Great looking set-ups in that brochure. Gives a more aggressive and rally car like look to the SS. No prices in the brochure though. Is this stuff expensive?
If you go to the Holden website Holden Australia: 2013 New & Used Cars, Offers, Prices & Dealers and select a Commodore SS or SSV then you can select the Accessories tab and view the same items.
On the Holden website for Accessories it shows Recommended Retail Price (RRP) in AUD and in most cases including fitting to a car.
This will give you some idea.....but naturally won't include packaging, shipping, insurance, Paypal fees, exchange rate etc etc

You'd need a new Holden front upper grille, because the shape of the front emblem is cast into the grille with mounting points for the differently shaped Holden Lion emblem.
Holden VF SS/SSV upper grille


Front Holden lion (rear view)


Fitted together


Trunk lion has 2 small round alignment pins, same size and pattern as the original bowtie. Badges on the trunk are a straight swap.


This thread details the front upper grille changeout requirements.

There's a few folks that have done it so far (my parts are on the way!).
Search around for the threads.
Crazy Paul is the best place to get them.

What did it set you back for the grill and emblem plus the decklid emblem? Do they come in black?

The front upper grille and many other exterior trim parts are available off the shelf from Holden already painted Phantom Black Metallic (PBM ).
No, none of the Holden VF emblems are black.

CP, I'm planning my move from the G8 to the SS. I was perusing the Holden and HSV sites and noticed the cool twin gauges the HSV has down low in the center stack. Will those fit in the SS and will you be able to get them? Thx.

They won't work in the SS.
They're way expensive.
They are not plug and play in an SS.
SS chassis wiring harness has no connectors for them.
The Auto trans surround used with twin gauges has a big round hole in it for the ride selector which SS doesn't have.

The real question here is whether I can order the sheepskin seat inserts?
