I hate rebadged cars. Ex boyfriend bought a Monaro that he thought was real but was fake for lots way back when. He didn't take anyone with him when he bought it was conned. A lot of people know nothing about cars and buy on what they think it is because of the badge and they lose money.
Also with the amount of money people spend getting the ES to look like an RA, VRX or EVO why not just buy that car in the first place. Probably cost less.
Other than that I think that people who rebadge Commodores with Chevy badges are W*****s and need a smack in the head. Especially when they buy a brand new wagon and drive it less than 50m and proceed to rebadge, put massive wheels with rubber bands on and rip out the seats and put SS seats they bought from a wreck (back ones couldn't fit so that made me laugh). Get a feel for the car before you start pulling it to pieces. The guy literally drove it across the road to the guy doing the work for him.
You can do whatever you want to your car and everyone has different taste but honestly some people make a dogs breakfast of perfectly good cars and then pass them off as something they're not.

well my car was originally done up like that from PMR so i didnt put the kit on i bought the car as i liked the kit and the interior and yes mine is an es and i do understand where people have come from so i have decided to remove the RA badges of my car main thing is glad i dont have the shitty ES badge on mine.
I also think the people and you know who you are no need for abusive messages alright settle down and go and get a breath of fresh air ok:-)

I quite like that bonnet. Reckon one would look nice on the SX? And then I'd have to have that lovely chrome in the front. Oh and the foggies. But I'd put yellow bulbs or lenses in them. Honestly foggies have to be yellow to be effective in fog. Hmmm that's a good idea for another thread
I saw a blue RA sportback at uni last week. It was parked beside mine. I'd take the front of it anyday with the back of mine
Oh and some of the gadgets inside would be nice too. But to be honest I'm more than perfectly happy in my stock SX. It feels like it was made for me Who is online
