cheers, it was one of the first thing's put on the "to do list" when i looked at the car.
they blend in well with the black paint & chrome theme and give it a more menacing look i think.

Just get some of those 17" BF G8 wheels, factory tough!

by **bentls** » July 6th, 2010, 6:24 pm

ive said it before and ill say it again... chrome headlights suck ass.... gthofan take note of those pics. dead sexy steve!

dont put wheels on it, dumped on stock wheels is the bomb. ive seen a few barges with bonnet buldges now, and they put the G badge or whatever it is at the front on them, or the tall one, and they look fucking SEX

Yeah I was going to say the same.

IMO stick with the LTD's. Looking good so far, why change it.

by **EF ECTIV** » July 6th, 2010, 10:19 pm

by **Parfrey** » July 6th, 2010, 10:57 pm

will be tuff with a big exhaust on it

by **LOW_XR** » July 6th, 2010, 11:15 pm

by **KR1STO** » July 6th, 2010, 11:16 pm

Can't wait to see it at heathcote!!

by **SLY5LT** » July 6th, 2010, 11:36 pm

there's still a fair bit to do to it yet !!!!
new rim 's will come....one day,
as i'm not going to fork out $88 every time one of the locals rip's one of the centre cap's off :glare:

by **KR1STO** » July 6th, 2010, 11:38 pm

hey steve.. one question mate..
anyway you can get some underbody shots of the new exhaust when it's done...? :grin:

by **SLY5LT** » July 6th, 2010, 11:42 pm

i'll be going in late tomorrow with camera in hand

by **KR1STO** » July 6th, 2010, 11:45 pm

great!!!
thanks mate....

by **SLY5LT** » July 7th, 2010, 8:44 pm

well my new plate's came in today, after many trip's to aust-post (as they had missplaced them).

the exhaust was also done today, it'll grow on me...being a 5.4, as i love the sound of a 5.0.
a couple of pic's (mid install).....

it's a bit of a jump going from a single 2 1/4 to a twin 2 1/2.
it'll be good to see what it run's on the 1/4 mile in a couple of week's.

by **burnt turtle** » July 7th, 2010, 8:54 pm

very nice mate, how many mufflers?
i wana hear it, like mine but you have back pressure

by **SLY5LT** » July 7th, 2010, 9:14 pm

the cat back part is the same as "MrCVEs'" system (before the turbo went on) with 2 muffler's in the stock position's, in which with a tune he got 235rwkw from memory ?
i've got tomorrow off....i'll call by your work :grin:

by **SLY5LT** » July 8th, 2010, 4:22 pm

the plate's are now on.... which give's it a clean look.
once the paint is done it'll look smick !!!!

by **pHaT`eL** » July 8th, 2010, 4:58 pm

by **KR1STO** » July 8th, 2010, 5:00 pm

it's deep'ish :grin:

i have'nt been able to give it s good squirt yet (to much traffic) it sound's ok from inside...
i'll let my bro drive it tonight to see what it's like from outside the car.
as you can see in the pic (the white section) is off a XR8, as he was pushed for time to get it done yesterday...
so i'll have to rebook it in for that section with the balance pipe.
a big thanks to barney at hallam performance for doing the system :drinks2:
