    I think either would look good with it lowered. Personally I'd go the originals though. Looks hot.

    Take a number mate, i have about 4 mates after them if i take them off! I think i will keep them now anyway.

    trying to get a mate to part with a set of springs he had in his ute, so it will be lowered soon. i am also looking for a twin 2.5 inch cat-back exhaust for it as well.

    nice ute dude i was entertaining the idea of 1 of these but decided it was not practical for me.

    personnally i wouldnt put those sabres on it, if they were chrome and 20's then yes.

    you could sell both sets and get some black and chrome 20's the contrast between them and the yellow would really stand out.

    but its only my opinion and i am bias! lol

    good luck with it and future mods.

    sabres= fail and over done,


    they will ruin a prefectly good ute if you put them on.

    im thinking some black fives spoke with poilshed lip, would set the yellow of nicely

    Yeah mate they do, leather, climate ctrl, stacker, elec seats, etc.

    I have a few interior shots, they are not the best but they will do till i can take better ones.

    I've decided to keep the stock wheels on for now and go bigger down the track. Lowering will be soon (I have a mate with springs, he can't get up his driveway with the lowered springs in ).

    I'm looking for a nice sounding cat-back exhaust for it to so i can actually hear the 6L, i'm sick of people saying "oh i didn't hear you coming."

    Cheers guys, any feedback would be appreciated.

    Absolutely sensational...

    Good choice on keeping the stock wheels... i think (aswell as a few others is seems) they suit those utes so perfectly... and once its lower!! damn *wipes drool from corner of mouth*

    What brand/ sort of catback you looking at putting on it?

    Don't know what brand yet, it will probably twin 2.5". it's a bit hard because i'd like to hear what the different setups sound like.
    If anyone has any suggestions brand and size to suit the 6L let me know.

    Sounds good but I'd put lowering a bit higher on the list. Sorta sits a bit like a truck atm . Keep up the good work.
