Nice looking car you got there mate, as previously said, drop her and she will look a $hit load better. As for your future plans mate, you mentioned a Clubsport bodykit, is that a VS one or something different? I only ask as i have a VS myself, with a VX Clubsport bodykit and also the VZ Guard Flutes you mentioned you want. Have a look and see if thats what you like? =)

Good luck with the plans mate, i hope to see them all happening in the near future.

hey mate jw, howd u do the dash conversion thing ? cheers

 

[esca_ByDesign]

Yeah thanks guys, as I said I plan to dump it as soon as I get paid, hopefully this month (Y).
Well I think I made it alot harder than it was with the dash cause I bought the LED's off eBay and tried taking the dash facia off but didn't know what I was doing and left it half on as I pulled the instrument cluster out. Long story short a couple of the globes were faulty so I took it in and out about 10 times, sliding it past the facia and then I split the ribbon wire and had to try and solder a connecting wire across the break which was f***ing risky but it worked haha. Yeah if you know how to take the Facia off it is easy, just 2 screws on the cluster and there are 4 globes at the back, just gotta make sure they are the right way round and your sweet. Looks so effective at night with the neons in foot wells
about the body kit I never really thought about it like that but that's a good idea. I was just gonna go vs body kit with vz indicator panel but a vx one would be awesome yours looks great mate (Y)

hopefully will clean and polish this weekend to get some more pics.

Happy to answer any more questions guys keep em coming.

Hey guys just want your opinion on lowering my car. My friend said he could get BMW ssl which would dump it like ridiculous at the rear and sl at front. I was wondering if I should dump it as low as it can go (without being unsafe) or just get commodore ssl which sit a fair bit higher?

He said you either dump it as low as you can or don't bother haha.


Let me know

Cheers heaps
