nah mate, gear selector and eco button was off ebay. The ashie i did myself

[aussie_cruzin]

hey mate just wondering if you know the url for the eco button on ebay cant find it on there.

[-ToM-]

nah mate there is no url. The guy that does the selector offered me the eco button for $4 in pms. I dont think he advertises it. A person from my club emailed him from his advertisement for the selector about the eco button and he got it seperate. Im not sure how much he paid

[Cobez]

He doesn't have much stuff advertised on ebay at the moment. He used to have heaps.

Very Nice pics man.

Really holds well against the other red car

I just like a stock car haha.. well lowered with good rims.. but some body kits and setups are just overkill. Just my opinion but yeah.. yours look nice against "EVL5SPD"
