Paul,

I've tried to replicate the look of the 2009 Holden Commodore SSV Special Edition (Pontiac front fascia) on my '08 G8 GT with special badging on the exterior, and I've also had custom interior work done to highlight the SSV. Question--I have the stock rear lip on my '08 G8 GT. Did the 2009 Holden Commodore SSV Special Edition have the same lip, or was it actually a rear wing. If wing, can you show a picture of it, and where I might buy one? Thanks!

The Special Edition had the same rear lip as G8.

Does look nice in green. Still don't like the SS on the back doors. Looks stupid.

I concur.

Thanks, CP. My G8 GT looks almost exactly like that, at least the exterior. I have had a lot of custom interior work done, which is more a homage to the SSV Special Edition.

I wonder if anyone has converted to the Holden antenna. It looks like the base is different, but I believe it's the base that has the OnStar antenna, which an Australian-spec car wouldn't have.

I put in an after market head unit and satellite radio tuner. The antenna for that is located at the top right area of my dashboard, just below the windshield. I'm constantly getting signal drop and am wondering if I should relocate that outside the vehicle?

Got 8?

IIRC that Holden antenna whipped around pretty violently on the W427 at close to 250kph so no high speed runs...LOL !!!

Yeah, I remember it freaking out the guys on Top Gear Australia.
