    thanks guys,
    fronts are super lows, and i just :yeah:lifted:yeah: the rear with "super lows". lol
    and the tint is 20%. 3M i think, very happy with it :)

    20's will be here in a day or two so will post sum pics wen there on, then tart up the brakes coz u'll see em i guess :thumbsup:

    Some ppl tell me to colour code the black strips on the roof but i think with the black windows n mirrors it ties in nicely.

    Probably change the front bar and i think that will do me for a bit.

    bit of an update, grill now chrome :p and a ss front bar is on the way! cant wait.
    speaking of which, will my exec grill fit the bar? also need to find lower insert and fog lights. any ideas?

    also it seems to be sunk in the ass more now, may be lifting it a touch and new shocks all round to improve everything!

    hey man love your wagon, i've been looking into doing something similar to my wagon, where bouts did you stumble upon a VZ SS front bar? I've been looking for ages and can't find any? Also can you give me a ball park figure of how much it cost you? Thanks!

    you can pick the up for 310 if you beg nicely at your holden dealer, you need to get the upper and lower grill while you there, upper is about 70 and lower is approx 35,

    bludeck you just need to align that rear wiper to just above the rubber seal, there is a pic of it like it in my thread on the second page, make it look alot neater.

    you just need to flip up the nut cover on the wiper arm, crack the nut and twist the wiper arm around into place when your happy.

    oh and 20% looks great on wagons ey.

    bah, dont worry about that, the rubber strip there is only a dress, ive pulled mine out and cleaned behind it numerous times, the window is glued in and the rubber strip just fills the gap, it only sits there.
