    Default VE body kit on a VT? yes or no?

    ok so my cousin has been pestering me to put a VE clubsport body kit on my supercharged s-pack. one day when i have money to throw away...i would like to get a custom body kit. but he's so insistant on the VE kit. Personally...i HATE it when people put modifications simply from other model commodores on to theirs (mainly monaro mods). i don't want someone to look at my car and go..oh hey he's got monaro tail lights, VE rims, a clubsport body and a monaro bonnet. i want someone to look at my car and wonder where the hell i got what i did. so far i put on 20" rims and a few other small mods which in time i'll put up on my profile. If i had a standard commodore i wouldn't even think of putting a different body kit on. i think it's simply ridiculous. at the moment i'm working on moding my grille. i had the idea in my head for years and just recently i saw someone with it. so i'm going to get a move on with that. so i was just wondering what people thought...VE kit on a VT? or not?

    i must admit...i don't mind the look of the VE kit...i just don't want to do it simply coz it's from a VE.anyone know of any custom kit sites? if i do ever decide on a body kit, it'll be something unique that hopefully no one will have...on any model commodore

    Good luck buying a kit that no one else has - you're driving a commodore, remember?
    VE HSV kits look pretty good on silver VT's - i saw one not long ago.

    i think the ve kits look tough as nails. would love to hook up my silver vx with a ve clubby kit. go for gold mate. just make sure (like other people are noting) that you do it on a silver model. only time they look good.

    They don't look so good, it's why that bloke has shots of his vt in the dark.

    Hey come on now body kits look awesome when they are on the car they belong on. Group A, SV5000 etc. But somethings just don't work, like a buisness suit on a scarecrow.... probably just end up with bird shit on it

    I thought about doing the same for my VY, imo it looks just too big n bulky to be on it.. But it's what ever you like in the end..

    if you can handle the criticism from some then go for it.
