    I think you need some English and grammar lessons, but hey that's just me.

    No bodykit, because it's trying to be something it's not.

    Just a nice set of rims, and SL springs, tinted windows and she will look great.

    If you're gonna kit it, don't get an HSV one. They look a bit tacky to me. Either get an SS one or a nice aftermarket one but you might be hard pressed to find one of those. Fabtech Auto Styling seems to have a few ok ones from what I saw in the latest street commodores. Their website isn't fully done yet so no pics of their kits as yet.

    HBD style lip kit http://ssv.com.au/product.php?BKP142
    or SS.

    HSV ones are pretty gay, especially when people know it's not a real HSV.

    I reckon something like this would suit you down to a tee.

    When it's all said and done, it's a forum where opinions are expressed to help him make his decision, good and bad.

    Stick with the SS or HBD kits, It's never going to be a HSV and unless you buy the real deal all the fibre glass ones I have seen are crap.

    why not just do as suggested and lower the car, nice wheels & tint and leave it as is.

    This may not be what you want to hear yet I thought I'd just add my view. If your car is a V6 maybe hold off on the body kit.

    *Maybe lower it and if you dont have already have 'em,
    *put some nice mags on there. Something not over the top.
    *Also de-badge your car and maybe add some holden chrome from a berlina/calais to it.
    *For the ultimate look also add some factory fog lights at the bottom.

    Your car will look very awesome without the look of a 'try hard' V8.

    If your car is already a V8, go nuts. IMO there are just too many people dressing up their V6 to look like a V8 and some people consider it tacky.

    Just my opinion yet whatever makes you happy is best. Good luck with what you decide.

    If you do get a kit, the Senator one looks cool, without spoiler. Sorry for the big pic, linked to another site.

    I can't see anything wrong with putting an SS/S kit on an exec/acclaim. An S is a V6 isnt it!
