    Default VR Senator Stock or Modified?

    hey i have an authentic VR Senator and was wondering if i should keep it stock looking in the interior or change it a bit? i was thinking blue led's throughout and things like that.

    I would only replace things that could be put back on if you sell it, leds can be easily removed.

    There should be laws about this. Keep it as original as possible. If you want something to pimp then get a SS or Exec etc and go nuts. There are heaps of them around.

    If you want to smother something in LEDs and Neons, buy a Civic.

    A VR Senator is a sacred thing. Leave it how you found it You're allowed to modify the drivetrain, suspension and engine, but if you so much as touch the body kit or interior... *looks away*

    VR Senators are becoming a rareity. I would be leaving it bog stock except for an exhaust and a lowering.
