- VX SS 383 Harrop enhanced
I have a VX SS commodore that is in pretty good shape overall. I'm currently getting a fair bit done on it in terms of mechanicals etc. In other words its not stock.
I was speaking to a mate a few days ago and mentioned in passing, when I get my car back I'm gonna get a sunroof installed...
OMG...well that started a small sh!t storm. Its was like I was performing blasphemy. Your cutting a hole in your roof?, You'll never be able to back track from it...ever, Its not original, what about resale value etc etc
The only point that he really made sense of was that he said that it makes the car look more like a euro car like a BMW or something... which I sorta see...it changes the profile of the car a fair bit.
I'll likely still get it done as its my car while I own it but I've spoken to a few people since and it seems like a polarizing question that people have a firm opinion on if its not a stock factory option.
What are your thoughts on a car that is beginning to age (become rarer) with this sort of aftermarket modification?
This guy has one on his VX as a reference...
