Holden Commodore conversion for your Pontiac G8

Autoblog....

General Motors has been the perpetrator of several fortunate and unfortunate badge engineering jobs over the years, and the G8 -- based off the Holden Commodore -- is the most recent example. The Aussie sedan was partially developed with American sales in mind and because of that, it doesn't take much to give your spiffy new G8 a nose job inspired by the Land Down Under. Australian firm JHP Vehicle Enhancements will sell you an entire body kit to change your G8 into a Holden for a mere, um, $4,000 if you choose to go all out in an attempt to replicate the HSV model. That's a sizable chunk of change, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Since we're less concerned with appearances, we'd just put the extra scratch towards upgrading to the GXP.

Why stop there? Why not build the HSV Monster?

CTS-V is shit compared to a streetable V8 Supercar

Called the HSV W427, it is powered by the Z06 powerplant and is the fastest car for sale in Australia.

We'll i'll tell you this JITB. If i had a G8, 1 month won't go buy after purchase before it is labeled and kitted up as a Holden. And unlike the Civic conversion, all G8's are born in the land of Oz. This thread is just to remind everyone on here that Holden waves the GM flag better than any other company.

I mean really...When Bathurst is where your DNA is formed, its a winner.

i agree.. when i use to browse the holden forums.. i would see alot of rebadged Monaros, as GTO's.

BUT.. i must say..

The Falcon, and Xr6 have been lookin pretty delicious lately... :yes:

I did see some Pontiac names. No offense to anyone, i actually like all brands and i know Pontiac has great history but i felt not enough people appreciate Holden.

I've always had a thing for Pontiacs, and now with them rebadging Holden models...I couldn't like them more.

[atlxpat]

Uhh...we did have the GTO here for a short time.

Do you mean the actual brand and car? I like how those look better over the GTO, but I still LOVE the GTO.

[Evil Goat]

im sure ill be the only one to say this but i like the original better....the conversion looks good, but id rather leave it the way it is

i hate the 05-06 gto hoods, but that style hood fits perfect on the g8

[Sport1.3]

i actually like the USDM styling better

[AirMax95]

Nice cars, here and there, lol. The G8 looks mean!

[Atlblkz06]

GTOs are nice but they really really need to go on a diet. If the car can lose 1200lb and gain 150HP - it'd be a ton (more) of fun.

Well no shit. You say it like it isn't obvious. Also that would be a completely redesigned car. How about something easier to request? Like lose 300 pounds and every thing else stay the same. Even that would be super hard.
