The swirls are very annoying, it's really just about finding the time to put into giving it a full detail. It'll happen soon.

Is it G8 GT spec or GXP?
Does it have bluetooth?
Remote Start?
Heated seats?
MyLink?
Same manual rear view mirror?
If GT spec, is it the MY9.5 engine update?
Does the DIC display the same info or less?
Does the speedo convert to MPH also?

No this is my car I drive when I want, the 4runner is my bush basher, my daily drive to work etc is a VW Golf.

G8 GT spec. GXP got the same driveline as the HSV's, i.e. the 6.2 litre V8 etc.

No remote start.
No heated seats.
No MyLink.
Standard Rear view mirror.
It's the same L98 motor setup in the VE SSV's from mid 2009 on (got the LS7 clutch)
DIC provides same info
Speedo is standard Aussie VE SSV spec so just km/h.

Looks great Hama I love the look of the OE 19" wheels they are clean and look good stock or even better dropped a little.

Those hood vents are actually designed to extract heat, they don't really force any air into the bay.

Bonnet suits the aggressive look of the car, they are actually straight through vents so it's not a purely cosmetic thing, air is flowing through into the bay.

Looks great Hama the OE 19" wheels look super clean and even better with a drop.

The bonnet vents are actually heat extractors they really don't force a lot of air into the bay.

Couple of sneaky phone snaps from gym carpark.

Been really lazy, haven't got a video of the exhaust. Haven't installed clear markers. Haven't installed rear diffuser. Haven't organised tune yet.

Massive CBF's at the moment.
