    That looks great! love the colour, obviously you have put a lot of time and thought into it, the front grill makes it look angry.

    Thanks guys


    The rims I just got from a tyre and wheel place, Holden frown on them being sold but you can't get in trouble for owning them and the front bar is custom made from fibreglass

    looks like an overall nice car, dont like the tail lights though
    and dont see why you got a hsv rear bar, modified it to fit, instead of changing to hsv rear lights (one of the best design aspects of the hsv)
    but to each their own

    It was easier and cheaper to modify the bar rather then change the car to fit the lights cos then you have to change the whole mounting system since the hsv lights are lower they mount completly different

    What is the difference? I took out my Hsv tailight section and the one from my brothers ss and if it had the Hsv rear bar it seems it would have bolted up perfect.

    only thing i can see is that you would need that extra metal peice above the hsv tails
    either way man, not saying anything bad about the car, just personal preference since the ve hsv rear is my fav thing of all holden models ever :p
    Very unique car, not easy to do with a commodore lol, congrats

    I appreicate what you've done, but there's just a bit too much going on with it at the moment.. looks too busy.

    I think ditch the sun shade spoiler & the wind deflectors, it might tidy it up a bit - or keep them and drop the stripes..

    Not hating, just some comments. Apart from that - keep up the good work mate..

    have you changed your tints back to black?
