Very, very nice mate. I have lived in the USA on two different occasions for 5 years all up and it was great seeing the ocassional G8, GTO and SS. Last time round I had Dodge Charger R/T which had the bottom plate in the pic. My wife had the other one on her car. Great souvenirs.

What a great looking car.

That orange really pops!

Don’t see many in that colour over here, it’s a variation of tiger mica?

Thumbs up mate

That's my favourite vf2 colour and those plates are classy. I like the contrast with the black especially when combined with factory optioned black roof and rear wing

Enjoy

Mate that thing is stunning. What are you using on the paint to get that shine and clarity.

Thank you, all!!

Yes, I have spacers behind the wheels. They really changed the stance and appearance of the car. I am getting new wheels, however.

I love the design of the HP20 rims but their Achilles heel is the OEM fitment where the offsets are way too conservative for the big wheel wells on the VE/VF Commodores.

Using spacers to bring them out flush with the fender lips like you have has really enhanced the appearance.

What rims are you swapping them out for?

What's the story with the black SS in the background of one pic? It seems to have the Holden insignia in the grille too.

2 stunners.
Well done Louis, it looks gorgeous and tough at the same time. Like an angry wife in a negligee.
Why no SS badges on the rear doors?

I did quite a bit to get her back to Aussie spec.

Cool....

Over here we see some guys making their HOLDEN Commodores a bit
".U-S-A." with Chev badges (never understood why they do that, but now that it's ALL GONE, they might be going back to Aussie-look) and there you are over there..... Great..Mate.
