shame you los ton those headlights dude, there will be better ones next time. yea the lever at the back is striaight up instead of curved, should of taken photos to explain it. will get some when i put the chrome door handles in. what colour you going to vinyl die

not sure, was thinking the same colour as the car, not sure if it would suit, otherwise just silver like the ss. picking up the dash this week, can't be shitty about $10! what do you reckon colour wise? and also, engine cover wise?
do you have chrome interior handles? how much did they cost you?
here's a good explanation on the headlights i was talking about; StreetWagons.com • View topic - DIY VX "SS" mod for lights

So went and picked up the dash out of a VT SS today, has fog light switch and all so if I decide to get a bodykit with foggies, got he switch

Going to vinyl die the dash, just not sure what colour? Do I go silver of go the same colour as the car? Leaning towards silver, but opinions would be good!

Cheers, Stevo

black, blue or silver

 

[TXB-409]

think i'm gonna go with silver as the safe option.
do you have to use plastic primer if your using the vinyl die?

Soooooo, finally an update!

Got my VT SS dash installed, still yet to get the bodykit but at least i've got the foglight switch and will probably have the loom as well by the end of the week.

Also, wasn't happy with my door handles looking scratched after using the wrong grit sand paper, so installed my other ones as well as the door vents!

Andddd.. took off my engine cover so that I can paint it and also polish up and clean out the plenum chamber, yayyyyy!

Some photo's for you all

And a very average chop of the bonnet off the car as well as engine cover

Let me know what you think, also your opinions on what colour you guys think I should paint my engine cover and dash? I'm thinking silver dash, but not sure on engine cover!

Gorgeous car! they are the tail lights im looking at getting to replace my chrome ones. I wish I had the guts to pain the inside of mine, I want to but keep thinking ill stuff it up. love the silver, really suites the car

 

[TXB-409]

Yeah I'm nervous as hell about painting my dash, but because I got the SS dash it means I'll just paint the auto surround, well vinyl die it, because then if I f*** it up at least I've got a spare one there

But I'm surprisingly confident now that I've got a mate that's done it, will post up how I go!

Also, looked at both yours cars, love them both And definitely get that tail lights girlracerhsv, some people don't like altezza's, but i love the look of them on my car Just need a chrome garnish strip..

just buy another auto surround from the wreckers as practice ones
