Hey Everyone,

Hope this is the place to post it.

I've attached some pictures of some mods I've done after having a read of this forum.

This car I've had for just under 6 months and I've already had a play around.

1) The day I bought the car (ute in the background)

2) Removed the stock SV6/SS rear diffuser, it had a fake mesh that was impossible to wash haha

3) Replaced it with a Pontiac Style G8 GXP diffuser, still need to remove it again and fix some mounts as its not a direct fit, lots of dremel action

4) Ordered and fitted 2012 Model VE Series 2 Commodore rear tyre spats/deflectors - cost $30 for the pair, 1 screw and two stainless steel pop rivets hold it in for both sides.

5) After reading about smooth bumpers I thought up a easy stylish way of filling in and smoothing the flow of air around instead of into the inset fog light housing, I ended up with a Aluminium Channel, two Stainless 316 Screws and some heavy duty trim push pins with custom cut acrylic panels.

Overall car to date sitting at home

Next mod is a HDT style Carbon Fibre over Fibreglass front upper grille, My thoughts is smaller opening and it might allow me to make a sort of custom active grille shutter behind the opening.

Thanks for looking
