    Default vz pin stripe + SL shocks

    Recently given my vz a new coat of paint!, just seeing what peoples opinions are on a chrome double line pin stripe to separate the two tone? I dont want it to look to over the top, so im hesitent about doing it.
    also Im fitting my sl king springs soon, is it necessary to get shocks to suit?

    i would go coloured stripe if i were you, chrome would be seen unless you were standing next to it.

    no sure about the colour, at least get some chrome wheels instead of black,
    it looks like you ran out of money and couldnt do the top half of your paint job lol.

    Not my cup of tea.
    However, some contrasting wheels, calais head and tail lights and yeah some sort of pinstriping to break up the tones.

    Chrome wheels will make it fit better haha :P

    As for SL springs, SSL springs or SSSL springs, you can use ALL of them on standard shocks; recommending it is a different story.


    SL's should be pretty much fine, SSL you may want them. (my ute has SL's, was a little rough tho)

    BUT, my current car i got shortened shocks and struts front and rears, with SL springs, and it ran almost better than before i lowered it. I just put SSL in the rear and starting to feel it but w/o the shocks i dunno what i'd be feeling haha.


    Simply, SL, if you don't have the money don't do it, otherwise do it - Hey, saves you doing ti later on if you need to

    Alright thanks mate lot of help!, I will see how the springs run with the stock shocks first ey, also any recommendation on a exhaust system? Are extractors worth the time and money with a v6 auto?

    If you're thinking of going with the red I think 'the wheel deal' does the gutter-rash/scratch protectors for alloy's in red also. So you'd look like you have red walls. Just a thought to tie that theme together.
