    Default VE SS front bumper on an Omega

    Hi guys,
    I'm keen on slapping a SS front bumper on my Omega.
    I was just wondering if it's at all possible to ONLY put on the front bumper? If it would look good? Or if it'd look retarded?
    I know I'd have to change the grills too I believe?

    I don't know much about cars.

    P.S Please none of the usual flaming about "get a real SS" etc etc.

    Thanks guys!

    You missed what I was trying to say mate.
    I know that I can put on the SS bumper by itself physically,
    but what I'm saying is, will it look unco or unbalanced? With just the SS bumper and not the rest of the kit.

    I've got just the front on my ute and it looks alot better. And doesn't look unbalanced. I am goin to put side skirts on too though because I think it flows just a bit better into the back.
    I have seen sedans with just the front and I think they look much better than normal

    Cheers sickness!
    That's what I was trying to find out.
    I'll definitely do that then
    And another quick question, is holmart a legit source to buy from? As in, is their stuff good? Cos I've found an SS bar there for 185 which I reckon is pretty cheap.
    Any ideas?

    I have just the SV6/SS front bar on my Omega.. yeah the omega standard grill won't fit the SS bar, but I think it's a huge improvement. I was going to get the rest of the kit but I don't think I'm gonna bother for the cost.. maybe one of these days I'll replace the bottom garnish of the rear bumper with the series 2 one so I can have dual outlet exhaust but thats about all

    Without the sides and rear bar, it looks to have a buck-toothed profile, in my opinion - with the front bar sitting low and the rest still up in the clouds. That's an exaggeration, but it's enough to irritate me. Just my .02

    Thanks for that input Tin mate.
    I'm just researching it a bit before I do it.
    Hard to find pictures of cars with just the SS bar on it from different angles.

    And if I find that it does irritate me as well, seeing as I'm a bit OCD with this sort of thing, I'll just buy some skirts at a later time.
    I definitely don't want the rear bar though. Waste of money and don't wanna have to change the exhaust system.

    Mate grab the side skirts for about $77 each side from Holden. If your gunna get someone the paint the front bar, it will cost yu bugger all the paint the skirts while he has the paint in the gun. Just an idea.

    bought heaps from holmart. good service. think about dropping on the SSV headlights. as u will have ur bumper off and can do both at same time. does dress up the front more. got SSV headlights on my SV6 front and back and dropped in HID as there projector headlights. gives a better light. too many ppl drop hid into normal lights and blind the hell out of drivers. heaps u can do on the omega. just look at the car showroom here. am dropping in full leather interior into my sv6. done by blackmans leather. they do great work and have seen many cars and clubbys with custom work done by them.
