    Not sre where you pic is....But It depends what kit you want, I've seen some really good custom ones, and some that are not custom, and are original kits that look great as well it's a matter of personal preference really...

    I love the lines of a clean VY Exec

    Lower it a little, throw some ceptors on there with fat rubber, and you have a hot looking daily driver!

    I rekon a nice SS kit or something would look nice with maybe an inch or two lower. Dont do a body kit that is going to be over the top, something nice and simple would work great.

    I'd just change over the front bar to either an SS or SSX and colour code the black strips. Other than that I'd leave it.

    I agree. I wanted to kit mine for sometime but decided against it. No point trying to make my car into something it's not.

    There are so many other little things you can do to make your car a head turner without kitting it.

    Couldn't have put it better myself! They never fit up right, they get cracks from bloody road bumps, they don't do well in the sun over the years and they break easily.

    Genuine plastic kits FTW!!

    Dead on. Learned all that the hard way on a previous car... Would never get another one - I'd rather a plastic pov-spec kit than a fibreglass anything.
