Cheers, and yeah for whatever reason HSV blinged up the GXP's. I'm planning on getting all the chrome and probably all the matte black painted gloss black. Just dont want to spend all my holiday money.

Bought myself a few early Christmas pressies. Black mirror covers, LED Tail Lights and a 3 inch Manta cat back, actually sounds like a V8 now. And have some better tyres going on it next week. Just shitty late arvo phone camera pics for now
Sort of thinking I might go the F/I route rather than a cam.

How do you find the ride on those coilovers? They are the same brand I'm looking at getting in my wagon eventually, and I imaging you would've tested them on a few crappy roads.

Little update; bought a new set of wheels as the Dynastys sort of look boring side on, should have the new wheels by this time next week and then cam/extractors/OTR will be next.
Not ideal to be honest. Have to be stiffer than I'd prefer with the wheel fitment. Though it was a lot smoother ride in Perth where the roads are better, here in Kal its pretty damn annoying at times. Does feel like it handles better though. Overall I would recommend them, just low, stanced, stretched and skinny tyres on shitty roads isn't fun.

Lookin awesome, be sure to put up a pic of the new wheels when they arrive. Did you decide to get something concave again?

Yeah getting Vertini RF1.1's so keeping the concave look. Though I was originally looking for something with some lip or even dish, not many options that clear Brembo's though and no designs I really liked. I thought about DTM Shines as they do clear Brembo's but they look a little boring, I would have loved to have got a set of XXR 521's but they'd only fit with spacers and massive guard work ala Fat R8/Zen/etc.

Just looked them up, they are very nice. Actually look similar to my VFS1's haha. What colour are you going?
I like the Dynasty's I just think they are done to death now, like the Rockstars used to be.
Personally I think concave looks nicer on the VE/VF's. To me dished wheels is more for older muscle cars. Either that or get very low offset with dish and concave, that would be the best of both worlds haha.
