Looks good mate, the green lip looks sick

[lclynch]

Thanks mate, Im doing the same with the little lip around the indicators on the side, ill post some pics of them when im finished.
This damn rain slows up painting..

[TinSnips]

Looks great mate. Maybe have a look at the calais bonnet garnish, sprayed the same green as the grille accent. Would look sexy. Just make sure you carry the theme throughout the car, otherwise it won't work.

Looks good bud, but best to wack it in "Show Off Your Ride" section... (in the VE subsection), and then link it in your signature.

If you keep it in this general VE section, it'll eventually just get buried and then no one will see it.

[lclynch]

Yeah thanks guys, and thanks for moving the thread.
i really wanted to do the breaks green too but, getting high heat paint in that shade let alone green is impossible.

[GTS-Replica]

looks nice like the colour.

[lclynch]

I spoke to Greg from ASR and i think were going to do green and white for the dash, with green footwells.

[tazdevil1964]

i like the green touches you have done to your car and as for green high temp paint .......if you go onto ebay.com and look for G2 caliper paint you will get green as I have green on my posion ivy SV6...

[lclynch]

Thanks man.
I did see that but i thought it was too expensive. $38 for paint and $40 odd for delivery.
I went to VG auto paints and got the green for $23 in a rattle can.

Just a few more days till the wheels go on

[BigBoss]

Ooooo they are going to look sick.

[lclynch]

Yeah important excited. ill have to drop it after they go on.
Ssl front and sssl in rear maybe.?

Oh i forgot, i also had some Hurricane mufflers put on awhile ago, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgbv...e_gdata_player.

Getting catback and extractors later.

[BigBoss]

Other way around mate sssl front n ssl rear (just to keep her level) if you are going low you may wish to think about new shocks to.

[lclynch]

The front is already low for a stock height, i don't really want to go to low.
But i do want to close the gap between wheel and guard. Im already scratching the underside of the front bar in some driveways

[bladerunner]

if you go ssl front and rear it will drop the front down to about an inch above the tyre and the rear,level with or just above the tyre, kings springs can vary + or- 10 mm in height though. short travel shocks are a worthwile prospect as your factory struts wont live too long. id do the front strut bearings if you do end up doing the struts as the factory ones are absolute garbage.. not trying to add $$ headaches to your list mate lol, just letting you know the common sense way to go about it thats if you dont know already!! the choppers will look good on it too!

[lclynch]

ok ill have to think about it. thanks for the info man. I asked the guy at the wheel shop and he said dont worry about replacing the shocks till they leak....
Id rather that not happen at all. Maybe i should drop it then pay off shocks over a few weeks.
But that sounds about right (just above the wheels in the rear and inch in front)...


Ohhh and the wheels went on today !!!!!

[lclynch]

one more shot off my good camera...

[Blind Sniper]

wheels are nice, I'm a bit bias toward them, I've got their big brothers, check my post, nice green highlights

Yeah i was thinking of 22's but i didn't want to go to big, running on almost no rubber
i use my ute everyday as a ute. so once its lowered, it just wouldn't be practicle.

[lclynch]

hey guys i got my dash done by Greg at ASR Audio on the weekend.
Its getting finished tonight it looks awesome already.
Ill post pics in a few hours.

[shauniie]

[lclynch]

[BigBoss]

Very impressive, well done mate.

[shauniie]
