    That's pretty much the cost of a decent set of rims with some low end tires... If you wanted look PLUS some better handling, lower it (This won't cost the whole 1k). You might get a second hand skirt kit, painted, for that price if you're lucky? But a kit would look crap with hup caps...

    Your money would be better spent on a vcm tune or diff gears. If i had a exec i would chuck some 17"s on it.

    3. $30 - Black neon lights for the front grill
    4. $100 - Chevy Grill cuz alloytecs are chevs!
    5. $115 - DBA slotted rotors (PIMP)
    6. $30 - 10m Roll of Window tint from SuperCrap
    7. $30 - Window squirters (Chrome with Blue lights)
    8. $300 - Rear Wing from Autobarn to kerep your car from taking off
    9. $60- fully awesome Canon Exhaust from supercheap
    Exterior Modifications for a $1000..


    $620 and you have yourself a VZ Ricemobile..

    Lol nah seriously Lowered, Tinted Windows, Exhaust, you should still have some cash to buy Holden floor mats and a thing of car wash..

    look into removing the ugly black strips or get the colour coded to match the car. and change head lights to SS/Calais

    Why would he bother getting a tune when he hasnt even done the zorst yet? it would throw it all out and require a retune when he changes the zorst

    That's if he is even planning on an exhaust. I don't have an exhaust but do i have a VCM tune. This way i get more power and no attention from the cops for a loud exhaust.

    Mate put the money and a bit more to get some decent rims and good tyres, then probably do the other stuff in stages, coz u can do a lot to make it look better..but then again you have to look at your finances as well..good luck!!!

    Thanks for the idea's guys, new to forums.
    I was thinking about darkest legal tint, second hand VZ SS rims and tires, lowering it and then debadging the exec and commodore badges off the back, and tinting the tail lights. would that be below 1K ?
    With victoria's laws i cant get an exhaust which sucks (n)
    Has anyone tinted there tailights? does it look any good?

    Again any help is much appreciated

    FYI, you would be looking at around the $1000 mark just to have a full clubby kit all painted up
