hey mate lovin the car!
are you still looking at getting new rims?
would you consider selling those ones??

These ones have grown on me and cash is very limited at the moment, but in the future would love some VY SS, VY sigs or VE GTS rims.

Yeh i just unscrewed them and sprayed paint stripper on them. Then just put them under water to remove the black paint. Took about 20mins to do and it looks so much better. Here are some links mate:

I am going to be creative and try to fit them to a VX SS bumper that i should be picking up this week, as well as the chrome trim around the middle, i have no idea how but hopefully I can manage something.

how much did the gas set you back?

Hey mate the Gas was $2266, but the Government Rebate is $1750 which you get back within 2 weeks. Doesn't cost much and is definitely worth it, saving about $30-$40 a week so I'm happy.

cheers for that, yeah i'm thinking about getting my VT on gas. will be well worth the $500 after the rebate.

Yeah mate its well worth it. I filled up a full tank yesterday for $24 and I'm getting more Km's per tank of gas than petrol so I'm happy.

Here is some pics of the boot with the gas tank, sub, amp and new boot lid carpet:


Here are some pics of the new chrome window surrounds that i just picked up for pretty cheap:

Mate i would only swap the rims for some 18" VY SS rims. It would have to be a straight swap. Or swap for VY Sigs or VE GTS + cash

Big update!! Got a VX SS front bar put on today with some fresh VX headlights and foggies, the bar had some custom work done by my panel beater who did a great job, fitting the VT chrome grilles into the VX bar. Also grabbed a VY SS leather and satin chrome handbrake that I will chuck in there soon

A few pics:

What did you do with the old front bar? I'ld be more than happy to take it off your hands.
