Give us an idea of what you want...
Interior Exterior Performance? $1500 would nearly see a Custom Edit. Or a decent set of 18s. Or a decent stereo. How about some little things: - Momo Steering Wheel - Momo Gear Knob - Good set of Leads & Plugs - New Springs Just an idea... Also, I really suggest you don't smoke in such an awesome car. Your just devaluing it.

Stopped already dude, I dont want to root the interior
As for the tune, I've already got a flasher on the way with a semi custom tune, I wont get custom tune till i've finished with engine mods. Stereo i'm sort of over, Old car had 2 x 10in subs + 2 x 1000w amps + 240w rear 6x9 + 220w splits in the front. Dont need the doof doof anymore lol Will a good set of leads & plugs make any diff? How much for a set of Extractors & What type so you think? Diff Gears I dont want to change. I suspect the police may have changed them as it revs at 2300rpm in 5th gear at 100kph

Mine revs about the same so all good there if you have a edit on the way. only leaves the Zorst or a good CAI .. in my case the jury is still out on the need for differant Headers cat back works good , thing is to get the most from the edit it should have a custom tune after the mods are finished .. (my 2cents anyways }

Does anyone know where I can get some cobra style stripes. The ones that start at the front of your car and head over the bumper, bonnet, roof, boot, spoiler, rear bar.
Or do I have to get them custom made?

I reckon no stripes. Just preference though. If already geting a tune, get some extractors, might have enough left over for a cam also? Don't know what cost for these are for au xr8 but thats probably what i'd do myself.

Dont get stripes mate, i agree with austin go with the little things like the momo gear ie wheel, shifter. Chrome door handles. If you like them an XR50 front they look quite nice. btw im the guy with the blue TE that was next to urs at Wagga
