Good looking car mate. Do the ASR dash conversion as one of your first mods. You will not regret it. Best mod available to a V6 I reckon.

 

[Nic92]

that is a nice looking colour/car

 

[Stefan23]

Thanks guys!

Yeah ASR would be on top of the list, but as I'm in Adelaide there isn't as much interest for Phreddy to come down yet. Never mind, it will happen one day.

Here are a few more photos from a night shoot.

So had a few things done to the car since.

Exhaust Technology put a 2.5" Red Back Cat Back Exhaust System on with twin tips.

Ebay delivered some blue LED bulbs, fitted into interior lights, glove box and boot. Fits in nicely with my Silver/Blue theme. Planning on purchasing some LED strip lighting for the footwells soon too, maybe one for the boot too.

Finally a long exposure shot, just after raining and playing around with a few external light sources. (No I didn't install neons!, nor is it Photoshopped)

Oh, also purchased SS/SV8 headlights and installed them too, no pictures yet, but soon.

I like your car, exact same as mine
edit: cept mines auto

Do you remember what fitting type the interior light bulb was? I wanna get a white LED one for mine, just not sure which fitting it is.
And good work on getting the SS headlights...totally changes the look of the front I reckon. Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

Love it mate!

Take off the rear spoiler, the VY/VZ's look so clean without it ay... I did mine and I'll never look back!

And don't touch the altezza's in my opinion just stick to SS tailights for sure

 

[Stefan23]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Essassin already sent you a PM re: LED light blubs, yeah the new headlights match the black parts on the front bumper nicely.

jr689 thanks for the advice on the Altezzas, been warned by a few more people now. I've toyed with the idea of taking off the spoiler, but I do like it a lot on the car, so for now it will stay, but I might do some shots without it for the day.

Cheers

Went out last night, took some more photos but wasn't feeling the best. (quality reflects that)

Finally a shot with my new headlights

Finally, a mate noticed my subs in the lighting conditions at the time and told me to get a shot.
