    yeah its realy clean. the front bumpers badly stone chipped tho. well its not that bad its jsut that it stand out alot on the blacky/greeny paint.
    i was wondering if i should either just get the front bar resprayed and lower the whole car with superlows or if i should get a bodykit and not lower it asmuch? i think a body kit would look cool
    what do you think?

    nice car champ!
    paint is fairly cheap these days, a nice respray and she will be good as gold!
    i also took the liberty of putting up a pick of your car so everyone could see it easier

    no offence mate but i cant find a possible reason to spend 6000 on a paint job for a vs comodore. You may as well...

    a. buy a better commodore eg vt..vx...vy.. with the money from the car and the 6000 u would spend on paint

    or

    b. buy an awsome vs for about 8 grand with good paint already
