Body kits?

[Kikki]

Wondering if anyone has dealt with Carmate ?

What you think of there prices. I was just looking at the "CSVY-VTHSV Style" Full Kit for $979 (unpainted, no boot spoiler, but dont want one)

Sorry off the topic a little, but if HSV copyright their design and look, how is it companies get away with making these kits? Does the effect of copyright law pass on to the consumer after buying the product? Could HSV sue the buyer?

[Kikki]

um dunno lol! Good point though.

I dont know about the company but im not a fan the vy kits to suit previous models.

Yeah i agree, they look ok on a VY though i still prefer the SS / S body kit on a VY though.....

I agree, i think the bodykit on the car should be the one that was around at that time. ie VX HSV stays on VX's, not vs etc. Theres nothing wrong with the vx hsv kits? why not aim more that way, or get an ss bar and make some mods to it to make it different

[Kikki]

I actually agree, I couldn't see a VX kit at the time (TBH I actually didn't realise the pic I put up was a VX try hard VY lol), although now I think I prefer the SS style.... dunno will go through some of the VX pics here and see what I like.

i have a VX exec (its white) its got a VX clubsport kit (in the fotos its got vt side skirts cause SVE gave me the wrong ones)

Thanks I like the look of that, a lot less "wog" looking lol no offense to those with rather "bulky" kits.

If yu dont mind what did it cost?

VX front bars are actually larger than VY.

[Kikki]

They in fact might be correct (I would have no idea) lol but the first pic I recon that kit looks really bulky.

[VZTHUNDER]

they both are. the vx kit is bulkier tho :P

[Astranomical]

If it was my car, I'd convert the entire front end, bonnet, guards, lights and all to VY/VZ, looks better than this, IMHO, but thats just me.

[VZTHUNDER]

but then u have VT/VX tail lights still and it wouldnt look right

[Kikki]

No your right... it wouldn't lol

Im going to stick with something to suit the car.

[BANKS]

if you decide to go with a HSV VX kit, which i think will look mint, change the front lights aswell. get rid of the teardrop over to the straight hsv style ones. they look heaps sharper. i dunno how much they are but loads on ebay could also get the rear boot garnish aswell and then you'll be cookin

[vlv8vic]

What other kits are out there? Not a fan of that one at all. looks too much like a transformer.

[1991_Vn2nV]

C2R if ya can find one. Would love a black VX calais with a C2R kit, dumped with some touches of chrome

[VZTHUNDER]

C2R doesnt do much for me tho
its like an exec kit with a chunky lip

[1991_Vn2nV]

Bah no taste man C2R kits are awesome.

Agreed Dylan, C2R kits are awesome, think tom SIG 054 could help out with one of those puppies

I've seen a few VT/VX getting around with VY/VZ panels on the front and I personally think they look fine. Just like the people you see putting VR/VS panels on their VN/VP Commos.
