paint those black strips and your mirrors the colour of the car
Shiftkit

Cheers,

I have the FE2 kit sitting at home, just need the time to install it
I will be removing the mudguards when I get some new rims

Just curious, but can you get chrome exterior mirrors & grill to suit?

I can pick up a 2.5" centre and rear sports muffler and piping and a tip for a little over $200 brand new, is that decent pricing?

Thanks, Brendan

Ebay will be the best bet for the chrome stuff. i know mine is a vt but is this the sort of thing you want?



$200 is a good price if you can fit it yoursef its even better. The FE2 shocks will be good but dont use the springs becuase they wont be low enough

[dzire]

I don't particularly want to go eBay... Last time i bought off there i lost money in the process -.- at the moment I'm looking at getting a towbar for some jobs that need requiring around the house, so I don't want to go too low for starters, 6 months down the track I'll definitely be getting it lowered to the same as yours. Did you need to get shorter shocks at all?

[nicko]

nah i just kept the standard shockers, it still goes well thru the hills with them. has 30mm sway bars and a strut brace also they are good mods if you like some white knuckle hills stuff.

[dzire]

Cheers, will hopefully be getting it lowered within the next couple of weeks when I get my tax return =D

Ordered some Monaro Taillights during the week, arrived yesterday so I thought I'd try installing them, turned out more work than i expected but I eventually got there. Had to make minor modifications to the socket where the spigot bush for the taillight harnesses go through. The after market socket was a little bit bigger so I had to file away at the hole, anyone else have this problem? Anyway heres a few pictures, feel free to post your opinion =)

Thanks, Brendan

HArd?

mine where a direct swap...... no modifications needed at all.

you wanted chrome why go the ulgy monaro leds style lights? chrome altezza ones would have been way better IMO

Chrome altezza ones are way more ugly. Genuine are way way better IMO

They're the shadow chrome ones... little darker but they look much better in real life. I prefer LED over normal bulbs, but that's just my personal choice.

Hey all, I think it's about time I updated this thread =)

Have done a few more things since i last posted in my thread, the list is as follows =D

1. Pioneer 220w splits up front
2. Debadged her
3. Removed the mudflaps
4. Green LED neons in the footwell
5. 16" VY S Pac rims (picked them up cheap as)
6. VX SS grille
7. 2.5" Catback lukey exh system

I do have some photo's, but my camera isn't all that great, so I'll post what I've got and take some nice ones at a later date =)

don't normally like the chrome/shadow chrom altezza's but they suite the colour well.

It's amazing how something like grils can completely change the look of a car!
