    hey man look fucking awesome and I love the brakes too, any problems with getting those on there? Also a big question have you found any good seat mod? I hate the factory G8 seats and my driver side panel has always broken, from car wash guys kneeling on edge of seat cleaning interior, it's a horrible design for that! Awesome car man

    In keeping with the Walkinshaw Performance coil cover theme, I've added some Walkinshaw bits. I've added Walkinshaw emblems and bits in the locations that Walkinshaw would have used had they installed one of their Walkinshaw Performance Packs to my tribute to a 2010 HSV Clusport GXP.

    His would have been repainted with the conversion, so probably not cheap think paint anymore.
    I replaced my front bumper, and it has held up much better than original.

    The bumper was painted to match the car. The fenders are the original HSV paint, I got lucky and found 2 great-condition HSV fenders in OZ in my color. Matched perfectly. I touch up stone chips and do paint correcting and swirl removal 2-3 times a year. The car has not been repainted.
