I think what you meant to say was "I'll probably put that in soon"

Sorry to be a stickler for perfection but I can't stand that bloody myspace talk.
Nice car by the way, I really miss my EB, it used to be equally as clean as yours but without carbon fibre inside.

Ford really got it right with that colour, plus it suits the XR rims you've got on nicely.

Nice car mate.

nice lookin eb..... The carbon fibre look is pretty good, big fan of the gtp's......Im not a fan of the quadlight setup on the box cars..... I'd leave it off then sell it to someone and use that money for other areas.... ;) tint, extractors or a cam perhaps?

Nice lookin' ride dude. My housemate Sam said he worked with you the other day (big fella, shaved head, goatee) and told me about your car, he said it looked sweet!

With your tailpipe, an easy cheap fix to get it lookin' a little better is to lop about 1-2" off the end of it (as someone said earlier) so it sits a little further under the bumper and doesn't stick out so much. It'll look a bit better until you get a nice tip on there ;)

EDIT: my bad, the exhaust tip idea has been said way more times than i thought, my bad.

Yeah looks good bud. I'm not sold on the CF look - is it just stuck on? The weave in it looks too big. I planned to get it done years ago by http://www.modicoat.com but never bothered.

I wouldn't t waste anymore time or cash on the exterior - it looks sweet on the FPV wheels.

Nice car, I have an EBII Fairmont and yours looks similar to how I hope mine will turn out!

Quick Question however,
How much is it all up to get the suspension done with those Super Lows? Is that Pedder or something?

Ah alright - and you used stock shocks at the same time?

Might give that a go - Pedders wanted $1150 for the job...but I'm not keen to spend that much!
