I rarely make posts where I really am stumped and don't know what to do. Usually I ask knowing what I want and stick with it whether people agree or not (usually wheels).


But, i'm debating this side lamp for my GTO, it's what the cars had down in AU since they didn't have the GTO side plate. What do you think? Part of me says it makes the car look dated, part of me thinks the GTO plate is even uglier. Part of me also realizes it makes the car look dated, but the car IS dated :lol:

so, here it is:








what's there now

 

i take it there are holes behind that badge...

 

What would really be unique would be to combine the two concepts and have the GTO plate light up.

 

yep, otherwise it would just be removed

 

GTO badge

 

in all honesty, I want the least amount of badge I can get......I painted the holden lion on the front black so you couldn't see it.....if I had my choice (my body shop screwed up) there would be no Pontiac arrow on the rear; I had already removed all the other rear badging.

 

i'd just remove the badges

 

I like the smooth badgeless look. But, if you can't do anything about the holes behind the badge then I'd pick the badge over the lamp, its the lesser of two evils.

 

and just have a big hole there?

Keep the badge IMO.

That light look like something from AutoZone...

...and reminds of a Mk4 Jetta.

 

I like the sidelights... It's ADM yo !!

 

Badge or get the holes filled.

badge definitely. Or can you find a red lens?

 

Have you thought about painting the badge body color? Just a thought. If not silver badge over the light.

 

Mmm, I'd get the side lamps. Uniqueness I guess?

 

keep the badge...or toss it and fill the hole, but then it's back to the paint shop

 

the badge looks better

 

badge bro... so much better looking

 

badge, better looking and way not worth the effort

 

thing is, my car is a bastard witht he monaro front and then all the GTO stuff

 

That just makes it more authentic monaro, not better looking, the name means nothing anyway.

 

Now that you mention the Monaro front I'm all for the sidemarkers. Its like an Integra with a JDM front.... best is no badge, but better to have the "H" than the "A" otherwise it looks funky

 

ya, here's the current front end..(but the emblem is painted black)

 

find a better looking euro turn signal and yes...too meh the badge looks better.

 

badge for the win

 

take it off and fill it...that would look pretty clean

 

I'd keep the badge.

 

Got bored in photoshop...

 

i swear somebody mentioned that eariler
the shave makes it look so clean

 

i usually hate badges but i am not sure about those lights. they look kinda cheap.

Keep the badge.

IMO you should get the whole VXR body kit and not worry about anything

 

what about tinting the light black? (or even a kandy thats close to your color). Personally I dont like it and would shave it.

 

badge. with the light I thought it was a chevy cavalier for a second.

 

get the rest of the holden kit and then get the HSV kit ftw

 

Badge or clean, no lights

 

Blacked out badge to match front could work too...
