Hot pink and black don't really match. Why don't you try a lipstick red? Oh yeah and neons are illegal in nz. Have dealt with traffic related offences in my line of work. Not to say that you couldn't have a switch nearby that dimmer dial for the dash lighting....Or to replace that annoying blue back light on the instruments....

Yeah went to v8s and rotors as well. Convoy met up at beforehand, bugger all 8s though. Mmmm perhaps a convoy of 8s to the nats...

Do you angle correctly into your driveway? proper angling helps you get up the scariest things :D

also not a huge fan of that wheel style unless you are super aggressive...take a look at the 8s in the media gallery to get an idea what wheels work better with stock height(not a lot look good at stock height either though lol)

Cool

I've tried every which angle that I possibly can, its bit of an awkward uphill driveway + parking space.





I don't mean neon lights, rather, pink xenon headlights....... but Im sure they're not legal anyways
