    Nice ss you've got there, I love the colour! Should look good with the 18's.
    When you put those black LED altezza tail lights on make sure you've got a vx boot garnish to put on straight away, having the altezza lights with the vt garnish doesn't look right I think.
    Otherwise just put some series 2 tail lights on with the clear indicators, they look much better then the series 1 lights, but I'm guessing you want the black altezza's so they match the black headlights.
    Good luck with her.

    looks mint mate. Im going to suggest a vt calais garnish and some vt series 2 tail lights. They will keep the vt look and much nicer imo

    What could be better, you get pulled over for doing a skid, the police offer a free adjustment, a couple of good whacks later, the reception is far clearer then ever before.
    Nothing like a bit of good old community service.


    Hell I used to love giving my TV a kicking when the picture went fuzzy, always worked a treat!

    Yesterday I put some new speaker in pioneer 6 ½ in the front and pioneer 6x9 in the back it sounds a lot better. I got some alloy door handles and new air vent with silver trim also order a Style dial in red and interior trim set custom crazer candy blue. Does anybody know where I can get a new leather steering wheel from? For a Vt SS holden want about $450 for one
