Holden Camarodore?

[XD 351 Ute]

Next years HSV?

[JC]

looks pretty good to me.

[Adamz Ghia]

actually works rather well...

[UU TS50]

does not do it for me

[duaned]

For a strange reason I am feeling impelled to like this front end design. I guess it's true when a woman says, "it's whats up front that counts!"

[2.8L Hilux]

Not a fan of the ute that it's on but if that front end was on a black VE sportswagon it would look great I reckon.

[cheek]

I saw it in person about 3 hours ago in Chirnside Park and it looks even better in real imo...

[388cube_edxr8]

The 24-year-old spent three months developing the Chevrolet Camaro-inspired front-end, which he has now fitted to his own car, a Holden SS Ute.

...

“Most of the parts are factory GM parts – the bumper bar, the bonnet, the grille, the headlights everything like that,” says Bromidge. “We’ve just developed the guards and the mounting brackets.”

It took him 3 months to reshape 2 gaurds and some brackets?

[TheInterceptor]

Its nice! Next stop, change the interior, or at least the handbrake...

[asusdragon]

Must say I hate it! I love the look of the new Camaro's and if I have a chance might by one. But really don't like it on a commodore.

Though I will say to the person who made the bar good job it does look well finished off

[Ben73]

I hate Holden more and more everyday.
Every bogan is going to get this and it will be on every second ve soon

[Bucknaked]

Loks great. A lot of work has gone into that. I really like it. Much better than the current VE front. Improves the look car

oh, so it's not just me that loses digits every time I let the hand brake down?
That is THE worst hand brake ever!


I like the front end, it looks great, I'm not sure if it really flows too well with the rest of the ute. Maybe if he knocked 2 inches off the roof height it would flow better.

[Sizey]

It looks ok. That *** doesn't agree with the front end though. Although it looks ok, I still maintain it is full of **** factor purely due to the fact that it is not a camaro.

isnt the camaro built on the commodore body anyway? so it at least shares a fair bit of dna...

[LTDHO]

I wish I had a new car I hated that much I needed to put different badges on it.

[MYVYSS]

Not a bad kit and a little expensive as others have said I would like to see it in another colour, however (puts flame suit on) its better than the "Ford" conversion kit where you get a dome light, a lovely yellow colour and the word TAXI down the side.

I think I said enough.

instead of say... buying a Falcon?

to me it's just $$$ that holden has squandered by NOT bringing the real camaro out here like they promised.

Nobody was going to pay 60k for a car they cant see out of.

The elephant in the room is whether there will be a camaro conversion kit for VR/S commodores so the bogans can make the choice between the VY Clubby kit or Camaro kit.

the maloo is hard to see out of, so are some lamborghini's. but people buy them.

[TheSneakiness]

Don't mind that at all. If only he changed the ugly @rse end...

[AUIIPURSUIT]

the pontiac option looks better. i think the pontiac front looks tough as... whilst the camrodore looks very polished and well done, i feel (especially on the ute) it looks too short in the front end.

other than that, kudos on the effort.

I'd love to know how you managed it - could you take a video?

I had an R8 for 6 months and the only way I conceivably get a digit caught in the handbrake is if I didn't actually grip the handbrake naturally with my hand.

[divine_afg]

Kudos for being Bold... Was Thinking of this Conversion after Mustang Ute is Finish....

[Fairlane]

I like it. Dont know how it will look on sedan or wagon but on the ute, WIN.

[LightningStrike]

Good on him for giving it a go, it's taking the Chev badge on an SS to the extreme, but personally I am more of a fan of

badnews' Mustang Nosed AU

where an AFF member is grafting a Mustang nose onto an AU

[jcxr]

Yes, it floats around Lilydale, owner is "Mr Lugnuts", company that deals in all sorts of mag wheel nuts.

[mrbaxr6t]

is there anything these tight fisted bogans won't try, they want their basemodel hack to look like a billion dollar showpony, sorry but that smacks of tryhard..

[Fireblade]

Same could be said for anybody trying to do something different.

I see the response to the mustanged AU is very favourable but then this gets crapped on hard, interesting perspective of things here.

[Tucool]

Not for me, Just ugly
