I like the cream interior. Not sure about the mods but I'm not a car-mod type of guy. I maintain them clean and original, much cheaper. However what I'D do is......

- no body kit
- ditch the spoiler
- cool sound system
- when possible, re-install supercharger badges
- lower it a tiny bit
- spend rest of money rectifying any mechanical, trim, body, electrical gremlins you may find.......i bet you'll find 'em.....

VTs are worth nothing

people don't like the idea of large big fuel hungry sixes... good buying out there to be honest

Hahaha I know VT's arnt worth **** but the market value on this is $10,000 according to AAMI. For 3 grand I was laughing, gotta love the old man for having his connections.

Yeah I like the simple look too but I like to make it my own personal car :p I'm thinking no kit, no spoiler, dumped and sigs are the way to go for me.

I still have the internationals as they are dads fave rim so I can't get rid of them :p, I'm driving around on them
At the moment until I can get new 19 inch tyres.

As for the exemption I applied fornit online as this make and model commodore is avalible for application. :D

What are your thoughts on the cover? :p
