I almost bought a G8 GXP, but ended up holding off. That being said, this isn't my first blue Holden with a stick

i also have a 04 and 06 IBM gto , any one have any side by side pics of the slipstream and ibm next to each other ?

My dealership helped line up the outside shops to do the work. I might have paid a little extra but I got it all done before I picked it up.

Wheels powder coated too. Local shop through dealership. They are a dark metallic graphite. Super cool! Glitter in full sun look almost black at night..

Super happy on the appearance, thank you.

any better pictures of the wheels ?

Ended up not powdercoating them clear, took them to 3 shops in Phoenix last week and all said they didn't want to take a chance on messing up the polish! Geez....

try something like zoops seal , zoops went out of business , but it was a coating that works well for this , i also found this on a quick search and looks like the company mentioned was started from a guy from zoops - https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/zoop-seal-is-no-more.750729/

if you get bored one weekend , is like to try one side of those on my jungle green ill buy lunch

Mama is visiting this weekend, doubt she is gonna let me play with cars.... great tip on the Zoops though.

I did buy a few cans of >> https://duplicolor.com/product/custom-wrap-automotive-removable-paint in clear and in silver for the back side. Going to try this first but likely order some Zoops to see how that works. I wasn't able to get 100% of the clearcoat off the inside of the wheel; needless to say the analretentivejackweed in me says I need to get the inside looking proper...

ive been tempted to color match the inner barrels to the car , which is good that mine sees limited weekend use , lol

so i agree the inside barrels need to look proper too !!

Where did you get the Holden Badge just for the trunk?
Thanx,
djkson

holden parts usa has them in stock

i think the G8 emblem is different from the SS

if all you want is the rear emblem , its best to contact karo , the trunk badge is in with the grill kit , i know he will sell the rear emblem by itself

Actually have been following that post on Facebook and plan to be there despite the 50+ mile run from Buckeye! Thx for the invite... what time do most people get there? I'm thinking 5-6PM'ish...

its usually best to be there like 3-4 , its easier to get spots , and gives you time to enjoy the day , before the rif raf shows up, lol
