You all like any of these body kits from HOLDEN? (should be JHP edit.)

I dont like the front end looks with that large "CREST" badging on front.

My car is going to be out of the shop tomorrow wearing the nose that was designed for it... Monaro, with a Holden badge!

Did you order one from JHP?

Assuming they come shipped in primer, did your shop have much work trying to shade match the paint?

Post some info if you will. I like two of these kits and actually looking at them.
Im no fan of big badging and I see most of the younger US guys actually de badge the cars the first thing they do.

Shipping experience turn out OK? Which one did you get?

Yes, JHP. Good bunch of guys.

Comes shipped as raw, black plastic, like a replacement Pontiac part would (I guess). The front was replaced as a result of a hit and run in the company parking lot, and they got the hood too. The shop had to blend the front fenders to match the new paint on the hood and nose (they say silver is the worst to try match). I have not seen it done, should pick it up tomorrow, so who knows how well it matches (couldn't be any worse than the factory job). They did a fine job after I deleted the spoiler, so I'm not too worried.

The kit I bought was the VZ...



I'm not a big fan of all the badges either - my car is completely shaved. Unfortunately, the part that the big chrome lion mounts to is molded in to the grille, but the grille is easy to remove (and modify).

Love the fog lights, not much else. Do you have to run a front plate? Woul be nice if they could mold what I assume is the plate cutout there in the middle.

My favorite grill mod is the Woodward inserts and MidwestPDs chin spoiler.

Fog light configuration LOOKS cool... I hope it works as good or better than the stockers with Silverstars in them.

I am not wild about about the Holden front either, but I like it better than what Lutz did to it. The main goal with the mod was to increase the "WTF is that?" factor, while still staying low key.

And yes, the law states that the front plate is required, but I never run one

Thats does look really nice.

I pulled the trigger few weeks ago and bought the LAST SAP kit in the US and its being delivered tomorrow says Fed Ex Freight. 100lbs.

Problem is its RED. I may sell if I decide to use one of the JHB kits or find color matching has any problems.

My shop says they can blend paint and said Silver is bad to color match like you say. Shades vary, and my 05 Quick Silver looks like its half azz paint job. They had problems with some. Looks like white splotches in paint up close.

Anyone hear of any service bull. on fit/finsih/body (paint)?

I am trying to find many pics showing the different JHP kits installed for decision.

Flip that SAP kit for a cool profit and buy the VZ. SAP fever is high right now...cash in.

My QS had issues on the hood and trunk that were addressed under warranty.

I might.

I have a set of SAP grills also, and the more I look at them the less I like em.

I think they look better on QS cars though then dark paint cars, IMO.

Whats that cutout area for just above lower large open air inlet?

Read above it may be front tag which I thought at first but kinda long for that?


What do you think about some kind of GTO badging in place of Lion?

The "cutout" is a slightly recessed area for the front plate.

The chrome lion sits on a molded black lion that is integrated into that black bar. The black bar can be removed, but it leaves a smaller black bar underneath. The bad news is that you can't just delete the whole bar, the good news is you can remove it easily if you want to modify it.

BTW, I was supposed to pick my car up yesterday, but I wouldn't accept it. There were several "issues" with the work they did. Bad paint, scratches, missing hood insulation retainers, dirty, ect...

I knew the good job they did the first time was a fluke...

Got my SAP kit in today and checked it in the dark when I got home.
Had small puddle of water running out of box and appears to have been wet probably sitting on dock somewhere out in the open.

Also hole in side of box. Stuck my hand in and didnt feel anything up close to hole but PRAYING its not damaged.
I will check in AM.
