04-03-05, 09:37 GMT+10#81 They all look crap!
car shapes get more modern as time goes buy, and putting a new shape on an old car is just plain wrong!
It's like if car's could inbreed
To the people who have done this - i spose you are rooting your cousins as well??

Ok so heres how it goes, when a team of designers sit down for months designing a new car, they take into account body lines, match the style of the era and tend to ensure that everything fits together just nicely.
Then some tool comes along takes a new body kit and shoehorns it onto the front of an late 80's car it just doesn't look right because it doesn't fricken fit the design of the car!
You can tell the people who have absoltely no taste, because they are the people who do it. I can't beleive people even thing it looks 'alright', its utterly not matching and looks like a vl rear ended a VY and they welded the two ends back together. Seriously, being unique doesn't always mean a good result...
It could be worse though, really can't stand later model HSV kits people seem to be tacking onto the front of VN's lately, usually with an equally as bad colour coding job and a front bar that never quite fits.

Yer, but surely NO ONE would be THAT stupid!!!
If i ever saw someone put a Ford bodykit on a VL, then i'd be forced to beat the crap out of them!
VL's are the greatest car EVER, Ford's are the WORST (expect maybe the XR6 Turbo, that's kinda cool), the two parts should not be mixed EVER!

04-03-05, 14:46 GMT+10#90 eb/el something model falcon ute getting around bankstown area with a VS clubby kit, been cut and butchered everywhere, looks shocking.
As for that EF looks ok, spare not painting the kit. nothing worse than idiots who drive around with unpainted spoilers. Ive seen cars do it for months at a time. trial fit it yeah, but paint the bloody thing before you put it on the car.

04-03-05, 20:24 GMT+10#93 Putting a VY front on a VL is not original. Someppl designed a VL and some ppl designed a VY. Ur just taking idea's from 1 group of ppl and using it on ur car. If u want something original that do something original. Goto a graphic designer with YOUR ideas and get them to design u something. Then take it to a fiberglasser and get them to make it up. Painted fitted done. Not everyone will like it cause everyone has different tastes but they will at least respect the effort u have put in to be original.

and LMFAO at that brief period in time where marmo wanted to make his car like that yellow 'thing'
That yellow one is so much worse, the only thing i really hate about the red one is the rear bumper, i cant stand sticky-outty rear bars, doesnt EVER look good.
