Steph’s STOWLN Show Stopper VN Commodore (video)

When it comes to car transformations, Steph's journey with his 1988 Holden VN Commodore is an awesome one.

From its humble beginnings as his first car at 18 to its current status as a show-stopping masterpiece, this car's evolution is a testament to Steph's passion and dedication.

The video kicks off with an introduction to Steph’s bright red beauty. Steph gives us a full run down on the car’s history, reminiscing about the car's V6 days and its transition to a V8 with Group A throttles. It's evident that this car has seen its fair share of transformations, from a simple street cruiser in the late 2000s to the show car it is today.


One of the standout features of Steph's Commodore is its stance. The car's airbags ensure the perfect ride height, and the genuine three-piece Simmons FR19s wheels - though some might argue for something bigger, these give it that old-school charm. Steph's penchant for authenticity shines through.


The car's vibrant red hue is another talking point. Ditching the traditional Holden colours, which Steph felt had too much orange, he opted for a Honda shade of red. The result? A popping, loud red that complements the car, especially when paired with the satin black contrasts.


The interior of the car is as impactful as the exterior. From bucket seats to a mix of carpet, suede, and leather in varying shades of red, the inside is as much a showpiece as the exterior. Not to mention the billet steering column, a significant upgrade from the factory version, and the flat false flooring.


While the car is currently more for show than for the streets, Steph hints at a future where it might once again cruise the roads. But before that, he has his sights set on Summernats, hoping to make it to the ‘Top 60’.
