that wing cost the same as the other bodykits added together, but not many ppl like it  . anyway, the one on the bonnet is called a bonnet scoop or bulge. the kit (front bumper,rear bumper, side skirt, bonnet scoop.. is from a VN SS group A, it is replica becuase real item will cost too much. i think it will cost about NZ1000 - 1500 for the whole thing added together. the one between the lights is called 'Grill', the one i got is SV3800 grill. Group A do have a grill that goes with whole kit, its big cover up one though.
if u want to put the kit, be sure to lower the car and get big wheel, because the kit will make the car look too fat , it meant to go with at least 17" and lowered to look nice^^
u can buy the bodykit from any good bodykit shop. i am not sure where u can get in Australia, but i am sure there is lot of places u can get for. SPOILER shop or Bodykit shop. look in the commodore megazine, u will find some good shop there.
Cheers

i think u need to get a commodore VN repair manual from book shop^^, i used to have one, its very handy, u will need it:).
logically u remove the radiator hose (bottom one) to drain the coolent out, put radiator hose back on and then top up with new coolent.
i dont do that kinda service myself as i always get car services at shop.
no worry about all da question, i help what i can help^^
there should be some sites on the net which will guide u step by step of how to do those things.

i am good thx madsav
my commodore was a V6 commodore, and i used to have a twin muffler (fake) which take the twin pipe from the end muffler and extend one to the other end . its the cheapest way to go twin with v6 .
this muffler are all customised from front to end, which costed me around 4000-5000 ish, with full system HPC coated (1000 worth). i had problem with fat 3.5" pipe going from to the back and up around the rear diff housing. need to watch out for clearence or else ur muffler wont go far). the car dont look that low, but muffler clearence at bottom are only 5cms. wanna go lower but i guess thats it for me >< .
u need to remove ur petrol tank if u are going for a twin, that means u have to move ur fuel tank some where else.
i suggest if u want most cost affective way for a twin, just split the end muffler in 2, and extend to each side, but the problem is u need a rear skirt to cover the piping^^.
nice to see commodores on da web. good luck with ur muffler

Its great to see some really tuff cars on the web. That is one mean fuker. Hate to think what it must have cost...but i guess those of us building cars don't add these things up, best not to know. 550rwhp is awesome, is that on the bottle? Thats more than the big block that I'm putting in my car.

:thx for ur comments it is true those of us who build cars dont add the cost up, it is pointless, its the end product that we want. p.s. more money dont mean better car rite?
we crazy car freaks can pay big bucks to build the car we want. obviously money not an issue.
the 550rwhp is just an safe estimate RWHP (better be conservitive then bluffing rite?). in reality, the engine is built for close to 600HP, plus nos support safely up to 200HP at least. the real number need to see on the dyno. however, last dyno test killed my rear tire without even switch on the nos. (doing a dyno SHOOTOUT, i dont expect that tire chunks really do SHOOTOUT from the rear tire, now i know what dyno shoot out really means, FUK, 285/30 ZR18 tires costed $1000 EACH!).

in my history of building cars, quite a bit of money goes down the toilet. like the dyno 'tyre' SHOOTOUT, i losted 2000 for a $50 dyno ..... 
my last engine was 6400, that one down da toilet too, becuase of an bad engine builder.
we learn from our mistake tho
thats what adds up |
