Yeah they just look funny with the SS badge on the door. I am seeing more and more cars with the front/back bottom lips and side skirts and it does tempt me to go the same way with my calais.

I dunno where to take pics just go hunt around places like train stations, industrial estates undercover shopping center carparks tend to do ok sometimes.

You need to narrow down where you are... Melbournes a big place.

and maybe oneday rear airbags.
as for the engine i wana stroke the bottom end and c.o.m.e TTB. ive been quoted 6000 off them to bottem end stroker and fully tuned with TTB and few other things.
