I'm a little surprised to hear that from you :

I was expecting the first 3 things would have been:

Huge rims
DECK IT.
Tint

well.. it depends on your budget lol

the high rollers budget would work well with that.. and mine came tinted hehe..

but yes superlows and a set of 20s with 245/30R20 tyres would go GREAT

Blackers, the washer bottle did need a top up and the cigarette lighter jobby is MIA.
Also a wire was loose from the stacker so it wasn't playing, duct tape and good as new.

But not to gloat, came with new tyres all round (potenza??) and new panel filter/oil filter/full service bout 5000 km's ago.

Tint is first up, then save some pennies for some 4480 pacies + 2.5" redback system....

Turf that woodgrain rubbish, and get the bits modicoated in a much better pattern.

(Got my AU modicoated, and now I need to get rid of the woodgrain in my truck!)

I'm with you there! I've now had at least 4-5 cars in that sort of colour, and while initially I wasn't a fan, I now love it - and the fact that it hides the dirt!

Thinking how unreal it might look with say the woodrain or marble pattern but with a red hue to the background...... www.modicoat.com if anyone is interested.

Yeah, I had stuff done by them, if you go through the patterns and find the snake skin, those bits are mine. Awesome job too.
