yeah but they are ute springs, they where put in about an hour before these where taken so they have to settle a bit, i wanted SSL but i got the springs for free. so ill take what i can get. and the car is on a slant so its going to look higher than normal

Fusion deck
I've got the ca-cd500... I didn't think i could live without my cd's, so the extra $ was worth it.

yeah, i like it, no need to have CD's floating around my car, and it looks sick too.

Yeah the screen is awesome. My only problem is i can't seem to get the dimmer working...
Also, good thing about the cd version is i have a motorised face plate :P

yeah mine dims but its not a big difference. cant go wrong with a motorised face plate not that pushing it it is to hard haha.

[Kurtp]

Hey with choosing rims i would say the second, only because ive had silver and black rims on my silver commodore and the blacks look heaps mean, though they dissapear without having some silver on them.
