    hey man if you want more bass from your subs turn them around facing the back of the boot.

    you would think it would be the opposite but it reflects off the rear of the boot and sounds tonnes better.


    nice car btw. i like the seats look pretty mad. i almost bought some but found nicer ones


    again. when is it getting lowered.

    have a good one mate.

    yea im happy with the bass im getting now, not really after more.

    seats are just the factory stock ones that came out with this model, i like em but i still need to get a 1cm rip repaired though.

    i should hopefully have it lowered before c4c5 but ill see how i go.

    got new tyres on the VR yesterday to hold me till i get some rims in the next few months.

    not sure wether or not the calais v8 had the v8 badges or not since i seem to see a 50/50 split with some on and some off, so i'm not sure if they have been debadged or badges added but i wanted em so i chucked a pair on.



    picked these up today as well, just got to get the front and rear SS lips and ill be right to get em painted.

    I reckon dont put a kit on... but hey at least your only putting a small lip on it, not a clubby kit or anything.
    And personally i would completly debadge it, and the V8 badge looks crowded with the series 2 badge.
    The series 2 badge is MEGA ugly you should ditch that

    Will look good with the badges off. Nice extractors too! How much did they set you back?

    You've gotta get that thing lowered though. It's almost sitting as high as my stato!

    i like the badges on it, its a calais & its gonna show it

    i know i need to get it lowered, but considering the pacemakers as it is are hitting certain things, im getting the rest of the SS kit & the rims then lowering it so everything will sit right and i wont loose the front SS lip on the first excursion.

    Im painting the engine covers atm, ill see how that turns out.

    Nah man, race-spec CAI looks horn You LOVE it. Nothing classier than special order bunnings pipe and a half dozen cable ties. That's where it's at
