    I'm glad it's fixed now. Its funny how attached you get to a car, I felt on edge and kinda jittery knowing my car wasn't at its peak. Or am I just crazy?

    edit, for james.

    took these just now, so you can see how my car lights up at night. the parkers don't look that yellow, but they are.

    not really much as of late. just driving and enjoying it.

    I'll have to get around to doing a proper boot install with the subs soon though.

    I haven't thought about a front badge. It's got the caprice badge in cursive script that came with the grille but that's it. I kinda like the clean look of the front end. Besides everyone knows its a statey anyway lol

    I've copped a little flak in the past for "not enough low" so I thought I'd post this picture to put in perspective how low my car really is. it looks pretty average because of the size and type of wheels, but as you can see the front bumper is just above the kerb. low but still very practical.

    haha it's plenty low. the top of the rear tyres just sits behind the flat arches at the back, if it was any lower I'd be having to get smaller wheels or start rolling panels.
