My new wheels on my VT

**JoeFish** · 14-10-2009, 10:44 AM

Hey guys,

Just thought i'd post up a photo of my car with the new mags and tires i got for an extremely low price. They are all brand new and got under $900

Tell me what you think

Just took front mud guards off, will take rear ones off when I get time (gotta Jack car up)

I think he meant FE2 springs, they are basically holdens sport springs, they are about 30mm lower than stock i think. i have them on my car

**JoeFish** · 19-10-2009, 02:57 PM

ahhh ok cool.
yeah was thinking of geting SL Kingsprings at rear and L Kingsprings at front.

**clint0991** · 19-10-2009, 10:00 PM

hey bro cool looking rims definatly need to be droped on its knees
i did a lot reseach into what springs to get when i got mine done and i rekon ur better off sl's all round if ur car doesn't have a body kit...
check out my car in my sig if u wanna see what kings sl's all round looks like.

peace

**JoeFish** · 19-10-2009, 11:30 PM

cheers mate,
yeah you have urs at a nice height!

BTW, what level of tinting is your windows?
I want to get mine the darkest legally allowed (to be on the safe side)

**clint0991** · 20-10-2009, 12:11 AM

the tint on my car is still stock however ive been looking to replace it. i havn't really looked into it too much yet but i got a friend that works at tint a car and the midnight express is the most u can go legaly i cant remember what % he said it was but... but he said if i pay an extra 50$ cash he'll put limo tint on it lol

**JoeFish** · 20-10-2009, 03:24 PM

haha yeah. There is some1 on the sunshine Coast who will put level 20 on it (which is close to if not IS limo tint) for $390 (done at ur house)

But i got a quote from Tint a Car and since i've already got tinting on mine, it'd cost $350

I wonna get it darker then the legal tint but I don't wonna risk it...

**Adriianz** · 20-10-2009, 04:38 PM

good base, good potential, start with indicators, any remaining badges, springs, then id go tint/exhaust

good luck.

**JoeFish** · 20-10-2009, 08:04 PM

lol why is it that ppl hate the orange indicators? Or is it just a trend that has started and everyone feels like they gotta get in the bandwagon and do the same lol.

I like my Commodore badges

Proud to show'em!

**the4finger** · 20-10-2009, 08:13 PM

the clear ones do look much better mate. i had the orange one for 2 years and just put the clear ones on a week ago or so and i love them. got them from an auto wreckers for 10 bucks =D

**98VTExec** · 20-10-2009, 08:16 PM

must also support in the showing off of commodore badges, proud as hell 2 wear them, especially over those chevy 1's :P

**JoeFish** · 20-10-2009, 08:26 PM

I am still confuses as to why ppl put on the Chevy badges...like i know GM makes chevy's...but where is the Holden Spirit? that just gives ford fans another way of ripping holden drivers

so yeah you say indicators....you mean the rear ones, not just the slide ones...?

**the4finger** · 20-10-2009, 08:27 PM

well i have the altezza monaro lights on the rear aswell. but i was referring to the side ones. the clear just looks nicer i think

it's all personal prefernece though mate.

just hit up an auto wrecker and get a cheap set and give them a try

**JoeFish** · 20-10-2009, 08:29 PM

yeah man i will hey! My mate is a good friend of the owner of one where i live, will hit him up!

Easy to take off and put on?

**the4finger** · 20-10-2009, 08:33 PM

the easiest thing you could ever take off on a car. just put your nails under the rubber and push it towards the front of the car then pull up while holding pressure towards the front of the car. it's just held in there by pressure.

**JoeFish** · 20-10-2009, 08:34 PM

hahah awesome man. Thanks

**the4finger** · 20-10-2009, 08:47 PM

no worries. hope it works out for ya

Yeah they are roughly about an inch lower than normal springs. They are the equivalent of King's Lows.

Go super low all round. Lows are just not low at all on a car with a stock body kit.

They just look a lot cleaner. They are easy to do, usually just pop out of the guard.
