    Default Monaro front kit on ebay, Worth it..?

    As the title says, is this worth it..? Guy says its all new parts and it looks legit. What do you think?

    BRAND NEW CV8 Monaro Front Conversion Kit Vt Vx Vz CV8Z (eBay item 250720144086 end time 08-Nov-10 17:58:42 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

    These don't come up very often, especially in new condition

    hey mate,
    ive heard genuine monaro head lights go for around $350 each. So if the kit is all genuine as it says it sounds like a bargain to me mate. Just gotta make sure there is no damage or anything to it.

    nah i'm kidding

    i think you have to tally up the full exchange price

    just say you get this for $1,200

    it would be at least $300 to spray n fit???

    so $1.5k?

    what do you think? it's not cheap but if it's what you want...

    i did this on my vt. i got
    monaro copy headlights 280 a pair new on ebay
    genuine monaro front bar, badge and lower insert for around 360 from holden
    150 to get sprayed
    sca brand fog/driving lights to fit front bar 40 from super cheap (however the light bracket did need slight modding to fit bar perfectly)
    all up it wouldve been 830 ish. in my case though it was claimed through insurance at no extra cost after a small acco where i needed a new front bar. fog and head light anyway. price it up yourself though.

    Gotta be honest though, the Monaro copy headlights look really bad. Especially compared to genuine ones

    I think there too black, where as the real monaro ones are balanced with a little more chrome
