    Thanks and yeah i am still getting used to them and well i love the wheel lol You can get the hard lids from your local Auto Barn store, just ask for a 3mm lazzor back lid for a vn to vs ute they cost about $1400 or $1600 Painted. They are quite expensive. Hope that helps

    A very nice looking machine EXCEPT the WHEELS ARE HORID, you need to get some tough looking mags not this chrome stuff. You will also see a gain with a proper CAI, scrap that OTR one and make a custom one that runs directly to the front bar, or get a scoop.

    thanks Mack but like i have said i got the wheels very cheep and mabey next year i a might get some custom wheels from budnik but they are very expensive around $5000 just for the rims so they might have to do for some time. There is no point chaing the CAI or front bar as i an putta V7 ysi charger on it in march next year so then it will be getting changed again. thanks again for your input.

    Very nice ute, love the engine bay and specs and interior looks schmick.
    Have to agree the wagon wheels on the chrome wheels, they make you look at the wheels instead of the car itself which is great as whole package without the wheels.
    Old school simmons would look tuff on a tuff ute.

    800rwhp would be very nice, good luck with the supercharging.
    Mine will be know where near that, hope for about 280-300 rwhp (200+ rwkw).
