Asia is a hater of venetians, sunvisors etc.

I'm going to do it to my new vehicle just to piss him off.

I can't see properly but it looks like mine may have a white roof as well.............

To be honest I think your Premier looks good with the twin head lights because it's all still in good nick.

The wheels keep in with the tidy looks, and the white roof should look smart once it's on ...

but I'm just not down for with the sun visors and venetians as they really detract from the factory lines of a car

It's a part designed to keep sun out of your eyes when driving, not something which is cosmetic ... besides ... you don't see Camaro's with sun visors so the mustn't be cool ph34r.gif

Hate to say it but I agree with the man with the Sunbird , have had a couple with the sun visors on and its the first thing to come off . To be truthful I don't understand why everyone these days seems to want the stock look . Yes on a full restoration I get it , but as a cruiser they look so much better with a nice set of wide rims , tinted windows etc . I have recently scored a clean Belmont HX wagon that was bog stock , it took less than an hour to have the std wheels off and a set of mags on and the std steering wheel in the shed and a nice leather sports one found a new home on the column .

Different strokes for different folks, my new vehicle is almost damn near stock standard, after almost 20 years of modifying cars, seeing different styles come and go, modified things till they can't be modified anymore, sometimes it's nice just to enjoy the base of something, rather than the balls to the wall aspect of it. Not to mention shit that doesn't break everytime you go for a drive, doesn't cost you a paycheck to fill the damn thing to drive, can't drive it on the street due to the mods/attitude of the engine, and allows you to actually enjoy the vehicle for what it is.

Don't get me wrong, modified is good, I will still have projects, as most of us do, but a little originality in a sea full of modified vehicles, will often stand out on it's own merits.............

Sun visor's and venitians are great just got to be the right color car to set it off

Post #1245

I wish i could have my car looking like a stock cruiser, but the visors, and stock wheels dont suit the utes IMO. So i will just co the typical retro look. Billit Wheels FTW!

seen an awesome looking white HQ ute with whitewalls and visor..... DO IT!!!!!!!

Post #1247

you will have to convince me with pics, they look out of place imo

EDIT. Also does anyone have any pics of the old school front end mods? (cut bumper and extra piece of grill fitted to the bottom of the original grill)

Post #1248

Forgetting the old school 90's graphics, why isn't the fitment of HZ front lips more popular on HQ's ?

dunno but it does look good.....not the grathix tongue.gif

Because on a sedan, you're looking at a square lip on a round car.

It will suit the utes as the wellbody has sharper lines to it, but a sedan has the swoop of the roof and the smooth rear lines.

And nothing wrong with the Q you posted up there either, notice how it's ORIGINAL..................

Visors,venetians

yeah, I know.... sad.gif

wish it was single light, but you don't balk at a prem in this condition for $3500 do you?

btw, I always liked your car and it saddens me to know it is below par these days.

and Jamie, that is a really nice HQ, tough but understated.



yeah $3500 is a steal!!

yeah i know you have always liked it,it pisses me off that ive let it turn to shit aswell. ive decided im going to give it the love it needs. I was keen on just forgetting about the Hq and letting it rot away and getting a chevy pickup, but then i thought ive owned it for nearly 6 years and im kind of in love with it.

and besides,Id rather finish one project before i start on the next, unlike someone else (NICK STRINGER)

Im not doing anything wild with it,retrim front bench.new drivers doorcard.new parcel shelf.new hoodlining.OG motor rebuild.and of course cut all the rust out and a decent paint job.Basicly just fix everything ive neglected over the last couple of years.I just want it to be the good looking cruiser it once was.

and i think the ass can go a couple more inches lower smile.gif

The difference though is the FB wears the sun visor and still looks good as a modified car, the HQ has to be 'survivor' spec for everything to fit in place

Just a riced up asians 2 bob on the matter tongue.gif

FFS Asia just when I thought we agreed on something .
FB is a horrendous colour , and them wheels are fucking horrid .
HQ prem is nice as , but needs some nice mags .
Both cars would look better without sun visor , as would the sandman ute .
