I've got that exact same headunit in my ute, have you got any pics of your amp setup?
I vote no walls, looks cleaner and less P Plater spec.
Save up and get some SS projectors would set this off nicely.

not really considering second hand alloytecs are 2k plus for one in good nick and then you still dont know how much they are. a crate motor VZ alloytec is 4k then plus $800 for fitment yea i could do it myself. but still 4k and considering my rebuild costed me 4k i think im happy with that. and i got 3 more years on my Ps. sooo plenty of time to save up for a V8/ do a v8 conversion... if i was only on Ps for liek 1 more year then yea i woulda done this differently. but i got plenty of time. and have the money to do it. so why not.???

Traded them for these. no like? :(
Nah these aren't bad, but I liked the thunders better. I've always liked the thunders, I'm glad you don't still have them or I'd be trying to buy them off you ;)

haha nice job. I've already got a full spare set of wheels sitting in the garage as is. But if you do see a set of thunders with tyres for $500 or less give us a yell.
