Agreed, yes the black altezza's would give a meaner look, but you may also get away with the chrome altezza's too, as your SS is white, but I reckon the black would be better with your setup as the SS has no other chrome ...
I don't know how some people change their VT rear setup with VX or even worse change the VT tail lights with VX / Monaro / Altezza and leave the VT garnish. It looks bloody awful. Some might think the VT look is getting a little dated, which may be so, but if you ask me, having an older, much better balanced look is a hell of a lot better than a newer, crappier look! Give me the VT setup over the VX anyday!
Ozeparts has the Berlina garnish listed for $260, or you could also go for the Series 2 Calais ganish which also has the chrome bar for $365. Yikes!
Or you try your local Holden spare parts dealer, I think they should still should be able to get them in, but I'm not certain. Also, don't know how much either ...
I changed the garnish on my Berlina with a Series 2 Calais (it has the chrome bar) becuase there are other chrome parts (such as the strip that goes around the car and the chrome grill inserts) so it balances. I got mine 2nd hand from a wrecker for $250, just lucky I guess, in the right place at the right time. Just check that the garnish you get has the internal park light diffusers, so you don't get ripped ...
I think that the loom for the park lights should be included with the garnish, but not a big deal if not there. You can buy them or make them up real easy. Just tap into the power feed from the number plate light. With the wrong garnish, it pointless having it light up anyway
Yes,
definitely get the VT series 2 tail lights, especially as your SS is white! If your side indicators in the front guards are amber, change them to white ones also! :thumbsup:
