Hey, this is my 2008 Calais V International. I just bought it October last year as I’ve always wanted a V8, and I’m now starting to do a few bits and pieces to it.

So far it’s got:
20” Foose wheels
Window tints
Some aftermarket mufflers, unsure of what brand as they came with the car
X-Air fibre glass bonnet
Holley engine coil covers

It’s booked in to the garage in 3 weeks to get a tune, VCM Suite OTR CAI and 3” X-Force full exhaust system.

What I would like:
Lower it on coil overs
Camshaft
New, better brakes
Senator style interior door panels etc. to match the seats
Would love to supercharge it one day but doubt I’ll have the money to do it

Haha all good, I like the looks of the chev grille anyway. Looks good on the coil overs though, it sits really nice. Looks like that will be a good set for me to go for!
