It seems many people are trying to convert their Pontiacs to Holdens, and while I don't have anything against Holdens. I still love Pontiac eventhough it got AXED. :(

So here is my futile attempt to keep the dream alive! :patriot:

Well I'm pretty sure I'm the FIRST to do this... And I'm sure many won't like it, but anyways, tell me what ya think!

Sneak peek from G8 Meet this weekend

Image

Rear badge is now the front badge and a little bit bigger, plus I did some de-badging to offset the addition of new badges HAHA!
Image

Oh and the idea wasn't my original idea, I got my Inspiration to try it, from here:

I think it looks alright....I would get smaller Logos for the sides though...IMO.

Like the ones they put on the back of the G3.

Sorry, thou shalt not steal.

The longer I have these badges on, the more they are starting to grow on me. I really do like this appearance mod.

I think a "Pontiac" badge would suit it very well at the top across from G8. Same style as the 05/06 GTOs that say "Pontiac - 6.0"

Holden is a division of GM from Australia than manufactured the Pontiac G8. The G8 is based off the Holden Commodore, as is Europe's Vauxhall VXR8.

Holden was also responsible for the 04-06 GTO. Which (in Australia and Europe) is known as the Monaro......

Looks good, but do agree. Smaller badging would look cleaner

Haha, don't forget the Spark, Cruze, Astra, Epica, Colorado.. etc etc.

Best part.. Bob Lutz has been quoted saying he doesn't like the idea of rebadging in reference to rebadging the G8 and bringing the Caprice back
