Yes on the right car if done subtly.
No on standard and with too much of a lip
only on certain cars but not novas IMO
depends on the front of the car to, bad boy bonnet and standard bumper is a no no

If you get one... just go for a very slight lip.
It'll still give you the look your after without looking over the top.

They just do not suit a Nova in my opinion.
Some cars they do but not a Nova. The beam from the OE headlamps is poor enough without welding a sheet of metal accross it.
They suit cars where the bonnet dips below the line of the headlamps, ie mk2 Astras & XR2i's etc..
UP TO YOU however!

They are rubbish, they went out of date about 8 years ago and I like the minmalist lighting from my tiny headlamps as it is without any intrusions. Have got any pics of your car? Obviously a bad boy would look gash on a nigh-on standard car!

i quite like them, got a bad boy lip on my sr, but isnt welded on or anything, so is easily removable!
