    Mad car mate especially for a 1st car!!
    Rims would look the goods
    lowering
    remove factory tint and replace with 20% or less
    replacing the steering wheel with a sports one is also good!
    possibly look for some statesman/calais woodgrain to throw @ it?
    That should give ya a start

    thanks lol sound like good ideas, it has 150,XXX kms on it lol drives great but should have had a bit more $$ saved lol got non for fuel atm which sucks hahaha. i plan to give it to my friend (pannel beater/ painter) to give it a full touch up buff and remove those stupid black things on the side. tomorrow another friend is comming up to help me put a bigger exhaust on or something show me a way to make it louder lol, then will get it lowered but what should i get it lowered on i dont want it to low as i live in bush lands llol and was thinking of putting some 16s on it for now and then getting some 18s later on.

    hey mate, about the lukey exhaust i ordered one in from supercheap for around $250 and took 1 day to come in...
    but if u decided to order one there make sure you DONT get the rear resonator which was my mistake as its quiet as **** when u first get it...i thought it was alot smaller as they showed in the catalogue but its still pretty big. get a hotdog or just a straight pipe at the rear instead..

    umm at the time i did it i was a bit of a cheaps ass so i just used mums primer she had been useing on the kitchen doors lol its a primer for plastics and **** but because i painted it on there it shows a few brush strocks when i d it again i will use spray plastic primer and paint. i suggest giving it a really good hard clean with grease and grime remover or as i used tile and laminate cleaner works really well and is cheap.

    to jack the back of your car up enough you should be able to do it as well if you got a mate helping you just for lining **** up etc...and make sure you DONT get the rear resonator ! lol
