QFT - When it comes to Wikipedia, for all anyone knows you or I could have written anything on there. Regarding the car, that is a sweet ride there! Mighty fine!

I like it, I really like the black conversion in some of the photos.

Looks good. I've seen a few GTO's turned into Holdens. As far as the Wikpedia error, you should sign in and fix it.

David's car is sick! It is one of the few cars that when I park next to it people don't look at mine. That includes exotics!
I also have heard people call his car ricey becasue of the big spoiler and the vortex generator.

Holden has some amazing looking stock rims on their website.

Your car looks awesome btw.

Very clean work on the "junk in the trunk."

Off topic but, Wiki should require a confirmed source before you're allowed to post.

Anyways, Does the Holden and G8 have share the same engine/drivetrain setups or what?

The Holden Commodore has several trim levels as does the G8. Yes, they do share some engine/drivetrain setups. In Australia they have more options than we do.

I got tired of my Chrome Savini Avarus AV5's and decided to go with a new look!
I purchased some Vossen VVS-082 Polished Faced, Black Spoke, Black Lip 20" wheels and Yokahama S-Drive Wheels.
Going for a totally different overall look with the car.

I also dropped it using H&R drop springs. More appearance mods coming soon to support the new look!

I think it would of looked better with a brushed lip and black spokes but it still look 100x better than before. These wheels make the car look meaner.
