Looks great mate. Very tidy. Wouldn't bother with the LS3 though - the conversion would probably cost you more than trading for a clubby.

[dijm8]

yeh i wouldnt bother going for the ls3 unless your really serious about it, im in the middle of doing mine trust me u need alot of of cash
love the white commy's tho

[Tommo_27]

Yeh chances are the LS3 conversion will never happen. Wll get the LSD and tune and leave it at that.

[Tommo_27]

Painted Holden badges black. Crap pics but you get the idea.

[TinSnips]

Looks good mate. Black on white always looks good

[RUF-60L]

nice work with the badges looks good!

was gonna debadge the back completely, but black badges on the front and back look good, considering my whole car is based on black and white

[Tommo_27]

Thanks guys. Very happy with how they turned out.

[tomholzy]

that looks low in the rear for SSLs

ever thought about those wheels in black?

[Tommo_27]

I reckon its sits perfect in the rear but would like the front a bit lower.

Yes i have many times and i will hopefully get it done soon. Not sure whether to go for black or gun metal? Also don't know if i should paint or powdercoat.

[tomholzy]

either or, although the darker the better, and black kinda fits your theme,
powdercoat definately, I was going to paint until I met someone who painted and wished theyd powdercoated, its cheaper, more durable, and wont pitt from brake dust - kinda hard to beat imo

[Tommo_27]

Sounds good but i have heard that powdercoating chips and flakes off? Not sure how true that is.

[tomholzy]

it shouldnt

[Tommo_27]

Might have to powdercoat them. How much did it cost to get yours done? If you dont mind me asking. PM me if you want.

[tomholzy]

$70 a wheel

Love the car mate!
Done some similar stuff to mine, looking at suspension and rims in the near future.. yours sits reeeeeally nicely!! im definilty thinking SSL's all round
Keep up the good work mate! and spraying the supersports either charcoal or black would look great i reckon!!!!!!

[Tommo_27]

Thanks mate. Will probably end up going with a gun metal or matt black for the wheels.

[TinSnips]

Gun metal





Black





Black gets my vote in this instance.

[Tommo_27]

Thanks for that mate. Wouldn't mind something in between. The gun metal is not dark enough and the black is too dark. But if it was out of those 2 colours i would pick black.

[RUF-60L]

matte black like the lip spoiler

[TinSnips]

Thanks for that mate. Wouldn't mind something in between. The gun metal is not dark enough and the black is too dark. But if it was out of those 2 colours i would pick black.

[Tommo_27]

matte black like the lip spoiler

I think matt black would fit the car best.

That looks good tin. Def my fav so far. Will probs go with something like this.

[a.critta]

matt black gets my vote!!

[a.critta]
