trev.. you'd be surprised.. the last can i used had a little more fur :lol:
i know its a no-no... but it will be getting a coat of polish this weekend...
i mainly do hwy miles.... and the matt doesn't hold up too well after a couple of months... the 'fur' wares off.. and its a prick to pick the bugs out of...
polish it up.... and eventually start wearing the black down to see how many different colored panels she has !
get a 'rainbow' patina going ! 8)

on another note.... are there specific manual gearboxes that match the model of grey, i.e. fj grey takes a certain box... fb tanks another... ek takes another.. etc etc.. ? any numbers that i should look for ??

Man you've nailed the look :wink: maybe a couple of peep mirrors, when I put a pair on my ute I found them a pain to use (but looked cool) fixed that by adding the stick on convex mirrors now they look cool and are practical.

Yeah, I reckon the peep mirrors would really set it off.

There was a matt chopped FB van at MotorEx last year that had a lourvered bonnet, and they had pinstriping under each louvre, Really set it off.

Anyway, it's your car. Looks hot the way it is 8)

Looking at the width of those rims I don't think you'd be able to lower it much anyway Stu.

But 2" would be nice :mrgreen: Suspensions overated....
