2006 VZ SS Thunder 6.0ltr

I got the bonnet for $600 but then it arrived unprimed and unpainted so that theres no scratches or anything on it. It then cost close to $200 to prime, paint and fit it so around about $800 mate.

I was wondering if it is possible to make them grilles on the front side guard like on your ute where the indicator is. Would it be possible to cut a hole in it and then cover it up with the grill and place the indicator ontop but I don't think it would quite look the same. If not then would you by any chance know how much it costs to get the front side guards with them?

Also I've found some rims that I want to get as I still have the ugly standard ones. I want to get a larger size but I dont know if I should get 18 or 19 inch (Standard being 17). I want it to look good (I think 19 look better) but someone told me that the bigger the size, the less handling and power you get? Once I get the rims I also need to take the mudguards off to make it look nicer.

 

I bought it through ebay here

hey mate.. I love the height of it! ive got a vz senator and want it to sit pretty much the same as that.
was wondering what the part numbers are for your springs and struts..

cheers nathan

 

im pretty sure ur engine is a L98 not a L76

 

The manual Thunders have the L98, the autos have the L76.

 

my bad then.. cheers for that

 

thats not true as i have a L98 auto thunder . .
would be intresting to know how many thunders were built with the L98 and how many with the L76 ?

 

Agree with both of those - red calipers imo
Have you thought about changing the number plate lights? Blue LED's always look good on a silver car..although it's illegal I'm pretty sure, so if you wanna keep it legal white looks good too and imo are a bit more tasteful, which seems like the look you're going for
Whitewalls maybe? Tinted lights?
personalised plates (if you don't already have them lol), makes the car memorable
Obviously it's your car and comes down to your personal taste, just throwing some ideas around

Your ride looks very tough btw, surprised I haven't seen it around as I spend heaps of time driving around Mornington and Mt Martha. I'll keep an eye out

 

Zombie the car is fantastic as is, my only suggestion is get the Lower Grille Mesh which goes under your Plate. $65 Dollars from Holden, I put it on mine and think it looks heaps better

 

Fair enough, personally I'm a big fan of the clean & classy look, which your ute certainly has. I've been thinking about tinting my lights (even went and bought the blackout paint..) but still unsure. Bad luck on the plates, hopefully something comes up.
Thought any more about the sound system? I guess it depends how into music you are, but I find driving almost twice as enjoyable with a good system. Then again I'm an audiophile haha

 

Try doing covers only which is what i've done below , that said I take them off most of the time, but for show theses turn heads, come off in 30 seconds

 

VERY VERY clean ute mate! love it, love the rims, the ride height, the hardtop, all of it im a massive fan of the VU-VZ utes, yours is a fine expample of MINT

iv got speakers behind my headrests too, cept mine arent pointing upwards like yours
