Looks the part with the painted wheels. You'll have to paint the rotors black and the calipers blue too when you get your brake kit! It'll look smashing then! Good job, it's coming along great!

Well manual conversion wasnt too bad... i have done it on my old vr commodore and used the same box and pedal assembly on the vs but had to buy a vs manual ecu and loom... was well worth the money for the savings of hassles. just for the vs you have to get the flywheel mirror balanced to the old flex plate... most annoying thing for me was the pedal box

that should help you out heaps though... i printed out the pages when i first did the conversion but the second time i knew what i was doing..

Painted the garnish, put the S pac spoiler on and changed to a twin tip(havnt got a pic)
Decided against the big brake kit from work as i found out they are ford front callipers( spewing)
still deciding if i should go VT-VX or go with the new VE front callipers...
i do already have a 1inch master to go in but as everything goes when i can be bothered

Nice car man! Not a fan of the lip to be honest but you gotta love that manual/calais combination :p
Suspension sits nicely as well! Will definitely keep an eye on your thread.
