Car is currently still registered to prove that it runs fine
  4. Correct, but if you did not buy your car out of factory - the lights can often be replaced with a xenon housing but no ballasts. Or even non-xenon housing I damaged mine & bought non-xenon ones. And just bought & installed HIDs
  5. Jesus. Almost caused a black-out trying to load that picture. Must you make it so big!? Yea, definitely replicas. But pay attention to fine details, e.g. fendors & mesh Definitely post up when you're done - would like to see a successful project. Then paint it bayside blue to make up for what I didn't do lol Re headlights: yup, yours look Xenon to me. The outermost globes should be circular (and say xenon on the headlights near the base lol..). From what I know (don't quote me on this, I will hold legal liability) the shape is the same, so it will fit with the kit. The ballast is also the same. The only difference is the reflector & reflector arc inside. But I don't think that's going to make a big difference - not enough to pay thousands for GTR xenons anyway. Ps. Yea... my car was once clean too...
  6. Thanks Not too shabby - although I had wanted it Bayside blue, but the paint job was 3-4 times as much. Not sure how many kidneys that is haha Regarding converting it to a GTR Z tune rather than a GTT Z tune: I had looked into doing that. But it came down to too much effort & $ as well. - You'll need to get GTR guards to fit the bonnet + front bar. So it will be wide like the GTR - however I'm unsure about if they're legal where you're living. - Also need GTR headlights - which may set you back ~ $1400 - If i recall correctly, you'll need to adjust the latches for your GTR bonnet. You can get GTT Z tune style bonnet to fit your GTR bar/guards, but it's shorter and so you get a small gap in the front between the bonnet & front bar (between the headlights-ish) - Custom wide rear bar needs to be made, & as you've mentioned I've also been told about light fitting difficulties Basically things will never be perfect because it essentially wasn't MADE to fit, and "custom" moulds aren't always perfect. I guess it also comes down to whether your panel beater can chisel away at parts to make it look more snug. BUT if you're willing to spend much much more (approximately 3 times as much) you'll be able to get a decent job. Check out East Bear. I've heard of your mentioned companies but haven't personally heard or seen amazing results from them. Possibly because it's cheaper to simply buy a GTR lol. Before you buy though, make sure someone else has used them (RECENTLY) & you're happy with how it has turned out. Mine was the cheapest it could be done. Bar - ~$600 Bonnet ~ $600 Skirts ~ $300 Rear ~ $300 (Bought from SAU member) Respray of kit only $2000 Headlights ~ $1400 Suppose if I was intending to keep the car for long i'd put more effort in. But she'll be sold soon Hope this helps!
  7. Hey all, To summarise - it wasn't an easy process. Purchased front bar from JSAI. My tip: The bar itself was good, however you WILL NOT hear from Josh for MONTHS. I paid & was told 2 weeks. After a month, Josh was not responding to any attempts to communicate. Basically I was extremely annoyed & had to get the fuzz involved - to which weeks later the bar did arrive. So for your own peace of mind, I would NOT recommend JSAI. Go to warehouses that use JSAI as their stocker - it will cost more but you'll get your item. Bonnet from Carmate - DO NOT use Carmate for rear bars.. or actually anything really. Their moulds are not great & 1 in 100 will actually fit. Mine wasn't a snug fit but I had gone through too much sh*t to be bothered to get a new bonnet. I decided to buy a rear Bomex - personal preference because not a fan of the z. Eyelids from eBay. + Respray. Total cost of project: ~$5600 Final Advice - BE CAREFUL of private sellers. Others & myself were scammed - I went to the police, filed statements & kept pushing them. 8 months later I got my $1100 (Lucky, I know) Attached picture if before eyelids + HIDs
  8. On this topic: Any recommendations for paint free dint repairs located in Melbourne? Based on affordability as well as the quality of the repair Not from this incident
  9. @ Cozi's comment. That's really embarrassing Ash

  10. All I need is a moustache and I'm officially a man = {D .. that's a moustache if you didn't notice.. lol She's not ready yet! If you go now it'll be this big pile of ugly mess. He should be done by Fri/Sat. On top of the paint job and assembly, i also had to replace the reo and beat the radiator bar out. AND install new headlights. So it may take a while I forgot to ask, are you doing anything to your car atm? Did the group buy go through?
  11. haha I thanks Charles! Well now that I've experienced it all, I will know for the future The kit is getting assembled & painted by Vu as we speak, so I will def post up pics when it's done. Haven't had my baby for nearly 2 months, thank God GT5 exists
