How To -- 6.0 V8 badges on G8-GT

[HSV-GTS-300]

Some people have been asking for the correct placement of the Holden Badges. Recently I went and took these measurements off 2 x Holden VE SS-V's to assist you guys.


First the Badges and where the measurement were taken from.

The straight line H is on, is parallel to the flat surface on top of the sill.

**** Note , some G8-GT owners prefer the rear V badge on the upper (USA) passenger side rear instead. You'll have to spot that one by eye alone.

Step 1. *Use a credit card, plastic putty knife, dental floss, or 20 lb fishing line to remove the double stick tape on the back of the Decals of your choice. *The only one to leave is the badge on the front bumper (holes behind).

Step 2. *Use WD-40 with a microfiber towel or just your thumb (careful of nails) and wipe any left over tape off.

Step 3. *Apply and remove your favorite wax after wiping off any WD-40 residue.
