So fitted one of the trims, realised the brand new door vent i purchased off ebay was not 25i but 15i. So thought stuff it, set the boys up at work and went to two pick a parts, first one had bugger all 25is but managed to get heap of the plastic door plugs and screws. Second one had bugger all 25i’s and just as i was giving up hope i found it, a grandpa speck 25i.

The door vents never been touched no paint scratched off them etc. No P plater had hacked at them. So carefully removed them and gave them a good clean. I also took the glove box as my one had few scratches from life as work ute.

Mental note dont look closely at vs trim its shit house haha, nothing lines up 100% and every trim piece depending on the plastic is a slightly different shade. Very happy with the trim, yes the kicker speakers are a bit hectic ill paint the covers black.

Loving the leather, now off to get the tint redone as its rooted. Be interested to see now with door trims and all the sound deadening what its like inside now.

Ill try get some good pics during the day

New trims have finally been finished, had the colours changed from 15i to 25i and had the arm rests done in black leather. Should look good as have black carpets and plastics in the ute.

Activity is what keeps it alive, eve if its rubbish activity no one wants to post if no one will reply etc just commodores is very busy so i dont think forums are dead. Over moderating can kill the forums and lack of people with knowledge. Vn ss forum died as well i think because all they cared about was fb

Shame if it were not for sc would never of done my ute!!

Fb is useless, any one can be an expert on there. The forums are more personal and you know who is an expert and who thinks they are.

yea Jc is strange as in you get a ban for even mentioning another forum. Useless for tec info tho

Looks good mate, Gary could you do one for a 3 speed?! id buy one for sure!

No but this guy can as he made it, and its a perfect fit, i literally had to just cut front and back of the tunnel a bit here and there after removing the standard auto mount plate. I was careful to note where the stick was in drive so could then make sure i positioned the box the shifter would sit in that same position

What brand coil overs did you get? Thinking of some for mine as can fit wider fronts with the coil overs. Also noticed they make a coil type set up for live rears now
