    yeah im not sure yet. Its either i spend the money on this ute or i buy a black Vu ute when i save a bit.
    If i was to do anything it would be paint bumpers, complete new audio, hard cover and get lower springs in the back because it sits too high on the back.

    Looks good mate, i reckon you should paint the mirrors and door handles as well and chuck a nice hard lid on it. Love the wheels, the VY SS rims always look good on the VS utes.

    Thanks peeps, yeah in the future ill def get a slim hard lid... I didn't think anyone would notice the door mirrors but ill see about them.... :P
    I think the front springs are fair low atm the wheels sit in the arch perfectly but the back springs are as high as a hung moose can get.
    Yes these wheels are my fav well vy sigs come close but these are good for my ute
    Oh and today i went into "Motowork" and had a look at some slim subs to fit in the cabin. I fell in love with this pioneer SLIM301S4 that pumped and owned all subs in the store... I got a quote and that sub with an amp plus installation= $728
    Im not sure about this price so you guys got any subs in ur Utes? How much should i be paying? this would help muchly.
    oh and i just thought that I'd add a pic of the sub:

    as said before it really is amazing how much the colour coded bumpers neaten up your ute.
    love the vy ss rim's, any vs seems to be able to pull them off.
    great ute mate, can't wait to see progress.
