my before and after shots

[craigvl038]

hey all just thought i would post up some before and after shots of my car and the kit i just got.

[rb26dett]

Any particular reason you went for a later model body kit?

[craigvl038]

because i wonted somethin different and i havent seen one vl on the road with that kit. and also i like the curves over the square shape

[bangers]

she sits low to the ground!!!!

[craigvl038]

yeah to low im gonna put standard springs in or just low as with super low i cant get up any drive way
what ya reckon standard or low

[bangers]

you'd have to measure the height now and work out how much higher you need to go. lows are only an inch higher.

[macdee]

to each their own!

[CALAIS 6]

not a fan of that kit i rekon it looked better before

[mag]

Looks tough from the front but!!

Yes a bit low, what size wheels are they?

The springs-maybe low and not super low..

[Surf All Day]

i like the sides not great fan of the front and back, but not my car ur car ur personality and preference, nice job man, how much did that set ya back

[bradvt98]

dude i like it.
it's different like you said damn it is low pity you gotta raise it looks good but it all comes down to what's practicle doesn't it be a bitch if you got a flatty the way it is now

[ucwepn]

Yeah I like the back of it, reminds me of a director rear bar and the sides look ok but the front I just don't like at all LOL No offence. What have you got against the walkinshaw front bar? That would have been my choice but its your car and if you like the look of it then good for you. Oh yeah and I don't particularly like those tailights either.

[vlv8vic]

i like it. i looked at the same kit a while back. what was yours worth?
mine was going to be delivered to melbourne from perth for around $1000. dont recall the company. change of heart over the dollars was all that stopped me.
nice job anyway, best ive seen. seen a couple before. a yellow one looked average.

[rb26dett]

Im not a fan of it, but as long as you like it then thats all that matters. If everyone liked the same thing the world would be a boring place.

[harry3]

does the wheel hit the road when you hit a pothole? are those very low profile tyres sensible?

[craigvl038]

it cost me $1100 from perth to brisbane and havent got a bill for the paint yet.

they are 16inch rims and they arent very low profile tyres they are just the normal size.

[ucwepn]

The profile looks low in the pics, what is it? 50, 40 maybe?

[craigvl038]

they are 50 but it looks lower as the car is sitting on grass.

[stock_vl]

put 18" maybe grange 19" rims on there and it will look tough! that way you willl save some money by not getting new shockers and jacking car up abit at same time!

[VLDavo]

not a great fan of the kit.....but u definatly need some rims to fill out the guards abit

[Jules86]

Bit iffy ive always found that they are too round for the vl, but like you said you like the curves...where as i don't, reminds me too much of the vs, which i don't like.

You'll want it to still be low but practicible, you get used to having to take up two lanes to get over a speed bump.

If they're 16's, 50 is a low profile for em, my mate has 215/60/16 and they look weird. I wouldn't go any higher than 18's on a vl, you cant carry the ppl, just urself if you still want it low.

Those tailights look good with that colour car too.

[craigvl038]

i think i will just get some new springs as it will end up cheeper and also i just got new tyres put on a month ago so that will be a waste of money gettin new rims.

[Bax]

Can't stand the kit.. But, each to their own.

[bangers]

get King Spring Lows in, that'll bring it up an inch. then when you have the money put 17s or 18s on to fill the guards and it'll raise the car up a bit more. i LOVE the side skirts.

[craigvl038]

well ive got the number from my springs and im gonna go to pedders tomorow and see if there lows or super lows

i was told from the repco guy to messure from the centre of the wheel to the guard and to have the specs of the wheels and the will be able to sort something out

if someone with 16's and lowered wonted to messure from the centre and tell me what they get and what springs they got that would be great (mine is 31cm from centre of wheel to guard)
