@ Michelle sorry for the delay in answering flat out with work , I think they may be called " Diffusers " the back bumpers if iam reading right , Michelle read up in the exhaust posts & you might find some prices in there in what I have picked up I think the twin exhausts might be around the $ 1000 mark , Michelle are you going to the The Entance Meet ?? " central coast , I read on their post you might be going I live on the central coast so I might pop in to meet some people My hubby said OH NO we can't go untill we have our new wheels & exhaust But hey it dosn't matter dose it everyone starts as a learner hey , It would be good to meet you & the others at a meet . cheers Doreen

Don't worry about the wheels etc the meets are great and might give you some ideas on wheels. I want to fill the car park!!!

[DORA_ANNE]

Thanks Shane I Think it's just a " MAN " thing with hubby likes the car looking good ,

[seventieschick]

@ Doreen No worries! Great to hear from you. Lmao, I had no idea what diffusers were!!! So thanks for that! $1000 - ouch! We got some quotes this week for exhausts, depending on what we get done, they've ranged from $250 to $1200. We really don't want to spend more than $500.

I was gonna ask you if you were going on the Entrance Cruise. Yep, we're going, I think both the kids are coming as well. Our son is 15 and our daughter is 9. Our daughter wants to come for sure and our son says he does too but he could always change his mind at the last minute - he's a teenager after all!!! If he wants to stay home that's fine.... my folks live next door so I don't mind leaving him at home. It would be great to meet you and the others, so yeah I'm really looking forward to it. I really hope you can come.

Lol, yeah I know what you mean. We haven't made any mods except for the spoiler which was put on by the dealer. Might have our exhaust by then but I doubt it. I'm buying the front air dams next week...... can't wait to get them!!! Then we still want to get new wheels and eventually a really good stereo. So don't worry, we'll be in the same boat!

I'll try to PM you but I don't think I'm allowed to yet, not enough posts or something I think. Bye for now! Michelle




@ LZY EYE You've got a point! And lol at wanting to fill up the car park!!!

[LZY_EYE]

I will send you a PM regarding the exhaust.

Awesome to hear you are coming to the meet. I am sorta serious about filling the car park, I want the record off qld for the most cars!!

[seventieschick]

Thanks, Shane, any info/advice regarding the exhaust would be great. So how many do you need to beat QLD?

[DORA_ANNE]

@ Shane could you please send me some infro on the exhaust as well as i would like to replace mine but iam not sure which one is best many thanks , PS what is QLD record ???

[LZY_EYE]

I think it is about 22 or so... I can't remember!!

I reckon if we get about 30 cars would be great!!!!

[DORA_ANNE]

Michelle I have a question what are the " AIR DAMS " ??? I tried to send you a post last night but it crashed on me , I think it;s 20 posts you need to PM you are up there now Have you been up to THE ENTRANCE where the meet is ? it's a nice place , have you thought anymore about your exhaust , I have the LED TAIL LIGHTS brought though the club they look heaps better than the stock one's you will see some at THE ENTRANCE meet , & hubby is trying to talk me into a spoiler catch up soon

Hi Doreen, I sent you a PM, did you get it? Yeah, I had to reach 20 posts!!

I've been to The Entrance, yonks ago. I quite like it up there, but I must admit I'm a South Coast girl!!! I was brought up in the Hurstville area but we always holidayed down the South Coast when I was growing up and still do now. So yeah, we rarely head north so this will be good! Something different!

Yeah, Shane's been really helpful re the exhaust. He's given me lots of good advice and info. Looks like we're gonna go for the rear muffler with a chrome tip.

I checked out your LEDS, they look awesome. I would love some of those as well! I highly recommend a spoiler, we had ours put on by the dealer - I love it!

OK, the air dams. I'm gonna try to post a couple of pics so I can show you. Lol, I don't believe I'm explaining car things to someone on here - I actually know something Anyway, you know on the VR under the foggies, how there are those two extended bits of the bumper that sort of curve in? Well on the VRX you've got ones that flare out, they're the air dams. Sorry I'm not more technical - you're probably wondering what on earth I'm talking about. Check out the pics and see if you know what I mean!!!! Anyway, to me the car looks unfinished without them so they're on the top of my wish list. I contacted David at X Factor and he gave me a really good price - $240 including freight.

Do you get what I mean?

[DORA_ANNE]

Hi Michelle yes i got your PM thank you , Yes I do know what you mean about the air dams You did good explaining it & I like them might invest in some what happens when you order them ? are they painted in the car colour or come primed & are they easy to install ? about the LED TAIL LIGHTS if you want some I beleive ofey still has a few sets left there is a thead with the infro on them , I hated the stock one's & so pleased with the LED LIGHTS Yeah the guys are right it dosen't take long to get the modding itch !!!!!! You did well putting the pictures up Iam still trying to put my car picture on to my my avatar but no luck as yet only clues you can give me michelle thanks heaps

[LZY_EYE]

The airdams come prepainted.

Another option is to buy an ARS front lip. They are fibreglass and come in 2 pieces. They need to be joined with resin and painted.

Just another option.

[seventieschick]

Hey DOREEN, glad you knew what I was waffling on about! They look awesome, huh? I wanted them put on by the dealer at the same time as the spoiler but he said they couldn't put just the air dams on and that the only way to get them was to change the whole bumper or something which was gonna cost way too much so we didn't get them done. I wasn't happy. Obviously that wasn't true, or maybe it was back then, I don't know....

I've seen that LED thread.......... am gonna have to add them to my wish list. Want to get the air dams and exhaust done first and then the wheels so I think my LEDs are gonna have to wait a while

To put a picture in as your avatar you need to upload your pics to a site like photobucket and then link them to your profile - well that's how I do it unless there's another way..... I will PM you.

BTW, really glad you're coming to the meet!

Ciao for now!



Hi SHANE, just curious, but are the Talon air dams called front pods by any chance? I was on their website and they've got something on there called front pods, I'm assuming that they're air dams....... and I'm probably wrong!

Also, are the air dams hard to get on? Did you do yours yourself or did you get someone to put them on for you? Kal wants to give them a go but I'm not so sure......... I'd rather take them somewhere to have them put on professionally if that's possible. Thanks!

[DORA_ANNE]

Thank you Shane the airdams seem to be the easest way & less hassel ? hope to catch up with you at The Entrance Shane & get a pointers cheers Doreen

[LZY_EYE]

Something pretty drastic would have to happen to stop me going!!

See you there
