    Looks mint. Only suggestion I have is maybe black out the internals of the driving lamps to match the black headlights

    Thanks man, I too thought about leather when buying this. But I drove one with leather, and the suede felt more comfortable and in my opinion looks better... Plus I dont get burnt when I leave it out in the sun lol

    Wouldn't go as far as calling it the nicest in Aus, but it is clean. Nice power figure.
    About the leather, after having both trims in Stato's and now I've got a Caprice, theres no way I could go back to suede.

    Need to get some coin to mod mine sleep.gif

    Looks so mint mate love the statos. Only thing I would change is maybe some wider tires? Although that might cause scrubbing issues.

    53XXN_ST80
    Post #22

    Yeah, I used to run these in the hyper silver centre with 255/35's. Wasn't too bad, but when I nailed it the tyres would scrub on the inner guard... The offset is nearly perfect inside n out. So decided to run 245/35's with these ones.

    Also the car was only mafless tuned with a standard auto and 3.07 diff when I ran 10's previously. Squats alot harder now with 3.9's, cam and a built auto tongue.gif
