Coz the garnish is gettin painted at the same time wen the body kit gets painted (just work in progress i know it looks silly hahaha) but not gettin a VX garnish i rekon they look..... i dunno not right with the number plate the VT garnish seems 2 have more shape 2 it n suits it better then as soon as the kits on im puttin some HM headers on and an exhaust then after that it will b lowered not much tho coz the front bars pretty low mayb an inch i think?

yeh part number is HM8SS and i rang h&m and they said that that part is for all manual and auto sedans, wagons and utes from vt-vy....so yeh they should fit....um that $430 is including freight to my work....which is supercheap balcatta...i think cost is $380 so there isn't much markup in it...not sure on the gaskets and stuff though aven't checked it out in more detail yet.

so ave u paid for those other ones?

cheers mate

Na not yet man waiting ona reply from them about the gaskets, i read in the VS thread that some1 didnt get em n claim coz they r machined smooth they rnt needed but i dunno doesnt sound right and the bloke whos gonnna do my exhaust strickly asked if it came with gaskets 4 the headers and the flange part so if u can let me know wat ur deal cums with i might scrap his deal n go 4 urs if u can get back in time b4 he does? tho im in no rush 4 em but 4 the deal with him i gotta get em soon b4 it no longer applies uno?

ok rang H&M today....the bloke said that these dont need gaskets and u can just reuse the shim gasket already on ur car or use sum maniseal on it...apparently they are laser cut and they dont require any special gaskets....however the headers do come wid sum gaskets for the exhaust flange for the pipe headin towards the cat.

so yeh no gasket needed just reuse ur old one or ditch the old gasket and use maniseal

cheers mate

um but yeh if u cant wait that long i can maybe try work sumthin out....
