    nice car man, looks really clean, i got midnight express from tint a car in geelong for $340-$345 and about the same for a 2.5 redback cat back exhaust from johnny macs on the port highway there, i guess your around Geelong, is that the you yangs in the back ground? those wheels would look good on, darker wheels on silver look good and lower to what you want, im yet to lower mine. hope it works out for you.

    haha yeh thought so, yeh i wasn't sure either but ended up getting midnight express which is their darkest im pretty sure, They were good, pretty helpful, he showed me his car with midnight express so i ended up getting it and when i had it done it only took 2-3 hours so i went into town while i waited but i only went there because i didn't know who else did tinting in geelong. take a look at my car if you want an idea.

    they have an Octane tint which is the darkest legal tint, could look alright on the silver

    hey, cant get any new pics up here yet camera usb wont work.
    anyway im looking at getting wheels now, just cant decide between 19" VE SSV's or 19" Series 2 VE SSV (Wheels) have never seen the series 2 ssv's on a silver VX before so i have no idea if they'd look better then the series 1 SSV's or not, and there are no decent pics on google to photoshop with, after the wheels are on ill probably go with superlows and then ill get rid of the spoiler and have it welded/resprayed

    I'd be keen on seeing this with the Series 2 SSV's.
    I was thinking about them for a long time before i chose my current rollers.
    Would look really nice on a silver car i think.

    super sports and SSV's look so good on older commodores but they are just so over used by everyone.

    and when ever people try something new they just get flamed by the commo community, mainly all the #### wits on SC.

    its pretty hard to be "diffrent" in the commodores scene dude there isnt much that hasnt been done and IMO who gives a f**k if anyone else has the same wheels and sh*t if the person who has them likes them whats it matter if everyone else has them

    as good as it looks i dont think i would want to go that low, would piss me off scraping every speed hump there is, i was thinking just superlows or something, also to get the car to sit level would i go ssl's on rear and sl's on front? or the same all round

    just take the rear springs out and put the front on sssl's
    you have about 2.5cm clerance with no bumpstops..
    mine did a lap of the block like that, then sat for 2 weeks and waited for ssss's? rear's.. ah! looks good in my oppinion..
    and you wont scrub rear still with stock wheels..

    im pulling you leg with the no springs bud, the ride is horrid, and is not good for the car i would presume..

    realy its how low your willing to go / take bumps slower / angled

    i only ever scraped on one bigggg speadbump with SSSL Compressed rear - no bumpstops and SSSL front
