Cool thanks for the update, I really want to do it to. Do you mind telling us the costs?

It was about $25 for the springs off eBay, plus $35 for the shipping and about $150 (with mates rates) to get them fitted. If I had the money I would have gotten all the shocks replaced at the same time but... I don't at the moment :POriginally Posted by BigBoss

Noticed that one of my centre caps were missing, so went to Holden to get one... ended up with some upper boot carpet (and the centre cap!). I asked how much to replace the woodgrain with a different version... $160! Just Commodore Spares said they had one for $66 - this was about a month ago, I should call soon.
You could always just wrap the wood with vinyl. It would cost next to nothing.

Yeah, I bought some to test with but I'm not that good at it. Plus, the vinyl (silver) I want would cost about $40 to get over here - I figure at $66 I may as well get the entire thing.
$50 for the carpet mould and then $16~ for some special clips to hold it in. Can take a pic if you want?

Huzzah! Got my replacement dash strips today, still undecided as to how it looks... there's lots of black/grey! I was told there was a silver one out of a Calais-V that I could get but apparently that was sold. So, I got offered this for $55 - which isn't bad.
As well as that, I purchased a flip key (need to get it cut)!
Also, I love washing my car but boy do I hate it sometimes - realised someone has ever so slightly grazed across my driver door... you can just see it in the sun! (not to mention all the chips at the front from the previous owner, grrr)

OK, well, I've been on holiday in QLD for the last week - got back last night and had a few presents waiting for me! MACE manifold insulator and fake dynamat.
The insulator was the first to be installed this morning, and it was fairly straightforward. The difficult part was removing the previous gasket paper! So far, haven't noticed too much difference but I haven't taken it anywhere apart from a trip to make sure everything works. Fake dynamat, well, I saw it on eBay for about $30 shipped and thought I'd give it a go. It is what I expected, the adhesive is not very sticky and it doesn't really block that much. Oh well, thought I'd give it a go.
Will hopefully have my flip key tomorrow, I've been to a few local key places who won't touch it! Strange, I thought all that you would need to do is to cut the key, the transponder comes off my existing one. They've all recommended Goodwood Locksmiths so thats where I'll be heading off to.
Sounds good mate, remember if you can't get it cut a holden dealer will do it.

My local (Thebarton Holden, whom I bought it from) gave me the business card for the guys everyone else recommended!
