Blue LED's do not belong in a HSV....
I would prefer to keep everything mostly stock man

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.

hey fellas not to hijack the thread but are the vr/vs senator back seats the same as the vs calais back seats?
And ill throw my 2cents in, mate its your car your choice but as others have said, the car will hold its value alot more unmodded, so imo i would leave it unmolested
