Haha actually, I'll be buying an extra panel for the back soon to have it painted black. VX tails will come later on.

Do you mean why NOT do both at the same time?

Because the tails are about $400 new. The panel is about $150, not including paint.

That part if the trunk that is black in the pics is a separate plastic panel.

So, I'm going for something a little different now. More and more looking around I love the look of the Holden CV8R and that's what I'll be replicating.

Here is what it looked like in Oz:

Here is where I'm at. I finally removed the spoiler too! :D

and I know the CV8R badge is in the wrong place... It's too high, I need to remove it and re-put it back on, of course there would be a car out there that doesn't have the badge in the same spot as every other one out there. :/

Thanks to Ghost, I got hooked up with Megan Racing testing out some lowering springs for the GTO.

Well, I went in and had everything done and the ride quality is actually really good. I like it a lot, only thing is... There rear is WAY too low. The front, however, I like at the height it's at.

Here are pics:

They took measurements before and after, they will be manufacturing new rear springs to raise up the rear about a half an inch.

I do really like the ride quality though.

Remember, the wheel well arch in the rear is lower than the front. It may look too low, but the car is evenly low front to rear from what I see.

Looks good.
