    also dont lower your car untill you have rims my friend had to relower because he got wider wheels than stock and it strted rubbing all over the place and it was also too low after first lowering

    Looks nice and clean.

    Man, my first car was a VN commodore exec and these day you've got people running around with VE's as first cars.

    +1 on what people have been saying about waiting on lowering it until you have the rims on it.

    Looks good mate. Very tidy omega.

    Grab an SS grille and trim it to fit - worth it.

    Yeah my plan is to get the ssv rims, and then lowering the car. I was looking at the ve - wm section this morning and like the idea of the g8 rear diffuser, which i will get to suit the new exhaust when the time comes. Just ordered an sv6/ss/ssv grille from holmart so ill update pics when i have updated the front with the new grille and fog lights

    I dunno man. I lent my mate the car for a 'Trip To Melbourne'. When he came back it had this lip kit all around it and hes like happy birthday man. I was pretty happy with it. Ill find out where it came from and how much it cost before and after painting. Ill get back to you on that one


    EDIT****

    I reckon its cheaper to buy a sv6/ss front bar and chuck that on
