    As it is I would just lower it and cruise.. If 18's are the go then lower it and tint windows.. How much $$ did you wanna spend or time to do it?

    Have to say I can't stand VN's but if I had to have one the it would be a SS or a Berlina. The POV pack just look cheap and nasty.

    Don't worry about what it looks like, if you end up finding a cop chip people won't see it for long enough to know what sort of condition the paint was in

    why say something like that we dont all have heaps of money to go out and buy a car worth thousands of dollars. he put it up for tips to make it look better not for people to say to scrap it. so if you dont have positive opinion dont say it.



    i think you are on the right track to makiong a good street cruiser rk
    ss kit would look sweet i think
    my first car is a holden and i will die with a holden
