Hi, This is my first time on here so go easy on me fellas. Actually this is my first ever Holden! I've got an 09 sv6, it's very factory standard and I am wanting to do a couple of things to it;
1. First of all I need to replace the front bar. A huge piece of wood flew off the back of some tradies ute on the motorway, ironically only a week after I bought the car. Not impressed as you can imagine! As a result it has damaged the front bar on one side and removed some paintwork. It also has a few scrapes so I thought I would replace it completely. Will be a cash job, I'm not claiming on insurance. Anyone have any idea about $ cost to replace and fit and where to get it done? I'm on the Gold Coast and work in Brisbane so either city is cool.
2. Also I want a little more sound from the car. Can anyone recommend the best place to go, what needs to be done to increase/improve the sound and how much? Yeh I know I probably should have got an SS but unfortunately I didn't have a lot of choice at the time so will have to settle for a similar sound to an SS on my sv6. Any advise would be appreciated.
3. Getting the windows tinted in a few weeks but not sure how dark to go. Can anyone recommend a car tinting company and also the tint name?
I know these things have probably been done to death in a forum like this but just looking for some good advise and I figured where better to go than here.
Thanks, Damon
