Nice.

You have any trouble with it scraping? I have the same body kit with the stock FE2 suspension - would love to have it lowered but it scrapes as it is.

Must say, the dark tint and black wheels look hot.

Thank you
It'll scrape if I take things straight on i.e. driveways.
I've had it for a few months now and i've scraped it once coming out of my driveway (which is pretty steep) and once with a full car of boys lol.
But to answer your question, if you take bumps slow and wide, it's no real problem

Thanks for that mate
I'll have a look around.
Any other suggestions?

maybe try some local wreckers mate, i got one of my foglights off a smashed calais, no idea how it survived a front ender tho... i will keep my eyes out for u up here in bris.. expect to pay $200+ for the lights a covers tho.. worth every cent

Cheers thanks for that mate. I'll have a look around here after I'm finished exams.
Just an update :
I've been having a few issues with my sound system cutting in and out.
Noone could pin point the exact issue. Took it to a car radio place yesterday and they suggested it was a bad ground. I cleaned the connection up from the amp to the ground and still no difference. I went under the hood and tightened up the power cable to the positive battery terminal and voila All good so far *touch wood*

Update

Just threw on the new plates, 4 gauge amp wiring kit and a new alternator
Old rims are on for obvious reasons
