At the moment it's all stock except the wheels.
I plan on modding it visually first as I am still on my Ps and can't drive anything with power...

I have a few ideas on what I want to do but will always listen to your advice etc.

I Debadged it today (a suggestion from this site) and it came up really nice. I just kept the 2 Lions. Will post those pics later.

Also pulled the dealership sticker off.

Not sure what I really want to do next... I want to paint the dash and other bits (like around air vents) but will wait until I have a new Cd player and subs and do it all in one go, I want to get it lowered, I am thinking about buying a body kit, I don't know where to start! So many different options. I might browse the forum for other cars and find cars I like.... lol

Looks nice mate. I reckon get an exhaust first, to get a better sound and performance, if you that type of person.

Maybe altezza chrome tail lights - will match the white theme of the car.

19's 20's and lowered would look nice as well

but cheapest thing which will look the best imo would be a darkest legal tint would set it of nicely

already looks sweet now tho, in very good nick.

I need to get the back tint redone so I will see if they can do them all at once.
What type of exhaust is good? I have no idea..lol I had a VP commodore before this and wasn't fussed to do anything to it.
Where do you get those Altezza head/tail lights?
I Have started looking at new rims but I'm scared to buy something that doesn't suit the car...any suggestions?

Just go a 2.5 inch catback exhaust, best place to find Altezza head/tail lights would probably just be ebay and rims just have a look around on some other cars and see what you like, look for wheels that would go with the colour sceme of your car. personally i fancy anything with dish lol.

rims will always cost you a fair bit..
depends where you go,
but for exhausts, go to ian diffen or somewhere like that, get a single 2.5inch catback exhaust(with extractors if you want a little extra power + fuel econ,) that whole setup will cost you around $900.
550 for extractors, and 350 for exhaust, last time i checked.

They are actually from Mossy Point; in the background of this pic (red car), you can see the tomo headland...(look up from the back wheel)
