Rubbish!
He's not putting HSV badges all over his car.... he's simply changing the front end, who cares?!?!
there's no rules to modding cars.... you can change wheels, suspension, body kits, interior trims, even badges (barf).... if that's what YOU like, do it!
so what if it's from HSV, HMV, HMAS or any other acronym. it makes no bloody difference where it's come from and what it was originally made for. if it looks good on the car (or does the job performance wise) and you can afford it, why not?
its got nothing to do with being a 'try hard' or 'pretender'.... it's personal taste. some like it, some dont... tough **** to those that dont.
OP, for $600 DO IT... good value & looks good.
let the haters hate... at the end of the day you are the one driving it every day. if thats what you like, do it.
