I know I've seen VE Commodores with the Pontiac G8 front-end from the dealers if that's what he's thinking of.

Some dealers sell chev badges.

A series of commodore came with the G8 front end because pontiac shut it down so they had heaps spare.

None of them roll off the floor with anything other than a holden or a hsv badge unless the dealer puts it on.


BACK ON TOPIC!



Merry (belated) xmas guys!

Note the female driver is still trapped in the car because the trams are pinning the doors. The cops look like they want her to think about it for a while!

And it's a Pajero

If the designers had made this appear unibody instead of that awful fake cab chassis, it could of looked alright. That colour is hideous however.

Must be so shameful to drive a Holden.

SS drivers will start putting Holden badges on their cars to stand out.

Wow, you're not serious are you? Didn't think the epidemic was that bad. Holden should just badge them all from factory as Chevrolet. At least then it would save all the bogans from rebadging them on their own. I'm always seeing V6 Commodores with Chev badges thrown all over them.

Probably not so epic, but FAIL IMO...

If your going to spend the $$$ on a kit and mags, Colour code the side moulds.

I suppose they could have done the door handles as well, but I don't see it as a fail. Maybe if the bodykit was the wrong colour, or badly attached, I'd agree.

Its a pet peev of mine, people who spend thousand of dollars on body kits and wheels, yet dont colour code the little bits.
Seems like such a waste of time. But thats just me, I like things to look nice and flow, not look like a tacky half done job.

Mkay so, this looks alright other than the tacky chromie rims and vinyl.


But upon closer look, I noticed the stupid HAI (Hot Air Intake) and a bloody xbox 360, 2 speakers and 2 screens in the engine bay, what the hell..
