Hello,

Car project im working on in a few weeks.... Unsure xD however many of you may go why don't you just get a vz ss or clubsport well because i dont want to however i do wanna finish this project with a car a i really like which is my vz and it would make the car look amazing along with having a few tech advanced such as the HUD which will breath a great amount of life into this car with some newer things along with a new fresh modern look, also having a big boost in speed by adding the new ECU, Clubsport engine and gearbox.

I got a Holden Commodore VZ Executive V6 Auto and i'll be modifying the car and ill be dropping in a VZ Clubsport 6.0 L 349 hp Gen IV L76 engine along with air sprayed cover design of my avatar/profile pic logo on the engines cover also the HMD 4L65E gearbox will be added, the interior will have a HSV themed seats with a blue neon glow lighting effect, gauges, gauge vz pod holder, VZ Clubsport cluster, Head Up Display System, Dual Subwoofers 2,800w boxed up in the boot will be added along with a touchscreen entertainment and navigation system, The exterior will be a basic VZ SS but rebadge with chev badges, King Springs ultra lows and 18" Rims.

Lighting Effects

4 Blue LEDS underneath, 4 LED Blue Strips attached to the bonnet, 1 LED Blue strip behind the front grill, 2 Blue LED Strips inside the car and the blue glow will reflect on to the driver and passenger flooring, 4 LED Strips inside the boot. the LED control switches be located in the passenger side glovebox.

Wow ! Very interesting project.

Would this be a trailered car to shows etc. or a Sunday, fair weather drive ? (future progress photos ?)

Don't want to sound rude, what sort of budget are you contemplating?

Best of luck with your project.

Sorry for nit picking but the clubsport had the ls2 not l76.

Have you got a smashed up clubsport or something you're getting all the stuff out of? If not start looking. Buying all the bits individualy will end up costing you squilions!

Also if you want it to look like a show car leave the chev badges. They're so cheap and tacky looking :p

Rofl i was expecting this with the chevy badge well matter affect the Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Omega uses the same shells as the vz and features only rebadged and most likely using a different engine and gearbox so Holden and Chevrolet had a partnership of just rebadging and maybe doing a chevy theme to the car so the comments and hate about putting chevrolet badges on a holden is invalid due to the two companies partnership

yeah I get all that but its just such a bogan look these days. Overdone and tacky imo. I dont even think it looks that bad. Just the stigma.

Make your car look nice. Do something else.
