thats a nice looking verada
i'd say leave it the way it is, well after your new mods are done
yes i would get rid of the stone chip guard and only use it if your driving on country roads
has it got tinting? if not some dark tinting will finish it off nicely :D

Its just got the tinting that came on in (dunno what %, but definitely darker than untinted models ive seen), which has got a bit of wear and tear, nothing major though.

Will probably get around to a re-tint someday, but at the moment rather sort out the Major Cosmetic stuff such as boot/grille etc then ill start to perfect the little details.

Get rid of the bonnet protector.. unless you really need it.. Really degrades the look of the car imho..

Oh, and get that KH Xi grill.. will improve the look 10000x!

Dunno bout the woodgrain with purple.. ive never been mad keen on woodgrain.. But its in top condition.

I love wood grain whoever thought of putting wood in a car was a genious! looks so good with leather. maybe add a leather wheel, shifter and hand brake.

Looking good! The 19" Sabers really suit a lowered 3rd Gen well :)

']Get rid of the $4 steering wheel cover

lol

$4 spot on! lol

I have it because otherwise the steering wheel feels too thin for my liking. Waiting until I see something classier that will make the wheel as thick as the current cover.

The later KL- wheels are much thicker and have more contouring to them. Maybe you can find one of them. Ive never seen that colour before either, its very purple. But looking good.

I know, the colour is wicked. Its pretty much just burgundy (Paint LQ I believe) except its been parked in the sun all day every day for the last 10 years and seems to have affected the paint in a good way for a change.

Looks the good man. As mentioned, tint it and you'll be right, along with the grill.
