    Nice SS. Interior looks great, the new headlights will make a big difference. What colour are you going with the dash lighting?

    Yea I had the spoiler off for a few days, but the black grommets are too visible, and the one where the wiring goes through doesn't let the grommet sit flat.

    It's just clicked over 160000.. Was hoping for a little lower kms, but it's about average for an 02 model..

    Hey mate, mines a 02 model 6 speed too its done about 107,000km with leather no sunroof though its like new. Only wanted one with those km coz I gotta pay it off over 5 years and I figure Ill cruise it alot so when I own it ill sell it and get a newer one for another 5 years. But yeh yours looks hot, I reckon I know where those photos were taken I had a mate that lived at moonta mines we used to cruise round there in my vn ss all the time.

    The aftermarket ones are fine, here's a pic of the new ones I put on.
    Sold my original ones with weathering for more than I payed for the new aftermarket ones.

    You can get kits from autobarn and places like that, to repair the headlights, might save you a lot of cash.
