are the fog lights HID's? I really like the front bumper. Awesome color too. Are you going to change the interior around at all?

fog lights are projectors, not HID's

factory headlights are also not HID's, but they work great. I'm undecided on the interior, the "GTO" stuff doesn't bother me as much as replacing the Pontiac arrowheads with Holden Lion Heads

Looks great! Personally I think I wouldn't have gone with the Monaro badging, I would have either gone badge-less, or kept the gto badges on there. I know it is basically a Monaro at heart, but I just don't like re-badging things, whatever it may be. Either way it looks great, and twins sound like a good idea...

I believe they had a "GTS" version, correct? If I remember correctly, the top Monaro's were called HSV(Holden Special Vehicle) GTS. Tony, can you confirm this?

The smoothed rear valence will be perfect. Now just complete the conversion with the seats and fuel rail covers.

Top version is the Holden HSV GTO. HSV is their equivalent of our SLP. Their GTO is the equivalent of our SS/WS6 in the states.

Good looking car, just too many spokes on those wheels. I feel like it takes away from the flow of badass as I've seen those style wheels on so many civics. Now, it seems more like badass with a hint of fast and furious. The wheels themself, nice. The car itself, nice. Just not liking the combo :shrug:
