Pontiac GTO....converted to Holden Monaro :) Bought all of the parts from Australia to convert the car over to the Holden Monaro CV8. I think it looks better......I know alot of you think the GTO is ugly/bland, and this conversion probably doesn't help ( 
) but I like it and thought I'd share.

I'm not a fan of the GTO, but for some reason (I don't know why yet), I like the way your car looks.
It may be that the rear wheel does not look as dug into the fender and the front end is more "open".
Either way, it looks great.

It can be done, but it's EXPENSIVE!!! Like around 9K USD. And that's just the parts.
That is an HSV Coupe 4 (AWD, LS1). HSV is basically Holdens performance division. Kind of like AMG is for Mercedes. HSV tries really hard to keep it's parts off of non-HSV vehicles, so they price them to the moon, and I believe you have to have a HSV VIN to order them.

looks great, i have loved the monaros even before i knew the gto was comming here
my only suggestion would be to loose the holden emblem from the grille... i know you paid extra and everything for it but a black hole there looks sick, i have a picture on my computer at home if i can remeber ill post it up
