Installed replacement lighter in car today, also installed the centre console light (pretty sure calais & higher come with them).
Also washed and polished today, very very happy.

Increased negative cambar = bad tire wear = a flat tire = too much pressure by me tightening a bolt = a snapped stud...
All fun and games, just riding around on stockies ATM until I have enough to buy some decent tires and get a wheel alignment.
Cheat washed tonight.
Hopefully should have a sweet new mod when my tax money comes through!

I like the job you did with the rear lights...
Did you just spray the center trim the same colour as the car?

Yeah that's basically it, you can do 1 of 2 things...
1. Spray the VT garnish, which is what wrx884 did.
or
2. Buy a VX plain garnish and have it sprayed. I opted for this option as it meant I still had my boot garnish whilst it got sprayed. and also VX garnish doesnt have a boot lock.

Found a decent way to blow my tax money....
Thanks to the lad's @ OZ Spares - Victoria Road, Smithfield - 02 9609 3333
Wanted to get original monaro's but @ $320 a pop I just could not justify the cost! Considering that I want HID's to match the experience would have cost close to $900.
So as it stands, $275 for the pair of altezza headlight's, $170 for a set of H1 HID's & about 2hours worth of playing around....
I can't believe the MRS actually suggested I use my tax money for this!!.
Hopefully have it all installed by the cruise to Forster...

Cheers for that comments mate.
H1 is just the specific bulb type (normal vt headlights are H4, but these new 1s are H1...)
HID are normally used on a lot of top end cars, I know the Accord EURO & S2000's use them. Click here for the 'educated' explantion...
Basically they are alot brighter than normal globes & look sweet with the projecter lamps which the altezza lights have.
