Definitely do it man, you wont regret it. Easily makes the car look so much more modern. The black handles really stick out. I mean you get used to them but in white looks much more classy.

Yeah Eddey, I think an updated Before and After pic is needed.
Im thinking of going to the same spot for the new updated pic. That means a good windy stretch in the hills and a bit of freeway driving!
Keeen!

Update time!

Some very exciting things have happened since I last updated you all on here.

Firstly I've completed my White LED speedo and switches upgrade. Much much better than the stock dull orange.

I've also put some more lighting around the car.
So as it stands: LED Strips in the front and rear footwells, under the ashtray, around the ignition barrel, in the door cards and also under the door card sills.

I've hooked these all up so that when the doors are swung open, the lights come on and turn off again when the doors have been shut.
Love the attention I get at night when the under of my doors light up. I had one guy in a commodore with a priceless expression the other night at a maccas carpark! lol
Gives me a smile everytime I see my cabin and doors light up! Love it!

Next on the cards is a set of Angel eyes and a black roof.

First I'll be ordering the Angel eyes (Approx in the next 24hrs) getting excited for the new look.

The black vinyl roof is an experiment. If I like it, it stays. If I don't too easy.. the Vinyl peels off :P

Thats all for now folks just a bit of an update!

Cheers
