as i also had my holes welded and trunk painted. I forgot how much that was. Next project is going to be my Cam and converter. Then supercharger and rear conversion

+1 All you need are some wheels! Even the GT 19's would help a ton!

tell me about it! I'd love the GT 19's, but what I'd really like are a set of CTS-V stagered 19's!

Peter, is your lid still vinyl'd or did you get it welded? I like the spoiler but the cost of the lid repair scares me...can you give us an idea on pricing?

Looks awesome although I was scared as soon as the grinder came out. I think I'll wait until I have the money to pay a professional like you to take care of it for me!

Hey peterg22000, what is the really size of your GTS badge compared to the stock GT badge?

Been looking at getting the yellow GTS & yellow HSV flag on the trunk. I still have all the original badges on the car + dealership badges (somehow my wife doesn't want that stuff removed including the side chicks) but wondered if it would too much out of place with the stock G8 badge. My plan was to remove the left GT badge and dealer sticker below it then cut the S off the GTS badge (wondering if they were seperate letters or all combined?) and apply somewhere close to the mirror side of stock HSV GTS badges.

Planning on adding V2 yellow brembos on a SBM (similar look to this SBM GTS), so what do you think about adding yellow GTS badges also?

its all personal prefrence, only thing I can say here is that the letters in the GTS badge are all separate so you wouldn't have to cut anything.
