Not trying to nit pick, but the G8 is 2 inches longer than the Commodore. All in the front bumper and hood. The Commodore front end does not have room underneath for 5mph bumpers.

There is a longer version of the car that will be coming to the US as a Police only car that is longer than the G8 and the Commodore.

A friend of mine ordered the bolsters from Australia and got his seats redone to look more like the HSV seats.
