    Wow - this guy is insane. Surely he could have gone to a Pontiac dealer and requested a SSV be imported and then throw the motor away. Would have been heaps cheaper.

    Seems weird having a "Holden replica" - maybe he needs a Chev badge now?

    Looks great, thanks to the panel beaters and detailers.

    As for the lights, You would have to view them in the flesh to see how servicable they are. It may be possible with some giggery pokery to replace the LEDs.

    Umm guys the guy is a member on JustCommodores and has a thread on SHOW OFF RIDE section : Evoke SSV in the US? Why yes! since day one he has posted every thing he has done and just recently he has finished and posted that same video.

    Few hours ago another guy started this exact thread.

    Angel eyes are inside the headlight so I'm guessing to replace them you would have to open the sucker up

    Doubt the LEDs are replaceable, even genuine HSV LED tail lights arent serviceable.
