    lookin at tha rear end pic, looks great debadged, nice n clean, but needs a nice exhaust tip n get rid of tha towbar to keep that cleaness goin

    as for taillights, i dont really no what tha different vx models have, ie: ss, clubsport calais lights? are they different to the acclaim, i reakon if htey are, just get a set of calais lights or sumthing, not monaro, too tacky

    First of all, remove the gas system....
    Nice set of wheels, lowered, monaro tail lights would look ok, stock ones rnt bad though.
    Half decent sounding exhaust and should be a nice first car

    Meh, don't bother with the Monaro tail lights, I'm sorry, but personally I think they only look good on the car they came from - the Monaro. Personally, I like the way the stock VX lights look. Or if you want something a bit different, go for VX Calais/Berlina lights/garnish, or, if you want, a VT Series II garnish/lights. (my personal favourite)

    sorry mate I only just saw this... thanks for the comments

    yeah i love the monaro lights. looks good at night too. have had nothing but positive comments on the street since i fitted them

    I just got the Kings Lows off ebay for $220 for the set of 4 and kept the standard shocks for now. rides good. depends on your driving style though. i don't drive (too) hard ..... but if you like cornering hard it might pay to go the shocks as well
