hmm not to sure on your fibreglass work looks a little out of place on the front end.

but prove me wrong and hopefully the finished product looks good.

Cheers.

NO NO NO not the VX lights and VX SS garnish i like the VT's back end skulls on roof linning i like keep us updated what coulor are you painting it ?

[troykinsvt]

fibreglassing is pretty spot on , just gotta sand it back smooth primer it (to check any in accuracies) and then get her painted
colour scheme for the missus <3 is indigo/violet purple but (heres the fun part) before the glos/clear coats go on she wants bright green skulls airbrushed along the bottom say a foot high all the way around , did a bit of fotoshop (#7 i think ) work and got a preview looks pretty decent and as for the taillights and vx garnish i think it gives it a more "PHAT" stance if you look close on the garnish top of the right tail light you can see where i still need to sand , not to mention the rear pillar is also half glassed over, next inline is getting the wheel arches done properly (need a di-grinder ) bit hard with an orbital. and guards need to be rolled cause the 19 have a nice and sh#t offset to scrub

[VT_SS]

Well each to thier own i say, i am just not a big fan of the altezza lights and VX garnish but keep us updated. It would be good to see how it turns out and on secound thoughts about the skulls unless you are planning to keep the car forever it is going to limit your resale.

cant get much more the 4g for a commy these days anyway

[GR3GA]

what happens when you gotta take the front bumper off?

[troykinsvt]

shouldnt need to ... theres no intercooler behind it

[FORGIVEME]

I would advise against fiberglassing the kit on iF the front bar or skirts or rear bar get damaged its goin to be a nightmare to fix/replace

Nice car mate

[VT_SS]

cant get much more the 4g for a commy these days anyway

Hmmm i will leave the 4g comment alone for now is this a V8 or 6 ?

[troykinsvt]

standard v6 ecotec series 1 , with 185xxx ks ... will have molded bodykit and wicked spray job and sound system , honestly i wont pay anymore then 4g for it ...
as for if the kit gets damaged cut it off sand the body back smooth and re-do it , alls fun , im a carefull driver with my pride and join so im not gonna be a wanker a crash , and if someone else hits me its their insurance thats paying for it
