Haven't checked in with my Australian Mates in awhile so I thought I'd share my latest changes with you.

Should be easy to find that car in a crowded car park.

unless you parked at a Clown Academy.

It's certainly a one of a kind. Not my taste but I commend you for doing something different.

Thanks fellas, for the good and the bad, lol! I have 6 IOMs within a 30 mile radius of me, so I had to do something different. The rear is one of those things you have to get a feel for in person really, and when I first planned it out I had an SS-V rear spoiler in mind, which I have yet to get.

That would look awesome in the rear-view mirror, but as soon as you were along side of me I would :spew:.
The bonnet looks better than the usual track stripes me reckons. Not a fan of the Pontiac emblem though.
Rear bumper needs to go back to same colour as car.
Black lip on boot would probably look ok.
Dark rear lights look good.
Side skirts? Dont know. Maybe look different with the rear bumper back to original.
Your wheels look like 18", which is way too small. Possibly the same sort of wheel in all black in 20" and if you must incorporate a bit of orange to the mix, them maybe get them white walled, or in this case orange walled.
Has it been lowered.

Overall, a bit too much black, but its original and wouldnt cost much to repaint a couple of things back to orange and not stand out so much.
You take criticism very well which is good.
Some of us aussies are not so receptice of criticism, whether it be constructive or not.
Maybe you yanks arent so bad afterall.:headbang:

Its good to see that there is a market for all of our discarded Holden badges.
