That's a nice looking car you got there mate. Would look great with some bigger wheels and/or sitting a bit lower.
I'm going to be the first to say it though: the Chev badge up front, and Holden up back just isn't doing it for me. It's your car though, so you make it look how you want it to.

Wheels are good hey. Storm package was it got sat nav , storm badge , red stitching on seats , storm embroidery on dash and wheels were a little different as in having black and chrome. Sold the storm wheels for $800.. was after the ss but dealer sold me the storm ss as it was in stock.

Yep that's what I have done and it makes a hell of a difference I must say looks better lowered and sounds like a V8 now and must say the storm look rather good.

To be honest the Chevy badge cheapens the car.
On the US the Pontiac badge carry more weight than Chevy.
The Pontiac Division was the GM that we can say, invented the Muscle Car with the Tempest/GTO.
Most movies that has GM as their stars uses a Pontiac (Smokey and the Bandit, Knight Rider, Rockford Files, etc...)
Ford are usually Mustangs.
Do not wish, desire or even disrespect but to be honest.
Have been looking through a lot of Holden photos from all years and models on my opinion the VE is the best looking design.
I think it looks menacing
For example, on the US roads I have to really look at the car because I have a very tough time recognizing it.
The Impala, Malibu and the SS they look like clones from each other.
Please, do not take me wrong, is a just a personal opinion.
I am under the impression the GM brass gave Holden a chunk of cash and told them to make the Commodore to look like Chevrolet.
Is pretty confusing.
However, in the US the VE/G8 people confuse it with a BMW.
Countless times I am at the fuel station and some bloke ask what BMW series is :rofl2:
And to be quite frankly, I rather be confused with a BMW than a Chevy or Buick
Anyway, is a nice ride. :spot on:
