Sounds like a pretty sweet idea

I'll look into it

Dave.

Phat rims,drop it on its guts and it will be sweet.
How much the rims run you?.

**PORT3R** · 02-01-2009, 05:04 PM

$1775, with locknuts and falken tires

**Full Spectrum** · 02-01-2009, 05:19 PM

I never liked the SS VE rims on older commodores. But maybe because yours is silver they just look better and fit in better ?. Nice car mate good purchase.

How low can you go

.

I'm honestly 100% with you there. I was going to get VT sigs, but i saw these in the shop, and figured i would put these next to the car out of curiosity... and fell in love with them. I think its because the cars silver also... and maybe because they are half the price of the sigs

I'm gonna go low, but not too low, just enough to remove the gap between the guard and tire

(be getting that done later in jan)

**Full Spectrum** · 04-01-2009, 05:16 AM

Yeah i love the sigs also.. Silver is a great colour it fits in with so many things better. But half price is always good

.

Be looking forward to seeing a few mm choped off the height

.

**SSGEN-3** · 04-01-2009, 12:31 PM

Nice and clean first car mate.
I agree with hsvpunk, clear side indicators, tint and lowered will look good.
Then some of the series 2 tail lights (with the clear indicators) and maybe debadge it to smooth it off.

**James_yo7** · 04-01-2009, 12:54 PM

looks great dude.
few ideas for thigns to do:
clear side indicators
series 2 tail lights (gives the clear indicator part instead of the orange)
lowering it to your liking
even go as far as painting the black skirts, they will come up a treat in silver

good luck with the mods hopefully see you at the dandy cruise on the 18th

Edit: Oh and I'm gonna debadge it also, when i get the black skirts painted, to make it look smoother

I got mine from WheelKing in Moorabbin. They were really helpful and spent quite alot of time with me (as it was my first set of wheels i was buying, wanted to be 100%). Would recommend them to anyone.

Dave.

Thanks, and sorry I couldn't come... stuff came up lol. I'll be sure to come to the next cruise. I'm also thinking of selling the VT and getting a VS or VR

Been looking into it recently

Dave.

**PORT3R** · 05-03-2009, 03:17 PM

Decided i love the VT too much lol... I have been looking around for a nice pair of series 2 tail lights for around $80-$100 if anyone is selling also

Should be getting the new exhaust put in this weekend also (If my boss decides to pay me!)

Dave.

**666vt** · 05-03-2009, 03:29 PM

nice ride mate, i have a vt as well, done a bit to it check it out if you want. might give you some ideas for your car?

yeah lol theres a list of stuff to do to vt - vx's that almost every owner does.

de-badge
lower it, i have king springs superlows
clear side indicators
dark tint
paint mirrors, side back and front skirts body colour
exhaust with extractors / headers
k&n filter.

all that stuff is a good start mate. i love the rims by the way, look nice on a silver car.
series 2 tails will look nice, they always look clean.

**666vt** · 05-03-2009, 03:30 PM

just noticed you got it for $4000, jeez they are getting cheap =[
