Nice! Definitely need to lose the wheels, they SCREAM "This car has a V6".

Which is sooooo unfortunate, I actually like those wheels WAY better than the stock ones from a GT. Maybe when I get mine someday Ill trade with someone who has a V6 and we'll both be happy.

Which is why you get the 19's on the GT.
I know a lot of the GT guys like the V6 tail lights though.

They kinda clash with the orange, though. And the back end kinda looks a lot like an Impala when it has the V6 taillights.

Yea, Ignition Orange is one of those "unique" colors that doesn't play well with other colors/accessories/options. I had that issue with my Camaro which was Cayenne Red Metallic. Black worked good with it, but after that...

I'm a bigger fan of gunmetal/charcoal than I am of black for wheels.

I think it's the same as the hood, the lines just hurt the looks.
The bumper cover looks slightly darker however...

I think it's a crappy pic, and we should wait to pass judgement until he gets some real pics with a real camera, LOL.

Holden hadn't excatly mastered the new water based paint yet when they were making G8's. The bumpers are often a shade off in certain lights, and more so in the 08s than the 09s.
