The EL Ghia badges do look good on a lot of the EA-EDs. Unfortunately they looked repulsive on mine, which is why I went back to the shields. I reckon they'd look great on your's though Kyle.

Looking very good mate.

alot better overall inside and outside. Should get the back slightly lower though and i agree with only the tocky badges on the side or have u even thought of the BA ghia badge and ticky wings? They are both small....might work out for u.

2nd diff's are either awesome. or shit.. if you drive it hard. you'll most likely screw it.. ;)

i got sick of 10 2nd diffs in my ea.. so i bought a custom 3.5 centre / mini spool 28 spine / el axles

cost me $790 all up.. 10 2nd diffs at 200 a pop for lsd's... sometimes 100 - 150.. i never blew that centre. or snapped a axle.. every day i was sideways. every 2nd day changing rear tyres.. if not twice a day... i twisted my left one but that was it.

if you dont mine the lock. and you look now and doing giving it a boot.. either get a brand new lsd centre and pop it in there around 1.5k i think
or change ya tires every 3 - 5 mths on normal driving cause of the lock.. i choose the lock. but with the new laws and red p plates.. i dont know if its worth getting a lock... there way to strict on you new guys out there these days
