    Default doing up a vs, tell me what you think.

    hey guys im doing up a vs and would like to know what everyone thinks, and maybe some suggestions.

    whats going to be done,
    -all airbrushed (this is my job so its kinda a promotional car )
    -lowerd (getting it done tomorrow-19 august 08)
    -interior
    -some engine mods

    whats don already,
    -20 inch wheels
    -cat back exhaust - one redback muffler (sounds awsome for a v6, got a v8 tone)
    -airbrushed engine cover

    ps: gauges just placed there to see what it would look like :P ****n cops wont let me put them on.


    cheers guys.























    an idea of what the airbrushing will look like, knowing me ill change my mind by the end of the week :P

    hard to sorta get a good look at your car with all the darkness. remove the side protec. strips? lose the badges and chuck some clear indicators in it from the vx's or the vy's. maybe a slimmer number plate too.

    you can put your gauges on your bonnet but they have to be off to the left so they dont obstruct your view. car looks nice, need lowering but looks like youve got that covered. Goodluck with it

    The airbrush job on the engine cover looks intense man, is that what your planning to do with it for the rest of the car?

    Would love to see what the finished product looks like

    wow i love the airbrush work on the engine cover...any reason you have decided on the red /orange flames for the engine cover and blue for the outside of the car?
    Its not how fast you go...its how good you look doing it...

    Drop a V8 in it, then it would be sweet.

    That car is suited to a V8. It's dark and sinister looking. It would be a dissapointment to pop the bonnet and find a 3.8 Rattletec under the hood.

    Other than that, it looks wicked mate. I love that photo with the storm clouds above the car in black and white. You have some good camera skills there dude

    Lol, who told you that? You can drive a couple of V8's. Do some research on power to weight ratios. 125kw / per square tonne in the legal limit for green P platers in Victoria. Anything over that is classed as a "high powered vehicle".

    I hate LPG. I have seen maybe 2 or 3 wicked cars on LPG, but they were gas injection, duel fuel is absoloute crap. If you are gonna buy a V8 and put it on duel fuel, you may as well keep driving a V6 on petrol.
