Dijm8's VZ SS **Now with LS3**

[dijm8]

hopefully next year
this year i gotta focus on the rest of the drive-line to make it more safer etc to handle this extra power

[Gus]

following this thread as im thinking of doing the same to mine when im off my provisionals.

[dijm8]

good to know Gus yeh its a much better engine base to work off instead of the ls1, got alot of potential

[Gus]

i was thinking of dropping an ls3 into this but then that got me to thinking should i just sell this and buy a vz ss which gives me the choice of a different colour (if i want) + a manual (or a better automatic) and also all the ss bits and pieces.
so many different options but one thing im certain of is if i'm staying commodore then im staying with the Z series Best looking series in my opinion.

- also, i've cleared up my inbox so in regards to price for this setup you can send it to me now and it won't bounce back.

Nice car you have there.

I could look at it 2 ways here if i ever line up against you on the line.
1.) it would be sweet to be next to a top looking car
or
2.) id be shattered, knowing i would never get anywhere close enough to beating you off the line.
lol

[Essassin]

I was kidding (sort of...lol) about the blower, I'm sure you've dropped enough coin getting the car to where it is now, and I'd be happy with it as is! But good to know its on the cards anyway

it depends, do you love your car now? selling a car now these days is hard, car market is always bullshit, sometimes u can get lucky, but an ls3 into an acclaim..thats mad
vz is deff a top model much prefer the vz over the ve

[GEN3RATD]

cant make my mind up lol

edit: actually, could you PM me the details/price if you dont mind? i have some quotes from some workshops here in WA and id love to see what you think

[dijm8]

naaaaaaaaaaaa

everyone is sayin that lol seen a few pics i thought it looks alright, wanting to get the center of the bumper blacked out too so will be gettin a price of that too...

ive got a pic of the idea if anyone wants to see

[GAMBLR]

Yep, I wanna see the pic! :P

[dijm8]

here we go...

Looks different but not a fan. IMO

Doesn't look too bad; I wouldn't do it.

If you do get it, don't black out the badge, it's the only thing making it flow.

[dijm8]

i would probs buy another bumper and do it to that, if i didnt like it just sell it or spare parts

i originally wanted to cut that whole front middle section out and get a plastic mesh made up for it, i dont like the metal type mesh that u see around

[dijm8]

got a price before...$350 for the roof in matte and the bumper $220 abit more for carbon fiber which does look better, isnt too bad....or............around $4500 to wrap the whole car which is quite sexy opinions?

[Essassin]

I like the black in the photochop. I reckon do that and leave the roof, or wrap the whole car. But I wouldn't do the bumper and the roof.
