Dazzler, I do appreciate the work. However, if it looks like a performance machine, it should go like a performance machine.

Another thing, that is a VT with VZ and VE mixed into it. And HSV embroided into the seats?? Its a V6 VT executive, thats all it will ever be. '

I don't for the life of me understand why some people waste skills and talent cross breeding differnt model cars.

I will agree the idea is different. Just fails for me.

Now lets

My car has BA brakes as they are bigger then AU standard. Im silly for doing that? What about my E series fan belt cover as AU had them deleted? BA scuff plates?


That car is an epic win, only fail for me is the dash, and the motor, but thats easy changed. Even a TT kit on it would be sweet.

Its a fail because He has fitted the HSV stuff to a car that is not a HSV or having a enhanced engine. the same as anyone that fits a kit to any car (HSV or FPV) and lables it as such without having the engine to match.

Hmm... still has 'Holden' badge on nose (as opposed to HSV)

Kinda silly thing to say - given that your profile pic is a BA wagon with a non XT front bumper... ???

Christ almighty, that guy would be making a major loss on that VT. The amount of effort that wouldve been needed to make that alone is enough to avoid "fail" status. Commode or not.

He wouldn't be the first bloke to dump loads of cash into a car that he'll never get back. I'm certainly guilty of that. I've never thought about resale when I've modded any of my cars. Just the enjoyment of the result. Then again, the mods I've done were always to improve the car not tacky stuff like this car has.

All you guys bagging this blokes commy have completely ignored what I thought was the blindingly obvious. That would be the extremecustom.com.au sticker down the side of the thing which in all likelyhood is who/where the car belongs to and was built. It seems to me to be a rolling advertisement for their work and is probably being sold off to make room for the next one which makes it one big bad vomit inducing tax write off, hahahaha.

Everyones an individual and eveyone has the right to cutomise (sodomise?) their property however they see fit. Instead of being derided and put down this gentlemen should praised and lauded for his unwaivering determination to express his feminine side with such individuality and flair. So in the end its not a fail.........its just crap.

I was in a work car, no way I'd leave part of a dodgy rego sticker like that in my own car!
