nice ride mate congrats and welcome to the forum

I like the kit! You just need to get the VX headlights with the pointy corners to fit your kit! Like these....

Then just get the VX calais rear tail lights and garnish and your ride would look awsome

Nice ride man, enjoy. Any plans to blow some coin on it?

Nice ride, welcome to JC

Nice car.

Yes new sound systems in VT's is imperative. My sound sucks and I play loud heavy metal in mine. It sounds so stale.

Well im thinking a muffler to make it sound a bit grunty, but not sure what to get or how to go about it! And definately new speakers! Im not sure which ones to get either, im only 17 and dont really have much of a budget, so maybe like max on $500-700 for speakers and a headunit?

Can you get mufflers that you can easily input a silencer into them? To make it sound real quiet like the stocky?

Anyway thanks for the warm welcome!

Just get a 2.5" cat back exhaust, your wasting your time just putting a muffler on. You can pick up a red back exhaust system for no more than $350 and it will sound beasty. I got a 2.5" pipe + hi performance muffler for $120 without fabrication from this guy: F/S: Exhaust Stainless Steel Pipe and cost me $80 at rex's exhaust to get it fitted/fabricated.

And $500-$700 on headunit + speakers you could do it. Though it is a tight budget.

Man dont mean to sound stupid...but urh what is Garnish? And does anybody have a picture of those VX Headlights?

Hmm what would be a estimated budget for a half decent setup then? (for stereo that is)

Thanks again!

Garnish = bootpanel. You could get a decent stereo for $700 mate to start off with, autobarn have a few good kenwood packs going on at the moment I think.

It depends what you want though, like 6x9's, splits, subs, amps ect. Do you want big bass?

At the moment ive got a older Kenwood H/U which is 4x45w i dont know if that is good or what. I was thinking Sub's in the back? I dont know anything about the car stereo setup's i will have to check out other peoples and see what i like best i guess. But yes i would like some decent Bass for my doof doof

And maybe some gizmo to plug my Ipod into it?

[Noy]

This is what I have:
Kenwood 50x4 mp3 - $130
Kenwood 350w 6x9's - $120
Kenwood 250w 6" 3way - $80 (on special)
Kenwood 12" 1000w sub $149
Monoblock $250
Kenwood 4 channel amp - $100 2nd hand off a mate

Which = $829 without wires/amp kits

And that is a fair budget setup which puts out a lot of bass and the sound is clear.

That was just to give you an idea

Sound like you should get an alpine or JVC headunit if you want to plug our ipod into it. You can pick up a JVC headunit with ipod connection stuff for around $200 and a set of 6" and 6X9" would set you back anymore than 400-$450.00 for decent ones.
Plus if you want to run 6X9"s in the parcle shelf then you will need some spacers as its illegal to cut holes in your parcle shelf to fit 6X9"s. (Ps i don't own a Vt so i don't know if they come stock with 6X9s in the back)

heres some Vx headlights and VX tails lights and boot garnish
