    Always a really nice clean example of a sweet car, ya vp is really nice mate and when ya get the funds for some superlows and 17's it would finish off the job bloddy nice. Wouldn't really worry so much about a high flow cat id be more in the direction of a momo or issotta sports wheel mate, ya would appreciate it alot more and use it,see it and really make u wanna drive the car 2 its potential. Really makes the interior. Ya can get an idea as 2 which one check out motoquipe west lakes

    Yeah, i had to bail and get back to work, i was parked next to DIABLO, the red VR while i was there, my paint is baaaad, but rims and ride height do it a small favour. You may have seen me leave dark blue VN, but next cruise, ill be there

    thanks all of ya.

    mikesvt, i think crome handles are the way to go as they stand out on dar cars. body coloured handles would look the same as the stock ones on mine. lol

    vn2nv, the arches will go on as soon as i can find the brackets. ive been quoted $110 for them but they also come with the plastic bit which i dont need.

    Cheers flyen_vn, i agree with you though dark commies rock but the sun does have different ideas.

    i was thinking about making my own but i cant fond any original ones to base mine off of. $110 is the cheapest so far for them. not many places want to split with these cheaply
