when i first say the e series hsv, i was a bit unsure about the lights, but agree that they look a lot better on a silver or black car. i love the bodywork on the HSVs, i reckon the front bar is wicked as.
The rear tail lights are the only thing that i'm still uncertain on. Yeh it's great to see something different to the 'standard' VE Commodore but they could have done it differently. The tail lights definately need a little more refinement as they look slightly out of proportion... think about it, Holden designers designed the rear tail lights for a purpose, when you start to mess with the original design, it has to be an extremely good alternative to the original design intent. You will think the tail lights are even more rediculous when I tell you how much it cost them to relocate them... a cool $3 million.

Wow those are seriously large front brake rotors...probably overkill, but who'se complaining

Petrol is for the weak
Umm most probably needed to stop a 370kW, close to 2 tonne car!!!!
With the rear lights, i think maybe for a Series 2 update, keep the LED circular lights but colour code the rest of the light so all u see are the LEDs, just an idea, thats why these ligths look hot on a black HSV!!!
Sorry Mat i have to disagree, close mate of mine has a Citric Acid XR6T, and as much as i hate Fords, its a hot looking car, i don't think the Walkinshaw HSV pulls it off!!! The HSV looks alot more aggresive, therefore i reckon a strong red or orange colour would suit it better!!!
But then again, all to their own!!!

i think the caprice is the best looking car out of the whole range.
the hsv i would rate at the bottom.
at least its better looking than that Pink TS Astra Convertible with gold wheels
