I did my civic duty.

I wonder if people are just giving up on putting anything up against a Holden product. ;)

I don't think you'll get much argument on that...

Although last night, I did a national search for a manual 2016 SS and only 1 was on AutoTrader. :(

My ONLY beef with the car with it's front end redesign, is that they did away with a dedicated fog light for the LED's.

I don't like that vertical chrome piece on the front fenders. JMO - BC

Oh wow lol Thanks everyone. I don't log in here as much since not owning a Bonnie anymore so I was surprised to see this thank you. I appreciate all the support to be a nominee for COTM.

Just a little update on the car. I have a few things to install. Holden front grill, rear emblem, door seals, steering wheel airbag, steering wheel with red stitching, YT6000M intake tube and a K&N filter. I have a little work ahead of me. Still waiting on the door seals and one emblem. It may be a little bit but I'll update my other rides thread with pics as I get it all on the car. Oh I did install the Holden center caps on the wheels and some licence plate holders and the OEM painted engine cover. I would love to fit the red shift knob for the G8 GXP but sources are telling me it won't fit. If they weren't so expensive I would take a shot and try it. I don't see why it would be different.
Just reached 2K miles on it today!

1oldman, There is a black out kit to change out the chrome fender trim and some other chrome parts too.
