    Intergraded Navigation and TV unit by Kenwood
    Playstation 2 install
    De-Badging of v6-ecotec badges.
    Engine and exhaust upgrades ( Dont know what just yet ) - Looking at a New intake and ditching that airbox and getting a 2.5" exhaust atm... any 1 have advice on what would sound good?

    I also like the skirts, suits the vx very well, whats it called? did it come with the car? do you know the name of the kit? Does it scrub at front when going down driveways etc?

    Nice looking vehicle none the less.

    Kit is a HBD = Holden By Design, could probably still pick it up from Holden parts as far as I'm aware

    New Photos coming soon.... Head-lights + Tail-lights installed and I've done some work in the boot
    When it stops raining for a few hours and when I don't have to work I'll get out and get some photos.
    Close ups of the kit are still coming for those who were interested...

    Had one in my bed room at the time of posting it.... I know its outdated.
    I'd probably go for a PS3 but they take up a fair bit of space.
    I'm sorta thinking not to bother at all because I'd doubt I'd play it.
