You think a STI badge on a STI converted lib is bad ?

[B4TT]

The 6 is stupid, but so are STi logos on Liberty's etc. The Chev badge, I can't really hate too much, a fair few blokes on here have LEGACY rear tail garnish on their Libs... no?

hahaha true, I personally would not put a Legacy garnish on my car.

@Vicelore(sorry forgot your name): Not really, that's not really my point.

My point is, if you don't like a Chev badge on a Holden, then you'd be a bit of a hypocrite to be cool as cucumbers with STi logos on non-STi's. Who's to say they don't have import parts on their Commodore?

[mark300]

Must be a tradition here as well to put a chev badge on your commodore. finding a commodore with a holden badge on it here is like trying to play spot the Aussie in western Sydney or Chinatown

It's the chev badge right next to the ecotec that gets me every time.

I'm scared to race them.

I think by doing a STI conversion you have almost earnt the badge.. Built not bought unlike the holden.. If they had gone to the trouble of putting the Chev engine in themself then i got no grief with them showing that badge ..

But by the same token, if you bought a Holden V8, you have bought a Chev V8. Whether you built it in your shed or not... it's a real thing.

So it's even more legit than a conversion.

We're all different. We agree the 6 is silly. Maybe I'm too old.

Debadge, don't rebadge.


Badger.

Interestingly enough, the Holden front end/badges/etc. are quite sought after in the US for the front of the 'GTO' (Monaro) - it happens everywhere.

Everyone's a fuckin' snowflake.

[Scuba-Roo]

Do whatever ya wants with your badge, whatever you do people are gonna hates it.

But chev badges on holdens look are for wankers.

180slider sounds cool, but to be cool you should really just out an ls2 in it

Look what you started!

Stfu about badges!!!


Sc Calais is alright, bud. But I've never driven a v8.


Handling is non existant though. And I expected it to be faster. My car would munch it at the lights.

Get a pulley kit, and up the boost. They go heaps better once you've done that.

It's only smoko and I've done 8 drawings!!! Time to knock off I reckon!

[B4TT]

Yeah I 'ing hate fake woodgrain, it looks puss.

It isn't specifically a Chev V8, it is a V8 made by GM that happens to be used across several of their brands including Chev and Holden, so by that token it is like badging your RS8 as a Lamborghini (only even further removed!) or throwing some Audi badges on your skoda because they have the same parent company and may share some of the same technologies.

[vicelore]

At the end of the conversion.. I think im just going to leave Rx 2.5 badges and standard 16inch wheels on the girl ( atleast for a few months.).. Sleeper ftw..

Yes. It is. That's what I just said?

Let us continue to talk about badges until Adam passes out.

hahahahaha.

Adam removed the Subaru badge from the front of his car and replaced it with a donated star of David.
