MY09 VE SS M6
Had a go with Leatherique "Rejuvenator Oil" and "Prestine Clean", which is probably total overkill for Holden "I can't believe it's not vinyl" leather found in the VE. But is sure as **** it works, the seats feel a lot better, the leather surfaces have give to them now. The fronts are going to get a second treatment to work out some more of the wrinkles but it's already like a new car compared to what it was.

SSV tail lights are in, no pic tho.

Done 3000 kms since last registration, I clearly need to drive it more.

More progress. Don't tell the girlfriend how much money this crap costs...

GM Motorsport REX 1 3/4 equal length 4-1 headers - high flow cats - bolts right up to the X-Force catback the car came with, which means I now have a fully stainless exhaust setup. Sounds purposeful - eliminated the idle drone I used to have and hollers pretty hard when you get going. Car feels stronger just off the little test drive I did.

G8 diffuser. Tried fitting it awhile back but didn't work out. Took the bumper off this morning to get it right. Re-used the stock securing scrivet things on the inside of the bar to make it secure.

And making sure it didn't fall off by going for lunch.
