What have you done to it besides the height wheels dvd player and boot..What are ur intentions on the boot 2. I can see 2 boxes there are u putting 2 12's in there? wat equipment u putting in it. Mad colour, like the ss. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Wasnt too bad but. I painted the lower skirts black tinted windows/lowered exhaust etc etc. But i chased up some cheap vr/vs calais seats i think i got a good set complete for $150, + the console and that set the car right off. Good idea. Also with the kicker subs a mate of mine has a black vt commodore and bought the dual kicker vr's the black and yellow ones in the one box for the 2 12's..he pulled them out and put them into to seperate boxes which were designed to sit where the taillights bolt in, in each corner giving maximum boot room + he had a gas tank in there too. Once he removed them from their original box and put them into the 2 single boxes there was great dissapointment with the sound quality. Just a heads up.

yeah i've been told a few things about changing sub boxes and the way i have the set up that i'm building. i guess if it doesn't sound that great i'll just sell the custom box and try something different. not much else i can do to be honest

hey they look pretty good man, well the back anyway. Out of wat model and series calais are they from man... They dont look to bad at all. Iv'e forever been trying to find good cheap caprice seats but never can (cheap enough anyway) haha. For your lighting mate shoouldnt be a problem, just tap into your door button interior sensor (when u open ur doors and the interior light comes on) and run it off that ?? theres one on every door so u wont have 2 run much cable...just an idea? Im sure theres a different way to do it but thats probably the way i would go anyway?

Thanks mate. They came out of a 96 vs Calais. Dno what series. Just be pateint when your looking and have the money ready so when you find them you can snap them up straight away. Yeah all the wiring and stuff is far beyond me lol I'll wait until someone is free to give me a hand

Do u think its silly if i decide to put vs clubsport trim into my statesman and will it bolt straight up without having any gaps. When u put statesman interior into a standard sedan u need to modify the rear seat to fit it, so if u do the opposite would there be any gaps or anything showing that shouldnt normaly be there?
