2013 VE SS Z Series Ute
Cleaned up the original post so now this just sounded like i was repeating myself
Theres a performance shop near my local town that seem to get decent results of out of these 6 ltrs,
looking for around 270-300 rwkw and hopefully can be sensible enough to keep my licence :D

One thing ive noticed about the series 2/z series is that the clutches are a real pain to get used to :/ feels like im learning manual all over again.

Love the colour ;)

Keen to hear what you think of the 3 inch manta when it goes on.
definitely getting the mild steel 3" at 3000kms, if my phone camera is good enough ill try post a sound clip once its done :)

Nice ute mate, future mods sound like the go as well.

You will be keen to pay for the S2 projector lights, I hear they aren't cheap haha they were part of the reason I went a SSV.

Also you forgot 'Lowering' on your list haha these utes look awesome when dumped.

Yeah I guess it depends on practicality and looks, my town is pretty rough and you learn to reverse in parks pretty quick even with standard height. I put SSSLs in last Friday and it's still not low enough for me, so I'm looking into getting coilovers. I'm sure it'll look good whichever way you go :)
