    I reckon they look nice colour coded, though if it doesnt turn out right you just get a new one from the wreckers or hit it with paint stripper! Check out my garnish on my car.

    according to holden its a real ss. the rear lip is missing due to the exhaust.

    of course it does.the boot lid has been completly changed at some point for one with no spoiler,not just having the holes welded up in the original.i would say that who ever swaped it didnt bother to change the strip over
