    Smile My 1997 VT Executive =Ex-Cop=

    Hi guys...new here. Just thought i would post the pics of my stock-bought VT. Here are some before and after pics. I only have one after i bought it, and in that pic i have whacked on VY Senator 19" rims. It is getting lowered on Saturday morning, and have agreed to go SL all round. Will that lower it enough? Im conflicted on what to choose; L, SL, or SSL. any suggestions?

    NOTE>>>>> FOUND OUT TODAY FROM HOLDEN THAT MY CAR IS COP. IS THAT A GOOD THING??<<<<<


    Before:




    With Senators..

    Nice looking canvas there mate
    SL's will go very nicely, aswell as Lows. Some find that SSL are just a bit impractical (not to mention illegal on a VT)

    Goodluck for future mods

    Not too bad there mate!

    Needs a pair of series2 tail lights (clear indicator) and clear side indicators.

    I'm picking up my monaro tail lights tomorrow, and I'll be selling my old series 2 lights if you want to buy them. Where about in Vic are you btw?

    sure I read a thread somewhere about DIY SII tailights where you basically just remove the original bit from your tailights....

    Sorry fellas...been on a work convention!

    Yeah...superlows. I didn't get a camber kit, the guy said to see how she sits before we do one. I dunno if I'll get one.

    I just bought a JVC DVD headunit for 400 doallrs. that'll go in as soon as i get it in the post.

    Buying Dave's Series II tailights, so they will go on soon.

    I happy with how she is going. Will keep you all posted on further mods!

    Thanks for the comments...
