    Looks great, though you do have the best color so that helps.

    Excellent, looks great.
    Bordello Red....what a great name. Of course the authenticity of such a name will require further extensive research.

    Nothing like a great detail to show off all the upgrades, nicely done.

    How'd the install of the rear armrest go? Yours is the second one I know of.

    You basically just slide it on. It was an EXTREMELY tight fit (which is a good thing). It was a bear to get pulled over. It looks better in person, I needed brighter/better lighting - the color is very "cool" in that picture. I went with red to add a splash of color to the interior and show off the Holden logo better.

    Looking great but I'm bias on the color also ..digging the caliper covers.

    Need my Atari gauges programmed but cannot find anyone who does it now.
