    put $50 away each week for a year.

    $2500 will get you rims, lowered and a catback exhaust. Other than that you need BIG money to make your vx v6 go fast
    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    Nothing says tuff like a body kit and rims. And back that up with exhaust and some little fine performance upgrades, Like Roller rockers T/B, And if the guys at Raptor do it, Their throttle body system is good for 20rwkw. Can't complain.

    to be quite honest, don't try to make your v6 go fast, just make it look tough, by the time you have put enough money in the car to make it go decently fast you may as well have just bought a V8.

    personaly id like something like this VE CLUBSPORT BODY KIT TO FIT VT VX - eBay Body Kits, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 14-Mar-09 19:58:12 AEDST) but dont buy something like this on ebay (ive heard bad things like parts not fitting together and holes in different spots etc)

    Here is my dash facia.Just search the forum for a guide on how to do it.The paint i used was from Autobahn called VHT vinyl paint.You also need to rub back facia with wet and dry and use a paint primer before applying the vinyl dye and then put a clear coat on last.
