ok here aer some new pics of the XR8, got it lowered over the weekend, the fronts need to settle, i put SL all round, due to the amount of highway driving i do on these shitty central qld roads, also got slotted rotors all round aswell, just gotta fit the back ones, but i got a annoying gridning/crunching sound coming from the front left hand side of the car, was there before we lowered it and its still there :x oh yeah tinted the tail lights and side repeaters aswell, i wont take inside pics coz it looks like a tip at the moment.

Mate, I love it!! Taillights look mint, why would anyone get altezza's over tinted? Except for the fact you may get pinged by the cops, tho Ive had a few cops following me and they've never bothered me, tho I dont think mine are quite as dark as yours. Still going with the Raptor?

the lights are still fairly bright, i was suprised, mine arent dark compared to half the ones around here, will try to get some night pics of them, thanks for the comments, up close its a little worse haha, the roof is fucked, clear has come off the nosecone, side skirts and back bumper, motor plans i am not too sure ay, raptor is a no go due to my wedding in may lol, yeah the tint is 35% i want 18% all around one day or the green tint, got a spoilerless boot lined up for it aswell, being a daily and the car we do all the travelling it, it has had a hard live, already hit one roo in it, a couple owls, a dog( it got up and sprinted off).
Racked up over 5000km in a matter of 6 weeks at one stage

well all plans with the XR8 have come to a complete stop, i am selling it after the baby is born as its shitting me up the wall, got a offer for $3500 from my fiances cousin, who will strip it and put all the good shit onto a XH ute, and hopefully sold the mags for $700

so we will only have the fairmont ghia until april next year then sell that one too, getting a 100series cruiser for $20k, deal is that we pay off whats remaining on the lease, seeing these cars go for $35k 2nd hand we are def taking it up,
