That's all very good and well but does it have the go to match??....does it even have a V8 under the hood??...hmm, so many questions, so little minded Holden owner.
 If I ever catch him at a set of lights, I'll show him why the bulge belongs on a BOSS powered Falcon. :evil3:

in the 70s and 80s there were EH holdens and a few Toranas getting around with Ford XBGT scoops on there cars, low and behold Holden themselves copied this concept on there new Monaro! Ive seen a BA ute with geniune XB/XC scoops grafted into the bonnet, looks to old school for the BA, he would of been better off grafting the Monaro scoops on there I think...its just a viscious circle. As for putting 9 inches in Holdens, its no wonder why, compare a 10 bolt crown wheel to a 9 inch crown wheel and it becomes blatently obvious that the 9 inch is built for business.

It works both ways, there are several Fords going around with VZ SS vents, even monaro scoops.

I dont think the Commodore looks bad at all. I dont see why people get in a fuss when people use parts off other cars/series/models/makes, they are only car parts.

Montys right you know, seeing as nearly every car has at least 3-4 different bits of car under the hood he has a valid point who cares if he put the bonnet bulge on i dont like it personally but hey if he likes it so what.
cars are meant to represent you enthusiasm and personality (not that i think holdens drivers have any personality) its a choice not blasphemy.

Is it just me, or does the bonnet on the VR/VS not line up properly with the bumper and grille? It seems to be sitting up slightly in the middle
As for the bulge on a Holden, it doesn't look right at all.

Why not, theyve raced with Ford head and suspension design. May as well finish the transformation.
Its too square for the slopey rounded nose. |

there is this blue piece of holden getting around S/E melb, its got the ba bulge and a VX kit stuck to it, it looks pathetic. It's great seeing them on holdens, its something to point and laugh at as you go by.
