cheers man and the gauges were my mates he bought them then didn't wont them so i bought all three for $20
i was just going to get them under the head unit basically just for looks haha , so all my blue dash lights and feet lighting will match the gauges when lit up.
Yeah the woodgrain im humming and haring about not to fussed on it , just bought meself for a sticker sayin "fat chicks make my car scrape" just for a laugh haha

Does this need to be done for led conversion? cos i did mine and the globes were green but i think the dash card was just white?

[GEN3RATD]

rears can be done yourself in 30mins with jackstands and tools. fronts are a bit harder

[Mattde]

oh wow! thats cools (yeh i know just about nothing) if i was to whack springs like the ones u have described into my rock stock VX would i need to replace anything else for them to sit right or whatever? ie. new shocks etc (i think i need some anyway)
