Well i picked up my new car today and im soooo excited, its a whole differant world compared to my VS.

I have big plans for this beast so ill update it as i go, here she is as i picked her up today with my shiny new 19" rims

Good start. I would get an SS front bar, maybe a rear too, some foggies to fill, paint the door strips, lower an inch or two, debadge it and get a nice 2.5" catback.

What are your ideas for it?

First thing is 20% tinted windows which im hoping to do mid next week.

i was going to put some superlows in it but im not sure if i want to now, the ride is so nice and firm compared to what my VS was i dont NEED to lower it, plus i have to roll thegaurds which is an added cost.

id like an SS kit for it but ill just sit with it as is for the moment and wait for a bargain to come along.

exhaust... well not sure, since redback dont make cat backs i dont know what to do. anyone know if the xforce twin 2.5" cat backs are any good?

unlike my VS where i went cracy and had gauges big ass body kit racing seats and that sort of thing i think ill focus more on a nice ride this time. like SS interior or if budget allows a nice interior, good quality sound system, nothing over the top, berlina instrument cluster that sort of thing.

heres a chop that a mate done for me, he reckons i should do this to my car

To low. You would need perfect roads to ride like that.

ragrim · #6 01-10-2008, 09:30 AM

yeah i know its overkill, superlows is as low as i would go, even that is probably a bit low for the ride quality im looking for, im in a kind of country area with some ****ty roads so super lows gives quote a rough ride and shakes interior panels loose :S

we pretty much have the same car, except your's is 05 and mine is 04. them 19s look mint, wouldnt mind them myself. but im looking for some 17s, or 18s.

get a SS front bumper, once i get some more money up, ill be buying the foggies than ill just need to paint and fit mine.

what kind of stereo you using?

ragrim · #8 04-10-2008, 09:30 PM

atm im just using the stereo i had in my VS

kenwood MP5039U head unit, pretty good for its price
Rockford fosgate 6" P162C in the front
Rockford fosgate 6.5" P163C in the rear
2x rockford fosgate P1's in the boot
Pyle 1400w 2 channel amp running subs
Kenwood 320w 4 channel amp running speakers

next week im upgrading both amps, looking to get a kenwood 1000w mono block and a 500w 4 channel because ive just realised due to my small amps im not getting the most out of my system.

i was considering an SV6 bosy kit but ive just come across this

Talon Auto Styling - Holden Commodore VZ Sedan - GTZ Body Kits - Front Bar

i realy like this kit and may consider getting it if i end up selling my VS.

looks good mate just need to be dropped and it will finish it off

andyman · #11 05-10-2008, 12:53 PM

looks good, when the cars from work where on sale there was a martini coloured wagon aswell but it wasnt as good a nic as the one i ended up with. its nice colour i reckon.

i prefer the ss kit over the gtz sorry, just looks a little tarty in the side skirts and plain in the front bar. but thats me

DUK13Y · #12 05-10-2008, 05:17 PM

SS kit would be my choice.

ragrim · #13 06-10-2008, 01:20 AM

i like the gtz kit cause its differant, ive allways been a fan of being the odd man out, going for something differant to everyone else lol.

i went to street torque on the coast today and there was a VY ute with a 1 of a kind front bar on it which i am now totally in love with, i enquired about it and its $660 un painted for just a front bar, they havnt made side skirts or a rear bar for it yet but ill be keeping in contact with them cause when a full kit is available ill be getting it for sure, ill post a pic of it tomorrow with a pic of my headunit.

lowering and tints are comming next week and my cold air intake and cat back within the month if my money budgeting goes to plan (which it never does)
