Decided to paint the front Holden emblem in gloss black. Contemplating removing the rear one and painting it or just removing it.

Yea 22x9 all round. Might get the rear guards rolled before the next pair of rear tyres go on and go a little wider.

In the states here, we call your triple center stack gauges, the "atari gauges" (reference to the old 8-bit computer of the 1980's) because our model year 2008 Pontiac G8 had the block "8bit like" gauges, and that's what they've came to be called, at least over here.
2008 example:

They got such hatred in the 2008 model year reviews, that GM cancelled the "feature" and as a result (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/12/useless-pontiac-g8-auxiliary-gauges-going-away-for-2009/), stock 2009 G8's had just a blank "cubbyhole" in there instead. SOURCE (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/12/useless-pontiac-g8-auxiliary-gauges-going-away-for-2009/)
No production G8's ever got the triple "improved" version of those gauges, but they're somewhat available (very limited) on the aftermarket.
But here's mine... a different twist on the same concept. :)

I was thinking of the old school gaming console but didn't think hard enough to what part of the car you were refering to. Lol.
Yea the 3 gauges look a bit better. I like how you've changed the colour of your ones. Looks awesome. Did you do the do the dash cluster lighting the same? Was it a hard mod?
