97 II VS Executive

Update:
Painted trolley strips the same colour as the car. Did a good job on the passenger side and an average job on the drivers side but it turned out ok.


Also finished painted my wheel hubs black which turned out better then i expected.

Just curious... How did you paint the black strip on the bumpers? and with the trolley strips, did you take them off with fishing line?

On the front and rear bumpers i just peeled them off because they are only just stickers, theres no glue or anything underneath them except for dirt. For the side strips i got the colour of my car mixed up at a holden dealership into a pressure can along with with a coat of clear. Then i just gave them a really good clean with a wax/grease remover, taped up just on top and just underneath the strips and sprayed away. I pulled off one of the front commodore strips and found it too hard to get the glue off so i painted that and stuck it back on. They looked a little weird when i first painted them because the rest of the car is a little faed but its come up good now

Thanks heaps for the compliments mate. Appreciate it. Thanks for the advice, the amp does get fairly warm but no more then it was just sitting loose in the boot before i mounted it. Im definately keeping a close eye on it though. If it is getting too hot its pretty easy to move and ill just mount it behind the seat on the right hand side.
Cheers mate!

Looks tops mate! Sub looks very tidy there.

Sounds great mate, im really happy with it. Ive got it in a sealed box so it sounds punchy and good for music with fast bass ect. Definately would recommend them to anyone

Small Update:
Installed a 2.5" redback exhaust and had the tips welded onto the new exhaust.
Replaced bonnet and boot gas struts
Put my mud guards back on because im sick of crap getting all over my car and also because ive been doing some driving over roads with some rocks over it.

[Vg-ute-mad]

lol!!!!.... Yeah as long as your happy!!!

It takes me three days as I'm involved in SQ comps. If it wasn't for comps, I would just give it a quick tune.

[VT97CALAIS]

I know it's an old thread, but i've got a VS this colour as well, so it's good to get some idea's that others have used on the same coloured car.
