    Don't run stockies on the back and get rid of the sticker on the windscreen.

    Also, this doesn't affect the looks, but lose the pod filter and get a CAI.

    +2 for sticker, change to a vn grill if you can or somthing else the vp grills are terrible, change to the standard rear lights they look better but thats just be my opionion. lower it a little if it isnt already and mabey some vr clubsport wheels?

    Looks pretty good to me, but like others have said, stockies on rear and clear tail lights not a good look IMHO


    Was thinking today when a VP caught my eye what would DRL LEDs look like behind clear grill

    VT clear side indicators, loose that fkn gay sticker, and either find two more stockies and paint all 4 silver, or get another two matching rims.

    all the above, i prefer the VP Garnish to the VN, a bobtail looks decent too.

    Really depends on what your willing to spend. I'd say for now it needs to be lower, clear oval indicators as someone mentioned and i myself am not a huge fan of euro lights.

    lower it a bit more(NO reverse rake), ss lip kit, paint the stock grille(works with the bumper over ANY other grille), nice clean set of wheels all round, non faded stock tail lights.

    im a fan of the clear lights as long as you keep the theme going with the clear side indicators as well, Id paint the grille and boot garnish body colour not black, and either get a set of silver stockies or another pair of the SSrims. and youve already taken the sticker off.

    Looks like someone has already gone through a bit of effort to make it look like a cheap boy racer vehicle. What do you consider shimck? in my opinion it should be reverted back to standard appearance so that you dont get pulled over by cops every friday/sat night. Its just a base model 3.8 and wont get street appeal even if you make it look like a GTS.

    agree with all comments. also those taillights might not look so bad if you could by a garnish to match it, but they dont exist so id go back to stock taillights... those clear frosted taillights dont match anything thats why they look gay
    dont sweat the petty... pet the sweaty...

    put the 2 back rims on ditch the stockies, lower it, leave the rims black they suit light coloured cars imo. looks ok will look better with 4 rims.

    if you want to make it look good put a VN front end on it. i reckon the VP looks like its wearing braces. and then ya can put a VNSS skirt all the way round.
