    hey buddy just lettin u know that if i were u i wouldnt use the magnetic plates, THEY ARE RETARDED, they damage ur paint, its happened to a mate of mine and im pretty sure it even states on the packet that prolonged usage may damage paintwork. anyways nice ute u got there, what are u planning to do with it? mod wise that is.

    Future Mods i reckon for my vs is a full exhaust system since it has the standard extractors and all so trying to see which exhaust has a nice tone to it before getting one or just cutting it at the diff (remove catback) hehe cheap way. also a nice Kenwood system hopefully. also nice ute VS S pack ur ute has a real nice stance to it

    exhausts the way to go i installed pacemakers on mine and they were well worth the money, mine came with a 3 inch catback without a rear resi n it drones heaps lol but still has a kinda nice note 2 it a high rpm lol, i wouldnt recommend cutting the exhaust at the diff coz im pretty sure thats illegal. cheers for the comment mate, r u talkin bout b4 or after it was lowered? coz i still want to go lower

    VS S pack: lower haha drop it on the guts haha. right now ur car a one of the nicest stance i rekcon my opinon though. also utes are allowed to cut exhaust just behind diff since it is well past the legal requirements of exhuast length.

    Also i have seen a lot of nice vs utes i just love them one day my ute is gonna out shine the Showtime/MOMO vs ute thats the blown v8 big block. hehe one day after i make more money

    hahah yea thats the only thing that shits me haha, wen i had ceptors on the rear the exhaust copped a bit of abuse from speed bumps no matter which angle or how fast u went at them. but yeah seriously mate if i were u id move that plate around often as keeping it in the same spot is wat destroys ur paintwork. were bouts u from anyways?

    Ute looks good mate. If it were mine i would get the front bumper painted to suit the rest of the ute. I reckon the bodykit looks really good. Are they 16" wheels on it? Got any interior pics?
    Go the VS utes...!! I love it when i see a new one pop up.
