Found these getting around thought I'd share, it looks amazing!
Though there are a few GTO posers getting around this looks very authentic except for the 4 doors. :nutsycuck Wanna know what it used to be? What do you guys reckon? |

Not sure about the front bar. But looks pretty good. Needs bigger rims though. Something to suit the body kit

I thought the general automotive section meant it would be okay for me to post holden stuff since I'm already seeing threads on nissan and mazda too. :

It ruins a very clean and nice looking car .....
By the way, posting Holden stuff is quite acceptable..... |

i like the rear end, how ever it needs better tail lights.
Rims could be better, they're not suited to the car fuel flap stands out too much can't stand the front! looks far too peiced together. but a good job from stock :P

I'm sorry but that number plate just screams ****ER!!!!!!!!! The car I couldn't care less about but a plate like that really points to some serious issues with the owner. Serious mental issues that may or may not be able to be addressed with modern psychological techniques and drug therapy.

Seeing Monaros and Pontiac GTOs everyday I have grown to like the GTO front more. Looks odd on a 4 door though.

Bit busy at the front, but nice to see something different. The back looks better than any VX I've seen.

I like the front bar but it would probably be better suited to a Monaro. It looks a little out of place on a sedan IMHO. But got to admire the effort gone into that, I dare say getting the front bar would be a bit of a task?

I don't mind it, nice in white. Would look good with the CV8-Z rims perhaps, or even a nice set of HSV 19's. Otherwise, it doesn't look too bad on the Commodore scale. Still just a Commodore with a bodykit but one of the best I've seen.

I'm not a fan of the pontiac front bar, but I think it suits the sedan better than the coupe.
