    I am pretty sure he is upgrading to bigger turbos.

    Hey T-Kiwi how much did it cost you to get the red reflectors on your car painted black? I am trying to decide between black monaro tail lights or the back garnish of a VX Calais, VX HSV, etc, Looking at your VX is really making me think about the black monaro lights more with those black reflectors .

    a permanent thick black one mate, no problems with washing or anything, just apply another coat every six months

    you need to make sure you have reflectors in your tail lights though cos apparently it is illegal to cover the ones in the bumper due to none being in the original VX SS

    Ah ok thanks for that information.

    So the black monaro tail lights you have on have reflectors? I have seen a couple of black monaro tail lights for sale on e-bay for $150-$200 but not sure if they have reflectors or not.
