    In the pipeline atm is RGB strip lighting not sure where yet probably replace footwells and put in boot, has remote control to select colour or let be controlled by the beat of the music! Should have the gear to do this in a week..

    i've got basically the same car as you and i picked up a cheap set of 17" VT SS rims for 250
    just to give you an idea of the size and how they'll look before you lower the car
    i know they don't look the best or anything, but they're cheap and gives the car a tougher look
    purrrrrr

    Got a few new addition to last time some minor some a bit bigger so here we go..

    Sound system is now adaquate as I have Sony 6.5" all round (components in front, standard coaxial ones in rears), My sony amp which is actually managing to power my Kenwood 12 inch sub and the piece de resistance a Sony Headunit that kicks the shit off the last one- now have aux and ipod input as well as the choice of 35,000 colours :P Usually chills on blue though to match interior although red goes alright too.. Proved to be a real BITCH to install the headunit as my rear outputs would not fit because of a metal plate limiting the amount of space as part of the car. So had to get mini angle grinder into the small gap and grind away the metal making sure not to get the heater unit! Eventually finished at 2am

    The Headunit


    Sub/Amp + Untidy Boot so only showing up close


    Then got this fair cool sticker I just chucked up on the passenger airbag spot


    And then 2 new additions here the Volcom sticker and finally GREEN P's!

    Should post a pic of your sunglasses holder?
    I'd be interested in doing it but no idea where to wire the lights and shit up too.
    Also, i'd shit my pants cutting into my roof lining.

    IMO remove ALL badging except for front and rear holden lions ( get some fishing line polish and prepsol/wax and grease remover and patiance) remove trolley strips (same process as badges) and slam it on its hole man u can pick up some sl/sssl springs pretty cheap dude
    wheel gap is like a vagina the more fingers you can get in the worse it is
    Built not Brought
    and
    Driven not Garaged

    Alright mate will chuck a pic up of it later cbf going out to the car right now , was a bit of a bitch fitting it as was slow process so as to not cut roof too much and then wiring it up but I managed to do it and I have zero experience with this sort of stuff. I have fitted everything to the car by myself with no experience all a good learning curve.

    yer I reckon debadging should be the next thing to happen as is cheap and neatens up the car lots will hvae to get onto that next!

    Sounds good man.
    Debadging really is a perfect mod, I did mine one day before work, fishing line, water and a rag.

    Well the car is now debadged and I have swapped over the led's that were previously in the footwells with the RGB Led strips which I can choose tons of colours on a remote or do like a strobe function to the music which is amazing (I know many will disagree but its my car ay).. dunno what else to do really with lil money... spose could do black headlights... oh yer also have changed over headlight globes to Phillips 100% X-Treme Vision

    Time for some much needed updates.. not much but work in progres alright :P

    Painted the suround inside the cluster satin silver, removed orange from the needles in cluster, made the thingamajigs that hold needles on satin silver as well, looking very sleek if i must say so..

    Also another BASTARD of a job was sanding the green off the back of my dash while I was at it which has now made the blue lighting much more even across the dash..

    Tomorrow will be reorganising the amp as to how its setup and change up my leds in boot..

    Need some cheap mods

    What you reckon about the painting headlights black over the chrome?
