My05 VZ Storm ute

[VZnewbie]

Hi all, just new to the forum so i thought id start it with a bang!

so about 6 months back i bought my 1st car "a black 05 VZ Storm ute" with 70 000 on the clock and relitively cheap. For me still being an L plater this car is AWSOME lol.

so it was completely stock when i got it, apart from the mirror tint which im soon to change, but in since iv had it iv done a few mods..

$2500 pioneer sterio consisting of:
6.5" pro D series splits and crossovers amped,
a 1000Watt slimline sub amped with a mono block,
and a 7" double din dvd touch screen with all the bizzo that comes with it.

then just recently i bought some 20" verde madonna's with 245/30s and a stage 1 sl lowering kit which really sets it off, other than that i havent really done any other mods apart from the 2hole mod, which for the 175kw makes a bit of a difference

for future mods i might get a exhaust, just to give it a bit of a note, but right now its sexc and im super happy with the way it is

oppinions and comments/suggestions would be good =]

oh and yes i know it needs a clean haha

U Should Run SSSL'z In The Rear And SSL'z In THe Front Will Make It Look Awsome
Just Some Advice For The Exhaust I Got Pacemaker Extractors Into Dual 2 1/4 Into 1 Muffler Box With Single 2 1/2 Out The Back With No Rear Box Sounds Awsome If U Want I'll Make A Vid For U If U wanna Hear It

Nice Ute Anyway Mate

beaut 1st ride mate, looks mint, i agree with fat.36l needs to go that bit lower in the rear, and mayb a hard cover to really get her lookin tha part?

anyway looks great, well done for a 1st car

[baracuda]

besides needin a clean needs SS headlights too :-)

nice car mate

[DUK13Y]

wow. What do you do to get that sorta money on your L's?!? Nice.

[nicko]

Very nice ride, lower it stat! Dont put a hard lid on there they are soft as. Fancy putting a wheelbarrow in there and have a 2M windbreak above your car lol.

Oh and clean it

[VZnewbie]

thanks for the feedback guys, haha so ive given her a clean and shes looking mint!, for future mods im looking at ss headlights, i might debadge the rear emblem on the tailgate... what do you guys think?? im stuck on whether to keep it or not.. umm also maybe darken the tail lights a little, AND if i can find out where to get them i want to get a infill gril pannel for the bottom of the front.

FAT.36L if you could that would be awsome, i might look at giving it a bit of a nicer note =]

any other suggestions guys??

[white vyII]

how much did you pay for those wheels? im after those for my vy ute
nice looking ute but!

[VZnewbie]

thanks white vyII

Well i ended up paying $2700 for rims and tyres, 20/245/30s

[white vyII]

Ah k cool beta get saving then! thanks mate

[white vyII]

i reckon leave the holden ones and take off all the others. storm v6 etc. im doing it this week some time hopefully!

[VZnewbie]

i reckon leave the holden ones and take off all the others. storm v6 etc. im doing it this week some time hopefully!

i was thinking about doing that, but its a storm meaning its not just a sv6 or anything like that, it makes it that bit different from the rest..
let me know how the debadging goes for ya

[white vyII]

yer true but i reckon it'd look dumb with just storm ones on it. Ya could always stick the storm badge on the inside of your ute somewhere.
watch me thread on my ute and ul find out how it goes

[white vyII]

Heres something you could try, instead of forking out big $$ for the ss headlights

nice ute,i love the rims black on black looks smick!
how much you pay for the car?auto or manual?
im thinking of an upgrade to a vz ute,have a vt s at the moment.

[BANKS]

you can get the lover grill from either ebay or holden, both are the same price

If you take the holden badge off the tailgate you will be left with a hole that has to be filled and the whole tailgate repainted.

Any other questions ask, i've got the same ute sept v8

[VZnewbie]

thanks for the feed back guys
sorry i havent replied, i havent been on in a while.
i paid $23G and it had 70 000 on the clock and a few months left of warrenty i think.
its a manual 6 speed of course and id have it no other way
ive decided to leave the badges, and im going to dump it in the back a little more with some sssl

Nice Work Mate Make Sure You Keep Us Posted When You Get Them In, I Bet It Will Look Sick

[VToTheT]

[parkz]

hey man just wondering what you done for insurance as im still on my ls as well but looking to put some 20s on my 05 vz storm when i get my ps but rang my insurance and they wont insure me ( no suprize ).. so yeah hit me back
cheers

[Delish-VY]

you guys have too much money for having 23+k on ur l's, you coulda put a house deposit down lol, but yes I agree it definately needs a hard cover if you want it to look super sexified, get a thunder hard cover with the twin scoops n ule probly jizz in ur pants every time you look at your car will look way better than the dirty black tarp you"ve got on it now!

[DylanVZ]

Sweet Ute man, love the rims and i dont think it needs lowering anymore looks good how it is.

what double din head-deck did you get? i would really like one for mine.
