Nice car dude. Wheels tie in well with the white body and black tint.
Personally Id stick with the VT garnish, but for the love of god if you want the VX look please do it properly and paint the garnish body colour. lol. And get proper VX lights. Not to horrible chrome altezza's.
Oh god I would never let myself keep the VT garnish with VX lights lol. My mate has a VX garnish he can sell me but my dad paints cars for a living, so painting the VT garnish lets me keep the keyhole and save a little $$$ but will the finish be the same as painting a proper VX garnish?
I'd rather cop a swift kick to the face then put chrome/white/clear Altezzas on my baby. Although I don't mind these

Yeah Ive seen a few painted VT garnish's painted and they came up perfect. And as u said u get to keep the keyhole. Yeah those are monaro styled ones which can look decent. Pet hate of mine is the chrome ones. lol
Plates arrived today
Got a question, ebay has SL king springs and munroe shock/strut stuff package for $645 including delivery and I got a quote from autobarn saying they can do it for $700, should I be able to get them cheaper anywhere else? I actually need new shocks because the old ones are screwed.
Couple more :P The VT rear end is looking pretty sweet at the moment.
Sorry for Iphone quality
And her little home

Picked up this for $45, not sure if I even want it or not..

Garnish fits and is being painted next week, just waiting on the rear shocks and then she will be lowered

Looking very clean! You will never look back when you switch to the VX tail lights.
I want to try and stick to the black and white theme I have going, so definitely keen on black altezzas or even the genuine dark monaro ones
last pic looks mint... loved to see side on with new springs in it
Springs will be in on Mondayso I will have a tone more pics up then
sweet as.. u just going with the 1 size spring all round? i got same rims in 20's but thinking superlows for rear and lows in the front...
Yeah just sl's all round, expect lots of pictures
Nice first car that picture in the car wash looks sooo white
Looks good mate, don't mind those taillights on your car; suits it well.. Post some more, recent pics up.
Cheers
Couple of quick pics of the SLs in the car, I will get better photos when I find some time

Yeah mate I am planning on starting the interior after I get my monaro bonnet on. Only problem is that she came with a shitty grey creamy colored interior that I had never seen it before, I liked it because it was different. Now I can't match a ####ing thing to it! Might of scored a complete SS interior off a mate for $400 though![]()
