Brought the commodore for my first car for about $12,000 with 79,000 kms on the clock Dec 2010, when i brought the car i had little mechanical expierance and didnt know anything about modifying commodores but since than I have started my apprenticship as a Diesel Fitter and work on light vehicles and machinery, so now I've learnt alot mechanic wise and want to start modifying my vy acclaim, I have alot of plans but on a apprentice wage it might take awhile but should be worth it.

any advice would be great especially on the plans I've made for the body work

heres my VY before any mods

Looks good man. I honestly don't like the rims, but it's not my car haha!

You got it a bit expensive, but the k's are low also so i guess it's a gain.

EDIT: BTW, the SSX bar isn't too bad, but it's starting to get more popular.

Yea Im planning on buying new rims soon, the ones on there now are just ones I swopped a mate for, remember I was talking to you about the rims on your ride ? im looking for something similar

and yea i like the ssx front just hope the clubsport sides and rear will match it.
