STRIPES mate. Put some stripes on it - guaranteed to make everyone think that it must be a great car that goes really fast.

You could just ebay a set of fe2 springs and shocks and set of s or ss mags. then change the tail lights and side indicators to the series 2.
that should be cheap and give a little increase in fun factor. But remember cars are money pits, you bought well for $4k, but it could have some issue that means you need to front up with another $1k for any old kind of repair...
keep some cash handy, just incase and don't go spending $5k on a $4k car that you will never get back!

If my Car was lowered, does it mean that it'd be a lot rougher when I'm driving?
Or does that have to do with the Suspension?
some1 fill me in thankyou

The springs are part of the suspension, and yes it will ride rougher than if standard height springs are in it. Depends on your perspective, some people like it, some don't. But it is a concession you have to make for having a lowered car.

Cheers mate 
As i stated far above, i recently got new springs put in the back. They are 'heavy duty' and have stopped my car from scraping when going in and out of my driveway lol. (marks all over the road and walk way from my tow bar adapter thing) I have noticed that with the old factory springs, my car actually looked lowered anyway...but that was only because it was sagging a fair bit 
Cheers,
Joe

If you just want a nice legal look. Then buy a set of 17 inch mags, as cheap as $1000 - $1500 will get you some nice ones with rubber. Then upgrade your suspension to the FE2 set up, its about an inch lower then standard and still very smooth and plenty of clearance and sits nicely. Dark tinted windows and still plenty of cash left from $5000 for stereo, small engine mods etc. Will look a treat

I am Joe's uncle(kid who made this thread with 'pink' VT), and this is me doing a burnout in my stock VU 5.7 Ute. At a drag, the only add on was a small nitrous bottle.

tbh i think 19's look fine :S
could do with a new bumper(to change the grill and get some fog lights :P)
and yeah i agree as stated above it'd look better with the black plastic along the bottom the same colour as the body
i'v got 17's on mine but they still fill the arches pretty well
