They are off a 2004 Holden Caprice. I believe Impala's in the US used the same handle.

I only have close up pics while in construction (although could walk out to the garage and snap some more)

looks awesome, but the tail pipes look a little weird, did you think of running them trough the rear valance? just a thought. great stance.

what r u running for a drive train? thx

Grille I can't remember hunted for ages and found this on some little known website, they only make a few, although I have seen some recently that are similar, I think Rick's may have them ??? Best to have a look. I have no paper work from where I bought it and it was 2 years ago. All headlights and trim are just repo stuff but massaged a bit and painted up

I think on the tailpipes it a like it or love it...I'm not a fan of dumps and I like seeing the pipes out the back, I was debating putting them right in the middle or where they are. Did think about cutting a half circle in the valance but again I actually like this look.

Stance isn't quite right yet, looks OK here, but side on the front needs to come down an inch, it sits lower in the rear right now....but can't as it already drags the pipes just near the header flange, and I can't get the pipes any higher they are already tucked way up...
