GTO with full HSV Conversion

I don't even want to know how much this cost. I did a run down on the parts alone and it was close to 7K


looks HOT though!

Don't care for the front but the rear is nice. Don't think I would put $7k into though, that's a little high.

yes 7K on the bolt on parts (body panels, wheels, badghing, etc).

The shipping is VERY expensive......that doesn't include paint, etc

I like the color, photography, wheels. Not a fan of the kit.

I knew of the Monaro and always said i would get a GTO and do the conversion. Got a job as a porter at a dealership and a mechanic came to work with his cammed out GTO with holden bumpers and rims.....BADASS.

That car you posted i would buy in a heartbeat. Kinda VIP rear spoiler too.

Doesn't the HSV kit requires new headlights?

I like the rockers. He needs to put the VZ taillights on.

Holden Special Vehicles, in Australia. Pretty much like Ford's SVT in America, MB's AMG, etc. although I think Ford has something in Aussieland too, FPV or something like that. Just their high performance division.

Call me crazy but here's how I see it.... GTO front > Monaro front > HSV front

They all look great though

I actually like the pontiac version the best. Kind of weird to say that though

Would get rid of the GTO badge. Also, I think this is the first time I've thought a front plate would actually do this car some justice

GTO Badge is actually on the HSV cars in AU....it was the "GTO" edition car called the "HSV GTO COUPE" and ironically was built about a year BEFORE the GTO finally came to the states

i like the monaro front better than this and the pontiac front but spending 7k on exterior mods for a GTO seems retarded.

HSV is badass. He needs some badges to finish it off. Lucky Australians!

damnthat is hot. its 7k but think about it, all the bumpers are urethane instead of a typical fiberglass body kit. OEM stuff is always expensive too.
