How can i make it sporty?
Hey People,
Here is my 98 VT Executive which i've had for 2 months now i think. I got it for 4000 and it's in really good condition. I have just put a sports exhaust on it but what else do you recommend to make this commodore look really nice?
keep in mind as you can see in the pic's I'm a P driver 
If u can give me a rough price of how much it'd cost that'd be great

Old mans colour....but a good price. A blank canvas so your imagination is the only barrier.

haha cheers mate, will do How much would that cost though u reckon, being 'cheap' and all lol?
What is the name of the colour of my car though. People tend to call it pink...which disturbs me because i really don't think it is pink >.<
And neither should you!
I was thinking of getting a spoiler...though i think that may really not suit it since it isn't lowered or got mags.
cheers,
Joe

LOL don't do what he said, people who drive around with stockies on the rears of their cars are complete wankers, and the cops will pull you over and bust your ass quicker than you can say "hoon"
Get yourself some 18" or 19" rims, get those on, drop into a suspension place, look at getting her lowered AFTER you have the rims on.
If you want to spend a bit of cash, pick yourself up a bodykit and have it all painted and fitted.

Pretty much. "Sports exhausts" sound lame on V6's anyway with a set of decent extractors. They sound tinny and droney.
As said by DVSV8, rims, and then drop it low. That should keep you happy for a while until the power bug bites
(Hate to be picky lol, but don't use the word "sporty" it sounds like you are talking about a Barina or an Excel lol  ). I still can't see how people think a spoiler, or rims etc can make a car look "sporty". There is nothing sports like about car mods. Unless people are talking about motorsport. Whack on some stickers of people playing basketball or cricket and you will have a sporty car
But back on topic, wheels and lower it first off!

Rims, dump it and tint... then a CAI and higher ratio RR... that should wrap under 5G no worries and it's looks nice...
Ohh.... don't put a kit on it... jst get some deep dish rims and dump it... it'll look tuff..
Good luck...
