So now its just a matter of sitting back on our hands and waiting another 12 months again......good thing I guess is it'll give me time to save a few bucks up and import a 'few' aftermarket parts... |

I just wonder about the price. A year ago Holden boss said 'beyond $75,000' which is just over twice the price of the U.S. version.
In comparison the RHD Chrysler 300C's sold here go for just under double their U.S price. There's no way I would spend this much money on car (even if I had the money), so I'll be waiting-out the second hand market, if I get one at all. $35K feels about right for me. Could be a long wait. And in the mean time I'll probably buy something sensible like a honda civic and be completely happy with it and forget about owning a camaro. |

@Wanwo - pretty sure the RHD's have been canned, copule months after the last guys post.

Dude, just picked mine up on Saturday. Black 2010 2SS/RS. It's awesome.
There are a couple of companies in Oz doing the conversions - Performax in QLD, MCI in VIC and another one in VIC that I can't remember the name of right now. There is a second hand one at Autostyle.com.au here in SYD. Have you're cheque book ready!!! |

Company here in Victoria that converted to RHD was Crossover Car Conversions (Also trading as Mustang Motorsport). Conversion is excellent. Drove the car as existing LHD, cannot tell it was LHD!

HAve not been watching this space of late, but congrats that's awesome. Lovin' it I'm sure!!!!
Had mine tinted at 20% last week, hopefully getting my Pedders lowering springs sometime this week and waiting on my car bra this week also (for the long trips). Did you get GFX at the same time as the car or have you imported separately? Looking to get CAI and a Hurst short throw soon.

BTW BIGGIS, have compared my conversion (MCI) to the Performax version and I think mine's better - how's your dash texture ie: where the door trim meets the dash you can see the difference between the two.
I find mine is corser grain and shiny compared to the origanal, how's yours match?

Hi TD,
Have seen a performax conversion, yes this is better. Texture match and therefore colour match is difficult as the existing dash is plastic, new dash is fibreglass. My dash was the first of a brand new mould. I just got the car back on Friday and they have fine tuned the existing dash sides to the new dash. They reckon they can improve further when back for the next service. Looks pretty good to me, disfficult task given the lines and shape of the dash. I just put in a colour coded heritage grill - looks awesome. The roto-fabcold air also looks impressive, will have to post some pics. Cheers
