if i were to buy the new gxp, would the aussie fenders bolt up to the stock pontiac front end? Or would i have to do the whole front end conversion?

HSV GTS 300 would know,but converting the car to a holden should be fairly easy

HSV-GTS-300

Actually I don't know about just a fender swap. Where the headlights key into the fenders looks similar but is it identical ??
A complete Holden swap would involve hood, grille, the panelling and supports behind the grille ??, headlights ??, front bar assembly, fenders.
Here look at some pics.

To make the car look like the Holden all you need is the Holden hood and front fascia parts from a vendor like JHP - http://www.jhp.com.au/ - also note the trim around the greenhouse on the Holden is black, not chrome. The tall spoiler also requires the Holden trunk lid.

If you want the HSV look then you need much more parts and things get way more expensive.

as of right now, i dont want the whole front end. I only want the hsv clubsport fenders on a g8. But i may later decide to do a whole clubsport conversion. I hope i dont cause that hsv stuff is expensive

This allways amuses me as some of us Aussies try amd make our cars look like the US versions whilst you guys want em to look like ours.
We should organise a swap of bonnets,front bars and badges to save some coin.

The Chevy Bow Tie Version Looks Good !

Actually sounds like a decent idea. The fun part would be paint codes and addresses. Not to mention shipping and cutoms! Imagine the look on the custom agents faces when they get 6 hoods, and 12 fender FROM Australia, and the same ammount going back the other way, from Residential addresses. Hahaha

I was thinking the same thing. If I decide to get a GXP I might score a pair of the HSV front fenders with the big vent. They look much better.
