The Veilside body kit looks really aggressive without trying to make it beefy and look like a V8 supercar. Now those things look disgusting! I throw up all the time coz they're around every corner!

Well until someone makes an all-round better looking kit with wide availability your gonna see more of the Veilside kist Nacho.

I like the front end and skirts myself but the rear spoiler is a bit much for my liking.

I'm not trying to offend anyone. I'm just saying that an extra lip on the stock front bar doesn't make it look any better.

I love the VS kit - it looks aggressive, best kit available for the FTO IMHO - better than toad-mouthed stock front bar.
Those rims look great. I got a silver FTO as well, I'm finding it hard to find rims that match. I love shadow chrome, but I'm not sure if they match the colour.
How much was your interior work? Was is hard to get done?
How is the ride with the super small tyres? You feeling ever bump or what?
Are 19" legal, or more importantly, insurable? Can't you only go 2" above factory standard? And 1" width or something? (This is in Victoria - ie, the Nazi state)
I was thinking of getting new 17"s, but if I can go bigger I will. Whats the maximum width?

my custom interior costed $2500 (front/back seats. door trims, gear boot, i had it done at the vines in sydney. no more then 2" sizes bigger, but you are rarely going to get picked on for having bigger wheels, shadow chrome looks great on silver fto's as i've had some before in the 18"x7.5" HP DESIGN - onyx (hyper silver)
