    Very nice mate. I would get an SS front bar and colour code the black side strips.

    Hey

    Thanks for the comments guys, have booked her in to get lowered tomorrow... Going for the Kings SuperLow all round and also change the struts and shocks, was quoted $950 all up inc fit and supply... Thought that was pretty good!? Also booked in for tinting on Sat at mates rates $220 for the whole car and just darker than legal...

    These are the new rims, sorry about the pic will take a better one after lowering and some cut and polish tomorrow!!!

    Catch ya

    That height looks great! Any reason you don't like it that low?

    Hey guys,

    With the suspension i have kings super lows all round, sorry i cant remember the names of the struts and shocks - thought they may have been kings?
    Im not sure why the bumper looks different in the pic but in real life i cant tell the difference...

    Uploaded more pics of what i have done to her, Rims, suspension, eBay leather, tinting... Up next im thinking of some gauges, saw some on eBay that are white during the day but when you have your lights on they have the same green as the dash so will stock... Also wanting some ss headlights as they look heaps better...
