No more arrowheads. Tnx. Crazy Paul.

[R.Penguin]

Just a few pics with the Pontiac badges gone and all New Holden badges, thanks to Crazy Paul in Perth.

Please note. This post is informational only. It is NOT intended to elicit opinions, criticisms, wild acclaim, etc. Smart-ass replies are, as always, welcome as I am a wise-ass myself.

Additional disclaimer: I like my GT and how it looks, sounds, etc. If you feel the need to post critical essays, epistles, etc. Have at it. If you feel strongly that you would do something differently, and wish to express those feelings, go do it to your OWN G8 GT & be advised that I give not the slightest sh*t about how you feel. Go to Wal Mart and express your feelings there to an upscale crowd that does give a sh*t. Thank you & have a nice day :nah: :p

Front arrow head gone too?

I had to put the Colgan bra on the front Wreck. The rock chips were getting bad. The bra covers the front arrow.

Man...

I was so hoping that you/he had come up with a Holden lion for the front.


:(

Looks good, people will wonder WTF just blew by.

I beleive he's working on it. The problem is the angle & the mounts. Having to go from a fairly thin arrowhead to a round badge in that area is a bitch. So far everything I've gotten from CP is in the original Holden factory packaging.
Crazy Paul is one persistent mofo though. If it can be done, he will find a way. :p

[screw991le]

I like the wheel's caps. :headbang:

[MABG8er]

Looks nice. Someone just needs to make a replica Commodore front bumper that fits the G8 hood. :)

But yeah, you need to take off the G8 GT badges =p People will just wonder wtf kinda pontiac badges those are :)

[phpd7102]

Guess I dont get it, your car is a pontiac...so why put poser badges on like its something else?
Seems a bit rice.

[jmorgan]

can you post a picture of the bra?

Because it is less a Pontiac, more a Holden.
Still don't get it? Try the search button.
Looks good Pengy, I am definately considering the lion/V/6.0 kit...soon (after the wifey forgets about the last mods)

So in that line of thought pull the badges off of your lexus and throw toyota badges on it?

To each his own I guess. :thumbsup:

Some people bought the G8 because it's a Pontiac.

Some of us bought it because it's a cool, powerful car.

Some of us prefer the Holden look. I intend on buying a Holden nose for mine,

A Lexus is NOT a rebadged Toyota. They may have the same parent company, but are not the same car. A G8 IS a rebadged Holden Commodore, just as a GTO IS a rebadged Monaro...:nah:.
Yes, to each his own.

Yeah, get all you can at once with Crazy Pauls "deals", it saves on shipping. Combine with another member if you can.

I forgot the v badge, but CP is sending it for $15 anyway. He's crazy, but he's good people. :p

[TheTugBoat]

yeah its different then the lexus-toyota thing...i'm sure there's a couple models that cross (4runner and LX i think is one in the same) but a G8 GT is a holden VE SS with a different front bumper and hood and pontiac badges.

[TheTugBoat]

this thread is worthless without a sound clip...

[It's A G8!]

This is not for me. Glad you like.

I'm waiting on the 7th and 8th exhaust outlet pics :-)

Actually the 300 is a Camry, same frame same drivetrain.

I like the Holden front end way better.

Mounting them on the sides....be patient!

The Camry is NOT the IS300. The Camry shares most of the platform w/ the Lexus ES series. The Camry is FWD and the IS are (mostly) RWD...not really the same at all. The IS models share the platform that the Toyota Supra ran on.
