nice car Hillzzy, i bet it's got way more grunt than the old VS. shame to see the ute go but at least you replaced it with a good car.

[badnuz]

definite improvement with the new rims!

Thanks mate yeah she goes really nicely.. big change from the ute

definite improvement with the new rims!

Yeah i think so.. i love red cars with black wheels

[Hillzzy]

No updates just some better pictures.. might see what it looks like without the spoiler and post up sum snaps. Also need some GM CentreCaps for the wheels as they came with Chev ones and im not a fan of chev badges on a holden. Needs to be lowered but dont wanna spoil the comfy ride so any suggestions are welcome.

hey mate nice car. you should get a nice ride if it lowered if you get a good set of shocks to suit

[Hillzzy]

yeah thanks man.. yeah i wanna know what to expect from monroe sport shocks n struts combined with kings or lovells. if anyone knows then fill me in. cheers and i took the spoiler off.. the spoilers staying on though untill i decide what to do as the 3rd brake light is an issue.

[ParkwayDrv]

Nice dude

[tim005]

Ahhhh, so this is what the VS ute was left for...
Not bad at all Hillzzy, not bad at all.
Definitely no spoiler and SS front bar...

[Hillzzy]

Nice dude

Thanks mate.. hows the lovells go?

Yeah need to get me one of those led brake lights put in.. and an SS bar would be nice as ive seen it done b4 but the sv8 front is growing on me cos its different lol

[Hillzzy]

Got superlows going in the rear 2moro morning.. anyone know what camber kit i should look at or if ill even need one?

[Hillzzy]

just a quick snap of the rear lowered.. fronts will be done soon along with all new front end bushes, new struts and possibly a strut brace.

[Matt02SS]

Looks good mate. Glad u changed the wheels.. Looks a lot better with the new wheels. I prefer the spoiler off personally.. But I still like the look of it with it on.. It's amazing how much differance it makes to the rear end.. Keep it up.

[Unlesh]

i like it with the black wheels

Thanks mate. i like the wheels but wouldnt mind some ssv's or something bigger and yeah the spoiler will probably be coming off as i got the grommets and led brake light jus need that rear number plate surround painted.

[Matt02SS]

i was just about to suggest getting the number plate surround painted.. Will make a big difference.. It might even pay to ring Just commodore spares.. They did have a red ss at one of their locations.. i never went to look at it, but you might be able to grab a surround from it..

[Surfwagon]

The black wheels suit the red and the car should look better without the spoiler and the number plate frame colour coded.

Yeah definitely it seems Holden were too lazy with this car it looks tacky.. Not sure if the ss colour is the same as mine is sting red where urs is red hot I'm guessing?

Thanks mate yeah spoilers comin off asap

Dont think my springs are gonna settle much more by the look of them I figured superlows would be sitting level with the tyre by now so I've got another pair off a mate I can chuck in if they don't...

[Hillzzy]

Washed and waxed her up after taking the spoiler off. Cleaned under the engine cover too.. lol at 11 years of dust and s#*t





Before

After

[Matt02SS]

yea i think your right about the colour, could always get yours painted.. What did you use to paint your rubber spoiler grommets?

Do you have an engine cover? if not, the rails the engine covers sit on do come off.. would look a bit nicer without em..

Yeah I'm getting mine painted probs along with the mirrors.. I used jus a red spray paint to colour them and it's a lot better than black that's all lol and yeah the engine covers on still until I get split ones

[Hillzzy]

Not much has happened lately but ive managed to get some 4-1 Pacemakers for a steal so i just need high flow cats and thats the exhaust finished.. other than that ive tidied up the interior a bit with a new console surround and a satin handbrake cover and i painted those ugly chev badges black and it looks ten times better imo.

[coo dawg]

Nice ride mate.

Looks good with the red and black theme I reckon!

Have you sorted the brake light issue?

Thanks bud.

Yeah red & black looks tasty but im after some 19"s now lol

and yeah brake light is sorted with a narva one i bought from autobarn. just fed it throught behind the seats and through the boot. now legal lol

Where did you mount this / got a link for it? Where the light normally goes in the window is all blacked out. I want to remove the wing but don't want the huge hole in the boot lid to get water in. Was thinking of just buying an executive boot and be done with it since there is no holes.
