GTO Update
Permalink Closed

Some pics of the car after it came back from the shop. The Front end I had for a while, the grills and lower portion are known as SAP (Sport Appearance Package)

What I had done was install new side skirts, a new 3 piece wing, a new rear bumper and replace the exhaust tips, everything but the tips came from Australia where the Car is known as a Monaro, and these parts are from a special Monaro called an HSV (Holden Special Vehicles)

I think it came out great and wish the car woulda came like this in the first place.



















All the work was done at my friends Shop, SiC Performance

I think it came out great,opinions?
Joe

Joe, that looks really good!!! And the nose piece isn't all that far off from the original Monaro. My only change would be to debadge it, it would look sleaker

Thanks Guys!

Dave, this is what the front of the kit looks like:



Unfortunately you have to also change the headlights the whole front costs about $4k not including shipping...more then all the pieces I bought combined...

As for the debadging,

I was thinking about getting rid of the triangle gto on the front fender...problem is theres a whole under there which has to be filled, I'll probably do that next time around.

The GTO on the lower skirt, it looked to plain without it there...also spent a decent ammount for those as well as the small holden emblem on the rear trunk...so those stay.

Thinking about getting rid of the 6.0 on the right side of the trunk...gunna replace that with supercharger...one day.

Joe

 Joe, I posted that pic to show the way it looks debadged, But since you have spent big $$ on them, I guess leave them.

Honesty is what you're looking for?....ok here goes

Spoiler looks fantastic, I really like it........but

Side skirts, ehhh......I'd honestly have to see them in person before I give my final blessing

Side view of the car now looks more like a Sport car....and not a Muscle car....I dont know, like I siad I have to see it in person first
