    No need to remove wheels/hubs in an IRS commodore, just unbolt the CV shafts and tailshaft from the diff, and the diff support bracket/mount bracket.

    Yeah KPM tips.

    both holes get flow but the outside ones get more for some reason......everyone thinks the inside ones are fake but they do work.

    usually clean them once a week (when I clean the car) but they gets stretched out in winter.....this was at a mates shack so didn't have anything to clean them with before the shot

    a lot of people seem to notice this, maybe I should photoshop them both clean ;)

    Nice car mate, what did it cost you to getthe rear spoiler painted and where did you buy it? was it just one of the ones on ebay?

    Cheers

    Do you mean The GT stripes on the spoiler?

    they are vinyl....was done by signlab in Adelaide

    not sure on the price for getting just the spoiler done....got all the stripes done at the same time for $660

    I really like it without the spoiler - for some reason it just looks awesome on the VE's.

    yeah me too....I don't think the VE body line flows with a spoiler....I reckon it looks wider and lower at the rear without it

    You have a very tasteful attention to detail - I really like the black badges I've always wanted to do mine but then I wondered how to put them back on.

    the front bar been sagging a bit ever since I got the SS....heard that a pool noodle between the front bar and the bar support can hold it in place so thought I would give it a crack!

    the noodle is between the bar support and the flat part of the bumper just under the front grill so no air is being blocked and now she sits nice and tight!!
