Everyone knows that the G8 is really a Holden, but did you know that it's also know has a...

Chevrolet Lumina SS

Chevy Omega

You guys have a section of stock parts to play with- especially the front bumper.

Holden's front bumper FTW!- just something more different.

That Lumina SS you posted is a Lumina SS with a Camaro front end photoshopped on the front. This is a pic of the actual Lumina SS if you do a google search ;)

I taken back my original opinion of the Holden front bumper for the voxhall VXR8 FTW!!! That thing would look sweet with the G8 hood on it. I like the vents on the side too.

There are different levels of the VXR8. Just like there is with the Commodore and the G8.

That's strange, in Austrailia the Monaro is the car that Pontiac named the GTO, a 2 door coupe.
