looks nice mate, maybe a few more future mods? like exhaust, headers an anything else people can suggest, when you got your rims i would have went with 20's if i was you, even 20's look small on a ve

Don't ever waste your time (and substantial amounts of money) on NA mods on a V6. They serve absolutely no purpose. If you want to go FI, that's a different story...
You're better off personalising the look of the car to suit you... Turn it into a good looking (to YOU) cruiser. A NA V6 is never going to have decent levels of performance.
A couple of little things: polish the callipers (or for something more major, upgrade the brakes) and put on chrome mirror covers. Lower it an inch... Will be a nice look without compromising practicality completely.
Also invest in a whole lot of decent car care products and learn how to detail your car properly... Easiest way to get a good look is a decent detail.
yeah. rims come with the car. thank god. only got the V6 because im 23 and the insurance is threw the roof for a V8 (sad face) I'm going to do something silly to it. going to get a second hand grill and sink a decepticon emblem into it so it looks flush, not just one that's been stuck to the side of the car. i know its silly but i no one has done one yet. so maybe i can be the first :P

lol nice... done well, that would look pretty good I reckon! Anodized black would be my choice... Then get all the chrome surrounds on the windows anodized black too.

Oh also, a REALLY LIGHT tint on the tail lights would look awesome...
i think its illigal to tint the tail lights. my luck i would get done for it:P
its illegal if the tinting is dark, like a light tint should be ok

ok. latest mod i have pulled apart the dvd playing and converted it into a blu-ray player. was not fun. wont switch to front screen but im not bothered by it :P still looks stock. just did all the internals.
i found a new pair of ssv axle backs for $50 bucks.. looks and sounds so much better now. nice low burble. and no drone what so ever. im so happy with it.
looks nice and clean. wheels def need to be changed. only 18's that would suit would be gen holden calais, sv6 or caprice ones. Good to hear you did your axle back exhaust....thats my next step and good to hear your feedback.
have you thought of some lowered springs?
