    haha thanks, I was think of get other wheel...but factory wheel look alright to me, look like serious people driving car haha, Yeah I am wash up soon and use spary look good lol.

    For future mods, I have no idea, But I would think of sunroof and fresh white paint and rid of grey and use black instead, would it look nice? Also I didn't know for sure haha and any idea you got for mods?

    That looks so much nicer now. The older garnishes tend to fade and go yellow. How much did you pay for the set?

    Just watch the chrome strips, they tend to come un-stuck over time.

    yeah 100% nice and newer.

    I pay Statesman Garnish Series 2/3 for $385 and brand new tail light on ebay for $260 but with postage so $285, but still worth it, and yes I noticed this, sometime hard to close boot lid but have to carefully with it.

    What other mods have you got planned?

    You got that at a good price, I paid like $700 for my garnish with postage.

    Think about to change engine, Because my engine is currently as VN engine I would want VS engine, and other mods is wheel! and possible VS Caprice/Statesman Trim doors for all doors, and Do you think about to upgrade Door trims for your statesman?
