    2 18'' Verde Scorpions on

    Dont put stripes or spoiler on, it'll look gay as. I reckon lowered with a nice set of rims that suit it and she'll be a sweet ride. That said, she'll be your ride so do what u want.

    1. Black stripes on champagne are rarely flattering - MAYBE a more subtle contrast would work - but I'd be inclined to leave it nude.

    2.Chrome looks bad on most things, but particularly bad on VEs. And to me, those chromies are nauseating. Steer clear of of anything like that. Also, in my opinion, 18s aren't big enough -19s work, 20s are perfect, 22s are too big. There are HEAPS of really nice wheels out there that don't involve chrome.

    3. Speak to Greg from GSL Rallysport for a lowering option that will suit. Send him a PM. More info here. KYB / Kings Commodore Lowering Packages!

    4. A lot of sedan owners are removing the spoilers, so if you really want one, you might be able to grab a cheapie second hand. A spoiler without the rest of the kit though will look dickie. MAYBE a lip spoiler if you're dead keen on the idea.

    Why don't you save the money from the wheels and suspension and track stripes and buy an SV6? Omegas are ugly as all hell.

    Fail on fail on fail. Subtle is the key on something like that.

    I reckon, if I had the choice, I would buy a VZ SS over a VE omega every day of the week. No comparison. VZ SS > VE Omega.

    Well for a start you should have bought a white car and secondly those wheels aren't even close to what is quoted up top

    Jess: Do whatever you like and whatever makes you happy when it comes to modifying your car. Everyone has different tastes and different opinions. If you want to go those rims because it is what you would like to see on your car, then don't let anyone influence you otherwise.

    At the end of the day, your the one who will be seeing and driving the car every day.

    Personally, if it was me I would go 20's at a minimum The VE body is nothing like the VZ, 18's look tiny on them.

    As for 22's being to big, I disagree
