    Hey guys this is my SV6 I picked up 2nd hand 2 weeks ago and just got the springs and wheels done yesterday. Hoping the front springs sag a little. Pretty stoked with how it looks so far. Also want opinions on whether or not to leave the spoiler on or take it off, got a picture of both, Im thinking off.

    I have put SS badges and the kit on my VE Omega and when I go cruising and rev it past the girls.........well what can I say,they have drool running down their face.I chuck a U-turn and they say ''Nice car'' and I say ''It's an SS,jump in''.

    They rolled the rear guards just to be safe but dont really come near the guards...fair bit of clearance...only place i got slight rubbing with all 4 stock wheels in the back of the car (which is a bit of weight) was on the inside edge of the rear bumper where it joins the body in the wheel arch but they just buffed that back
    Get no rubbing normally...but i guess you could maybe compare the 4 stockers to maybe 2 people in the back

    Heres a couple of recent shots of the rear, debadged it all except for the Holden lion and with the spoiler off and Ive also got my exhaust done now. I think the rear tips are pretty classy but also stealth

    Nice ride man, VERY jealous lol, yeah looks way better without spoiler, and hope the front sags a bit too, looks like it needs to come down just that bit more.

    Awesome SV6 mate, love the colour and the wheels. Definately take the spoiler off. A mate of mine took his off (Black SV6) and it looks really good. Only prob is that you have to get the brake light in the window, which requires a rear windscreen change to make it legal. Either way it's still a nice looking car.

    Yea been trying to sort that out...actually saw a VY that had removed spoiler but had just put a universal LED in the rear without changing anything...might try that
