sorry but im gonna have to go against your opinion...
on the right car, with the right mods, being rebadged as a chev (with the correct badges) looks awesome... ie the chevrolet boot garnish for VT's, VY grilles, etc. i tell you what id rather see chev badges on commo's than ricer-lights on every seccond car |

yeah, I'm with MADNC_8 - looks great and considering most of them are Chev-powered, not a problem.
/me goes and drools over pics of my Chev-badged HQ....

Don't see a problem with it. Commodores have always been a re-badged car anyway.

Chev badges on LS1 powered Commodores are alright, but if you were to put them on your V6 Executive that would stupid

Depends, if it's replacing one of those new frisbee-size lion circles on the more recent Commos, then it's a huge improvement (IMO, those oversize lion circles look awful), and hey, at least people who do this obviously aren't the brainwashed morons who think Holden are more Aussie then Ford... "Holden means a great deal to Australia"...

I reckon they look fine. The Brushed aluminium logo suits black SS utes better than the big chrome Mole with the lion on it...

Seeing as Opel, Chev and Holden are all part of GM doesnt really make any difference.

What about Tickford badges on non-Tickfords or FPV stuff on non-FPVs?

Personally don't like the lion circle crap. If i had a commonwhore i'd definetly put chev badges on it. I say if it's got the gear then it can wear the badge without attracting a rice overtone. The badges must be tastefully placed in limited numbers of course. My 2 c.

It's just a badge so I have no problems with it, I'd rather people did that instead of retarded neons on their bonnets.

I dont mind the chev badges on the grill of Vy's, dont look too bad at all
A little off topic- Check this Daewoo Kalos I hired in Ireland a couple of weeks ago - seems they are badging them as Chevs now. Funny thing was it still had the Daewoo logo on the steering wheel and hubcaps. We refered to it as the Chevwoo |
