Modifacation ideas for my VT

[braddz93]

Hey i recently bought a V6 98 VT commodore for $1500! off my parents and i am now want to mod it up. I am wanting to do any mods weather they are power mods or exterior mods. I am only 17 so dont have alot of money but i do have around 2000 .
The only thing i have done is changed the rear boot garnish to a Vx ss one (Y)

Anyway any ideas will be appreciated

Thanks
Brad

hey mate im 17 to and gotta vx gud job with the garnish makes it looks soo much betta well for a 2000 budget i wudn get rims coz it will suk all the money unless you can find a nice set at the wreckers realtively cheap but me personally I would lower it fit a cat back exhaust with sum clean twin tips buy some monaro lights you can get all that for 1000 mayb 1100 the rest of the money you cud put into a new head unit plus an okay amp/sub or try and find a nice set of 2nd hand rims and it shud go gud man

Put a nice stereo in, best bang for your buck you can possibly get with a car. Note that nice doesn't have to be the same as loud, quality over quantity pays off here. For $2000 you can get some very decent speakers, a good head unit, and a decent amplifier which you'll enjoy and benefit from every time you turn the key.

You spend money on wheels/lights/bodykit/etc you are spending money so other people can see those things while they drive around (and probably think to themselves - "Oh look, another hoon in a riced out Commodore"), you spend money inside the car, that's something you can enjoy every time you drive.

You should face the fact that you drive a heavy auto V6, it's never going to be a rocket ship (esp for $2000), and nor should a 17 year old drive a rocket ship anyway, so I really wouldn't waste time with an exhaust (it might sound fast, but it won't actually be fast) or anything like that.

you could also go for a 2.5" catback to give it a half decent not. You can get one of those for about 250 - 300 installed. I do agree with danja though, no point with power mods just not worth unless your going to spend big money.
Good luck with it though

Yeah cat back would the bo the way to go, although ive been quoted $400 installed, or $500 for a redback 2.5" sports exhuast
