Its been a while so I thought I'd update some photos. I now have tinted tail lights, vertical quarter venetians, white door handle inserts, one rear power window is in and the front has been raised abit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i still reckon the director style tail lights look heaps better. theres too much white to just have a big strip of black in the middle, looks kinda out of place. car still looks nice man, the vertical venetians look beter. why did u raise the front?

I was having troubles on full lock, mostly going up driveways but even on uneven roads, I wrecked my left front guard as a result anyways. Not much has changed since Ive last been on. Just put the calais tail light moulds on and most likely going to put the tail lights and garnish on to suit

yeah i know but i thought it might have been abit too much white. Might go back to them not sure. I had the player installed at autobarn but it sits nice and doesnt hit anything or stick out heaps

nah man just go full on white, looks tuff and is something different. oh ok then coz i thought it would have to stick out heaps for it to clear the air vents, might go to my local autobarn and see what they say.

Been a while since Ive been on. Not much happened to the car lately, replaced the tail lights as i broke one and the lenses were starting to fall off. Had a set of aftermarket SL/Exec style which I made look like my old ones. Also got VE GTS Replica 20s (which I will be painting soon due to scratches) and white walls Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
