How do you go with the cops and that tint?
Sucks When You Gotta Start Spending A Bunch Of Money Hey!
Touch Wood all iv had to replace on mine is a tenchinor pully and brake pads haha

 

[2DIE]

The first time I was pulled over for unregistered (3 days over due, honest mistake) they didn't say anything. Same cops pulled me over at the same place 3 days later and checked my rego, the rookie girl cop asked where did I get my tint done, i just said it was like that when I bought it and the guy cop just told her to leave me alone.

Apart from that Ive been pulled over for breath testing countless times at night and they never said a word.

But I don't really go anywhere I don't need to go, don't cut laps, don't drive stupid and any time I'm talking to the police I always be nice to them.

Going to add the ebay pics of it but I don't have the front spoiler any more, it half ripped off reversing out of a park as the it caught the edge and I didn't notice.

Ahh ok thats good then coz im looking at getting tint done on my car coz im sick of driving down the freeway and having guys just stare into my car at my miss's! its very distracting and she doesn't like it..

Man bad luck on the front spoiler ay!

im looking at a VX bodykit on ebay, i think im ganna get it iv seen ALOT of vns with it and they look mean as..

 

[2DIE]

The spoiler didn't suit it anyway, found a Calais one at the wreckers for $80 so kind of happy the old one got broken.

Talk to some people with the VX kit first before you get one, I hear they are a pain in the ass to fit.

 

[JohnyRock]

Yer id say it would be but its worth the time spent onit i guess! what does the calais body kit look like??
Better Then The Standard?

 

[2DIE]

There is no Calais body kit, I was just lucky enough to get a silver bumper from a Calais. 99% sure its no different to a standard Commodore.

 

[JohnyRock]

Oh ok dnt mind me haha im only new to the commodore world
Im just making my car pretty haha id never be able to do anything with the engine lol that the mechanics job!

Got my new rear tyres today, thinking about the same for the front.

Anyone have thoughts on 225s vs 215s on the front?

These are 225/60R15 Highway Max ($60 but kick ass from what I hear)

Not sure if 225 is too wide or will be fine on the front.

I have 225's all round Not bad


I think morton runs highway 215's on the front and 225's on the rear? maybe ask him about it?
