Ok peoples, iam slowly but surely progressing thru my list of mods i wanna do on this car, have just had it lowered and am paint the calipers this weekend.
Here is a list of what i've done so far:
King superlows on front, lows on back
Cat back exhuast to cannon muffler
17" AMG VXR Rims
K&N panel
De-badged, clear tails, clear sides
Decent stereo
Ok here's where i need the help, where should i go to from here, here is a list of the things people have said i should do next, what do ya's reckon?
Colour code skirts and mirrors white like the rest of the car
Front grill mods (maybe a colour change or meshing)
Remove spoiler...
TJ bootlid changeover for the new tail lights
VRX bodykit....
Extractors
SO ANY IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO NEXT?
The car is running like an absolute dream right now, just got the auto transmission serviced and iam more happy with it than i have ever been....anyone who is holding back on getting your ride lowered.....DONT!

yep you will definetely feel the difference with some good new shocks.
From that list i would definetely paint the skirts first! It makes such a massive difference!
dont do the TJ boot lid conversion, i want to do it!! lol Actually i have been keeping an eye out for a KJ verada GTVi bootlid (i can dream).
But in all honesty dont bother removing the wing, just buy a new TJ boot, it wouldnt be much difference in price (unless you like to have holes in your boot). Or heyyyyy you could buy my white wingless boot :cool:

i'd colour code....
leave the changing of boot for down the track... u and tim-e only doin it to get the taillights
when maybe in a few months time they might make some for us guys so dont have to convert... :doubt:
heres to hoping save us time and $$ :P (positive thoughts)

Sway bar from www.whiteline.com.au not quite sure of price though, email them for a quote.
Strut brace will make a nice difference too

extractors :cool:
for sure
i second that.
as for the suspension: strut brace bar.
After looking at the pics of velocity's ride I reckon once you've done some of the sus mods a body kit would be on the shopping list :cool:

I'd be doing the shocks and sway bars before strut brace. They make a s*#tload more difference in overall performance of handling of the car.
why dont you get a sports wagon kit on your sedan? it'd be different, then get headers and colour-code your mirrors, i agree with the TJ bootlid idea, TJ boot lids are way cooler, then colour-code your little grill and throw some black mesh behind it, better yet, get a verada grill and make the outside white and leave the inside fins chrome.. i havent seen that before.. but if you'd rather give your car go then make it pretty suspension definantly, it'll make your car faster since you can corner harder and better, get some koni's, a rear swaybar and a brace, braces are under $200, sway bars are around $150 and your koni's would be almost as much as the sports wagon kit, if not on par. (depending on what you get of course)

i much rather the VRX kit. its just that with the sports wagon kit, the wheel flares dont join up to the skirt, it just looks a bit too tacked on. If u got the sports wagon kit, get the vrx skirts to just finish it off a little better
