i think at the end of the day if ya have to take car off the road to long and ya cant then buy the parts and store them till you have all parts and do it in 1 hit rather than having ugly half done jobs it looks stupid
like primmed bumbers if ya dont have the cash dont start the project till ya have all parts and can do it in minnimal time

looks is not the be all and end all, yes its nice to have a good, finished looking car, but if ur car is off the road becoz of a missing/damaged bumper, i'd be droppin on a primmed or bumper from the wreckers to get me by, until i had time/money to finish sanding/painting.

some ppl cant just buy and store parts til they have the money to do it in one hit. some ppl need there car, to get to work, to make money, to finish there car. it may look like sh!t, but it gets you by.

The VT garnish should have never seen the light of day ;)
That's a bit harsh, the VT garnish has a nice classic look to it, especially how it has the word HOLDEN underneath it.

Agreed that looks stupid with any other tail lights, the VT unpainted garnish only suits the original VT tail lights.

Sorry Cuz Thats Wrong And Looks Pox ( Note That The reverse lights Are Painted Not RWC )
Are you referring to a painted or unpainted VT garnish? Daron's setup has the reverse lights relocated next to the indicators in his VT tail lights (have a look at the pictures of it earlier in this thread) and is perfectly legal.

Yeah, I once saw some idiot who actually wired up all four reverse lights! :eek: It looked terrible. That's the reason why I started this thread! :p

heres some pics
not that clear but ya can see what its like
First and foremost,not bad at all.7/10,more point's could be had if the engineering extended to separating the indicator and reverse assembly thus seperating the two.
1st time I have seen this done though and I encourage developement in this field.
