The conversion looks good, but stuff paying 9K for it. I would rather buy a factory 5L VL Calais for that much. |

...turns out doing the same thing to a holden is a "fail" Looks good, just needs a rear end kit for sedans, its a shame that they couldn't work a HK style grill or something similar.

Looks great, but I'd hate to rely on the airbags or warranty repair after it

It looks different and uses factory made parts. I think the special edition SS Commodore that looked like the Pontiac was $5000 more than the SS-V which is $5000 more than SS. It makes $9000 look cheap.

I wonder if he got inspiration from the 70s when they tacked Trans-Am fronts onto HQs.

I think it is a perfect depiction of holden nirvana and should be standard on all commodores.
And Epicas And Captivas And Barinas And............ |
