Default Wicked VX Commy to Pontiac GTO conversion *56k NONO*

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?

Hey,
Thought this was Ford Forums? Holden stole those bonnet scoops from the XB and XC falcons! No crappy commondores!

Cya,

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. :

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.

I have no problem you posting stuff like this in here.......Just dont expect a positive reply when you post pictures of Holdens in a Ford forum. I wasnt attacking you when i replyed to the post about the car. I just have blue blood in my veins and i hate Holdens sometimes with a passion, but if a Holden owner lived next door to me ( shudders at the thought ) i caould be best freinds and drink alot of beer with him. Just dont take some negative replys personaly !! :1syellow1

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.

I reckon it could do with different rims but other than that it looks great.

That was the first thing that jumped out and smaked me in the mouth.

The bars are a different colour.

Your right about, spend a bit more time on fixing the gaps & lining up the panels better & get a better match on the paint, but the idear is there & i think it could be a real head turner & look very different to other comm out their.
