My 2001 VX Exectutive.

[Sharoo]

Hopefully in the future these will be the 'before' shots..lol




At the moment it's all stock except the wheels.
I plan on modding it visually first as I am still on my Ps and can't drive anything with power...

I have a few ideas on what I want to do but will always listen to your advice etc.

I Debadged it today (a suggestion from this site) and it came up really nice. I just kept the 2 Lions. Will post those pics later.

Before: the badges (photo is blurry as I borrowed my sisters camera)


After no badges:
Close up


Also pulled the dealership sticker off.

Not sure what I really want to do next... I want to paint the dash and other bits (like around air vents) but will wait until I have a new Cd player and subs and do it all in one go, I want to get it lowered, I am thinking about buying a body kit, I don't know where to start! So many different options. I might browse the forum for other cars and find cars I like.... lol

Looks nice mate. I reckon get an exhaust first, to get a better sound and performance, if you that type of person.

Maybe altezza chrome tail lights - will match the white theme of the car.

19's 20's and lowered would look nice as well

but cheapest thing which will look the best imo would be a darkest legal tint would set it of nicely

already looks sweet now tho, in very good nick.

Very clean, yeah get some real dark tint or maybe lower it on super lows.

[benjamino]

looks very straight mate nice job so far,,
id say some springs yeah or colour code the skirts and black strips?
exhaust is always good too..
lol its so hard when u start, so many things to do hahah

[Sharoo]

I need to get the back tint redone so I will see if they can do them all at once.
What type of exhaust is good? I have no idea..lol I had a VP commodore before this and wasn't fussed to do anything to it.
Where do you get those Altezza head/tail lights?
I Have started looking at new rims but I'm scared to buy something that doesn't suit the car...any suggestions?

[FINCH]

Just go a 2.5 inch catback exhaust, best place to find Altezza head/tail lights would probably just be ebay and rims just have a look around on some other cars and see what you like, look for wheels that would go with the colour sceme of your car. personally i fancy anything with dish lol.

are those shots taken at Tomakin by any chance?

rims will always cost you a fair bit..
depends where you go,
but for exhausts, go to ian diffen or somewhere like that, get a single 2.5inch catback exhaust(with extractors if you want a little extra power + fuel econ,) that whole setup will cost you around $900.
550 for extractors, and 350 for exhaust, last time i checked.

They are actually from Mossy Point; in the background of this pic (red car), you can see the tomo headland...(look up from the back wheel)

noooooooooooooooooo. don't put chrome taillights on. they look sheet.... do the dark red or black monaro taillights or even the stock monaro ones like mine. Go colour codeing first or lowering. I got my springs off ebay for $220 for all 4. good cheep mod. Check mine out for ideas if you like.....

good starting point
