I much prefer the look of stock lights on you car...I reckon I'd finish it off by ripping the skinny, crappy commodore strips off the side...and replace them with VS Calais series 2 or Stateman strips and color code the crome strips in the bumpers or remove them.

btw.. when using niteshade is it applied to the outside or inside of the taillight...?

I applied it to the outside, after cleaning it with turps. For anyone that doens't know what niteshade looks like:

And l've been thinking about colour coding the stripes along with the door handles and mirrors but l just don't have the money to spend on it...

how much did your sideskirstd and rear bar cost incl, paint?
I'm not too sure but l had the whole lower lip kit, the garnish, the bonnet buldge and the grille sprayed and fitted for about a grand. So l can't see it costing anymore then $500.

This is a tricky one, l used eucalyptus oil initially which did an alright job, but the best way is to use an air operated buffer or something along those lines. Using this, the black crap buffed right out. Be careful not to buff so hard that the paint comes off though... Otherwise l've been told that tar and goo removal stuff works wonders!!

BTW, next on the list for me is to lower the back abit more. I'm thinking ultralow springs with some monroe shockies to suit (since l have pretty high pedders atm). I will get my car mafless tuned too, as soon as l can find a vr knock sensor. If anyone has one PLEASE pm me...
