    Heya vswgn_55, They're pretty snazzy and they're legal compared to the "completely clear" ones which are just factory ones with no colours. The Black ones would look good on your darker wagon (if that's the one in the pic). These are them here:

    VN VP VR VS Ute & Wagon Black Altezza Tail Lights - SET - eBay Exterior, Lights, Light Accessories, Car Accessories, Tuning, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 31-Dec-07 20:11:33 AEDST)

    Nick, Did the Level 3 Cluster Conversion and Fog Light Switch addon and upgraded the interior somewhat... Hood Lining is Next and the SS Fog Lights probably into the front bar. . Updated pic here:



    Just did a Power Antenna upgrade too which the buttons aren't in that pic.

    I got hold of a CAI for the engine, but at the moment I have to fix my vent fan and also put in a new fan resistor as well at the cow panel (common prob) but my vent fan motor is actually blown as well.

    Last update was the electric Power Antenna and I'm doing more to neaten up the amp wiring.

    I ordered 4 internal/spy-like cameras and 2 sdram style recorders capable of 4 channels each to give 8 channels of recording all up which is another direction I'm taking in the car.

    Also looking at some custom detailing later on and I'll probably end up re-doing this whole page as it's kind of all over the place.

    *Edit: I updated the post to include a mods section! Happy reading everybody

    Man, it's amazing how changing little things on a cars body can improve it so much. I'm definately getting the Altezza tail lights(was thinking of getting the clear basic tail lights but those look so much better) on mine and getting it tinted darker(mine is tinted but not much). Also, where did you pick up the venetians from? And how much?

    Thanks
