Looks good and sounds good.

I can't enlarge the pictures are they just small?

[VL Soldier]

Sorry mate, I'll repost them and see what happens...

[IanG]

Cool. If you have any trouble resizing or posting pics let me know.

B E A UUUtiful!! Gotta love em!

[zoom]

looks neat, and clean

[VL Soldier]

Drove around looking for a good place to take some better pics today before it got too dark and the rain hit. Some of them are a bit grainy because of the time of day but I think they look better than the first lot...

[253@7k]

looks great mate, clean and nice. i believe the 3800 has alot of potential in the right hands..

[Pete284]

nice, how many clicks has it done. and how much did your CAI set you back, and is it genuine?

[VL Soldier]

Thanks guys. It's done 155k Pete. I whacked the CAI on over Easter. Got all the parts from Bay City Holden in Frankston (so it's genuine)- they came to around $68 from memory. That's with the rivets. It's cheaper to buy on eBay but I was keen to put it on and didn't wanna wait for it to come in the mail. If you look in the part numbers thread it will give you all the nos which makes it easier for the Holden dude to look it up. There's another thread on here somewhere detailing how to install it but it's pretty self-explanatory. The most difficult thing is cutting the bottom of the airbox to size (easily done with an electric jigsaw) as you don't want to go too big. If you (or anyone else) is thinking of doing it then drop me a message and I'll help you out.

Ahh the philix mobile, that car is in awesome knick mate great pickup! If you can get the spoiler removed it will be looking even more schmick.

Good luck for the future with it!

[VL Soldier]

Yeah, I've always liked the look of the ass end of a lowered VS (w/o spoiler). I bought it because of the great condition it was in and at the time I didn't think the spoiler looked too bad. The dark colour and wheels add to the look. Probably won't do anything about it for a while - got some more important mods (re: headers) to line up first!

[stocky]

looks good. i like the wheels. spoiler suits it

[MAT87M]

looks good mate its nice and neat and the rims suit the line of the vs. well done keep it up

Dunno mate, they were on the car when I got them. They're pretty bright (I haven't hit a tree yet so they do the job!) and I think they retail for upwards of $50 a globe, depending on where you buy them from.
