My VT SII Acclaim

[Needsy]

No getting them removed altogether I hate the bloody things

[666-GMH]

Yeah true.
I Painted mine and they look okay. I pulled one off and the paint under it was sloppy as(like drip marks sort of) so i sikaflex'd it back on.
How long until she gets painted?

[Needsy]

Well I'm hoping cause the vt ones are thinner it won't be a problem and hopefully I'll get a bit of cash from Christmas to put towards it so about mid Jan it should be done. While it's there I'm thinking of getting the reflectors on the rear bumper shaved so it's one clean panel and my Holden badges sprayed gloss black.

Right got my body kit quote today from the same bloke that did my boot. It's going to set me back about $1000 and before you fall off your chair here's what he's doing for a grand. Fixing any bumps deep scratches ect on the body kit full respary with the same color matched color he used for the boot fully installing it removing the dog ugly trolly strips and painting my lion badges gloss black. So really not that bad. Also I asked him if he could shave the reflectors on the rear bumper for a bit extra and he said he could but I'd like some opinions on that first and if anyone has done it what it looks like.
Cheers Needsy.

[Needsy]

[Needsy]

having a cruise around tonight and i realized there was 2 lil mods i hadn't shown you guys

my cop spec dial face. km graduations at every 2km rather than the more common 5km graduations


after Phreddy came and did an awesome job with my dash i noticed there was still some scummy orange

so i decided to change that looks way better blue (not quite as dark as i'd like though)


Also gave it a wash so here's just a pretty pic of my baby

[Needsy]

wow thats nice, does it play dvds?

Damn that looks sexy as hell might have to save for a few more weeks and get that done. At this stage early Feb is looking like the date it will be done and sunroof will be installed around Easter.

[Needsy]

Well I know what I'm doing this weekend. Can of coke went and decided to explode inside my car while I was at work so I have to clean the entire interior. Not happy

body kit is getting done very soon just need a lil more coin lol

[Needsy]

Well the bloke that was gunna sell me the sunroof looks to have fallen through been over 2 months still no sign of it and all I'm getting off him is excuses or just dodging me entirely. Word of advice for everyone out there if you're looking for parts in eBay avoid a bloke called wrecker_king based out of Sydney.

Hey mate how did you go about changing the colour of the auto selector display thing to blue from orange?

[Needsy]

very involved process did it while i was putting in my leather shifter. when the shifter was out i removed the case around the shifter and underneath is the strip that moves back and forward and on that is the tab all you have to do is pop it out then sand off the orange. i used stained glass paint then after it dried i just put it all back together. putting the tab back in is a bit of an ordeal i did drop it a few times but i got it on and worth it in the long run. looks great with all the other blue

[666-GMH]

I've got that TSS with upgrade 3, but bolt in bags rather than drop ins.
Wouldn't do it any other way. it's so fast up and down, compressor refills the tank in a minute or so, easily hidden switches and it's a nice neat set up in the spare tyre well.

Cheers for the feedback. Just a few follow ups are the bolt in bags anymore $ and did you install it yourself or get it done professionally? I assume the tank can be set up anywhere else in the boot. I'm currently designing a boot install that will, in the future, accommodate for a bag set up and allow me to still access my spare
