Thanx mate,

Well so far:
A Pillar trim x2: $40
B Pillar trim x2: $110 (had to get the drv side trim from Holden which is $70, this includes the seat beat adjuster)
Seat Belt adjusters x2: $18 (have one as a spare)
C Pillar trim x2: $60 (waiting a response from the seller)
Grab handles x4: $16 (trade) each from Holden
Rear upper Garnish (sits between C pillars): x1 Qouted $85 from Holden (will hold off on this for a bit)
No way im going to ask Holden how much the C pillar trims are!:banstick:

So far have spent: $240

That's a great price, but i guess you've done the hard work searching for the parts. It should look great when your done aye..
If you remember amanda's VY SS(from northwest customs). She did the black Calais roof conversion aswell, but i think she spent around the $1000 mark.

Sounds like its coming along nicely! It'll be great to see the results. I'm curious... what is the interior lining like on the SV6's is it that shale colour?

I really like my black lining, just assumed it was standard on all the models.

Also... how do you find the 20% tint? Seems like its the perfect darkness. 5% on the back would be pretty awesome too! Hard to see out in day/night?

Cheers Theon,
Yeah its the shale colour, not the flashest around! Well i haven't seen an VZ calais with the shale lining so the black might be std on them.

No issue's as of yet, have to put the windows down so i can see when reversing into the Garage at night, lol. Its perfect at night, u can see out fine but cant see in:smoking:!

Yeah I'd imagine it is standard, either way it looks awesome!

Haha I can just picture trying to reverse with the 5%! Yeah I think I'll have to go with the 20% for the sides definitely, maybe 10% on the back.

I'm just worried the interior will still make it lighter than it is. Because with my 35% at the moment its pretty light!

Had much luck finding the acclerator assy./pedal yet?

Looking tidy as Paul! :beer chug:

Yeah, I'd hate to ask Holden how much for the 'C' Pillar trims too, sometimes they can be resonable with prices, (like the grab handles, for example) and others they want a lot more than things are worth, (in my opinion anyway!) :p

Pretty sure the VZ Calais came out with the black roof too.

Should look very nice once you get all the bits together, keep the updates comin! :smoking:
