car looks nice man n so does the dash converstion :thumbsup: u got ne pics at nite? the marble is aws 2 man how much did they charge u 2 do that?
cheers mate, no night pics yet, ill post them when i get some. round $200 for the job including all materials. found a guy who used to work at f1 smash, now just does little jobs. i just gave him the dash. so yeah add the price of a fascia to that and its a reasonable price compared to what holden and some aftermarket companies charge for colour coded fascias. hope thats what u wanted to know
Hey mate, when you took the dash off did you have to take the stereo out of does it come off with out that. Cheers
VX SS Bar i picked up a genuine plastic VX SS bumper bar off a mate. it had a fair few scratches and it was originally quicksilver but i sprayed it raven. heres some pics: what it looked like when i got it and after some repairs and spraying and after my trip to strathy... reallll dusty lol
andd monaro tail lights picked up some monaro tail lights, and after 3weeks of trying to get the wiring loom i finally fitted them i sprayed the original vt garnish in raven to match the car. anyway enough talk, heres the pics: before and after hope u guys like it. not a big fan of the altezza's, but im hoping to find some genuine black gto tail lights =P cheers kristian
Hey mate, I like the car very interested to keep in touch with ya and follow what your mods look like, as i have the "exact' same car, colour, wheels lol everything lol, i love the VX SS front... thinking about that one for myself. Check out my car! http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vt-vx-vu-wh-v2/38723-vt-s-pac.html Cheers raZel :thumbsup:
haha yeah no worries mate...always good to see what i screw up lol. atm im building a custom install for my boot, cant wait to finish it. i reckon the ss bar looks mean, and it isnt as popular as the clubby in upgrades. love ur car man, very clean =P. do u have that camber problem in ur rear end? i do, im on belts lmao. anyways keep in touch mate, good luck with the mods ur looking at doing!
SS Headlights finally able to finish the front end off! got vx ss lights for 100 each i wasnt 100% happy cos the black lights look strange against the blue... to me not as tough as the phantom black vx ss... tell me what u guys think! and whether ve supersports will look good on my s! cheers kristian
i rekon the lights look great man i think its just ur rims not makin it look as tough as ud like, some black shadows rims, lowered and even some darker tint would help :thumbsup:
cheers excalibur and anth. yeah good point anth been wanting to tint it for ages lol, but just havent got around to it...and as for the rims i was thinkin of lucky sparks... what u reckon?
yeah too many to mention haha. im working on a boot install, type-r 12" sub, 2 JL amps. im almost finished gotta carpet it. im planning to do some engine work soon and get a set of rims. the stock look is killing me haha. thats about it for what my money will get me sadly. cheers for the comment!
I like the dumps too. Does the VX bar bolt straight up ojn the VT? I'm thinking it should. The VT's looking sweet.
thanks mate, yeah it does from what i remember its 5screws and it pops off. it sticks out a bit on one side just under the light, but i think thats cos the guy had it stacked wrong and bent it :S
