    About time mate, love the work you've done to it.
    The sssl's along with the de-spoilered look gives it a naughty look haha.
    How much was the neon interior job? DIY?

    Hey dude i like the vt!
    exhaust sounds awesome for a 6!
    Im a bit confused though, does anything go through the exhaust after the 'dump' at the wheels? the exhaust tip moving got me a bit confused haha

    Yeah thanks mate. As you saw from my exhaust section it took me a few goes to get the loudness and stuff i wanted lol. that dump pipe after the wheel (would have seen in the video) is a 90degree bent pipe that has been welded inbetween the original piping. The pipe does not continue to the end of the bodykit. That help?

    Reason for that dump pipe is the exhaust sounds a bit more central to the car and makes it a note deeper having that pipe end earlier

    the SSSL springs look epic on the back haha

    Lights inside were $30 a strip from supercheap and my uncle and i installed/wired it all up together to accessories and added a switch in the centre
    Pulsing lights are in cigarette lighter and cost $20 from supercheap.

    what Rhysdalegend said about the middle brake light

    Also i might re-wire it with a red led flexy strip or something, atm it isn't important.
    As for the grommets i just went to SUpercheap and asked to try some out adn they didnt mind a bit.

    Oi mate i see your in Hervey Bay. I got cousins up there and might be visiting one of the weekends coming. Might seeya on boat harbour drive =D haha love the car atmosphere up there man

    your insurance company probably won't cover your car if you are in an accident and don't have a third break light.
    so look out mate!

    My uncle and i did it all. Wires run under the centre of the car, just tucked under the body and up through the calais interior centre console light section (only plastic on non-calais commodores) to a switch They are wired up to the accessory wires.

    not at all mate. Just adding a wire to accessories, nothign against that, you sometimes need to do it for audio so you'd be fine

    Tail lights don't look half bad once the boot garnish got removed/painted. Only half though

    Looks good dude, good option removing the spoiler.
