    i didnt realise your car was that low, but yeah man looks real clean without the bumper strips. keep it up man, its getting there.

    is it just me or does the car colour look abit more cream and the bumper white? might just be the photo.

    thanks heaps for the feedback guys, and yeah its looking pretty dirty atm, and it seems to have heaps of dings and scratches. it seems ive had bad luck with hail storms and bad drivers haha. definately needs a paint touchup!

    thanks man, feels good hearing that haha

    haha its not actually that low, where i park at home is an angled driveway so it just clears it. :p

    and i cant really see the colour difference? is the cream colour on the bonnet? thats the only part ive changed cause of hail damage.

    the rear muffler was sitting 25mm too low, everywhere around the car was alright height, so nothing else.

    soo i dont need to get a roadworthy so im happy about that haha. lucky and unlucky at the same time.

    just going to take it to the exhaust shop tomorrow and see if they can mount it up a little higher, if not ill have to chuck the rear springs back in.

    that sucks mate, your car must be sitting fairly low if they defected you for it, ive never had a trouble with cops and i thought mine was pretty low.

    hopefully defect gets cleared soon and the mods keep coming.

    it never really looked defect-worthy low to me at all, but ah well, sh*t happens.

    UPDATE
    been a while since I posted, havent done anything to the car lately as I broke my jaw last week and have been bumming around at home doing nothing. Got the defect cleared and after paying my fine am starting to save moneys for my car again haha :)

    im thinking ill leave the car as is for now, maybe put the springs in later on down the track or buy some sl's

    been a while since I posted, plans for the car have been put on a to-do list due to being 'in-between' jobs.

    after putting stock springs back in it feels like driving a freaking 4wd :(
    and I replaced my rear wheels ;) cause they were gone. but no hatin im getting them replaced in the next few weeks!

    and got some new led globes for the dash, way brighter then my old ones and they do the job! the middle right globe doesnt work but hey, who goes over 140k's? ;) thats a joke, i dont speed.

    the trim for the doors only cost me about $40 from ebay, pretty good steal, but the chrome on the rear quarter windows has to come with the window itself, and i found a pair at the wreckers and only paid $25.

    so it can be pretty cheap but you just have to have a look around and be patient.

    but yeah chrome would look real good on your colour car :thumbsup:

    haha yeah? i never saw it on your car, saw it on a few others and thought why not? looks pretty cool.
    i had the venetians up and everything but then got hit with my defect so i want be as un-cop-noticeable as possible for a while haha, stockies dont help but.


    i dont think so :/ when i bought the door trims the seller gave me the trim from the window but i dont think its possible to swap them, i see no way for it to come off
