exhaust (2 1/2" mandrel bent lukey catback with no rear resonator) with twin dumpers tip
EL xr6 rear seats which i picked up for $40

if u still got the stockies and if they still have some tread, get some gloss black enamel paint spray them and chuck them on, will look better than snowflakes, even just give the stockies a clean.

hey thanks
dash is fairly simple just takes a bit of time and fiddling around with. it's just mainly changing around the filters and the actual globes themselves to the colour led u want ;-)

globes are cheap as jaycar sell them for about $1-$2 each and ebay pack of 10 for $15 - $20
cluster when i bought was about $80 but since then the seller has raised the prices to about $200
