In my eyes, Walkinshaw badges devalues Commodores...
Here's the Walkinshaw badge's opposition. It's genuine 340 spec, airbox, headers, Maloo midpipe.

Yeah, thats why I have a modded Maloo, and I wouldn't put HSV badges on a Holden.
I've found that cars modified with aftermarket components devalues them in most cases. HSV was Holden's performance wing with components listed in a Holden parts book recognised as a factory approved fitment, no different than BMW's M Performance division. Generally speaking, modifying a Holden with genuine HSV components because of the "factory" recognition, increases it's value. In most cases, people will pay more and desire a Holden modified with genuine HSV components more so than a car with aftermarket (non genuine) mods.

Putting HSV badges on a Holden devalues it by making the owner look like a wanker...

Funny thing is, I've never had a prospective buyer interested in the sexual habits of the previous owner. I guess if a particular car was used in rape and murder, I'd agree it could potentially devalue it.
