Hi all, I've just purchased my first HSV, a Monaro VXR LS2 in phantom black This beast is awesome. I have a couple of questions that maybe you'll be able to help with:

- I'm missing the plastic ring that sits around the rear fog light on the back bumper. Does anyone know a cheap way to pick one up? I'm not having any luck finding one online from Aus or the US

- I'm thinking about whether a ripshifter is worth while. I think I read somewhere that the shifter on my particular model had been improved from earlier models. Has anyone got any first hand experience of swapping to a ripqshifter on the LS2?

Mud printed some maybe he has one left

Currently on the wrong side of the planet, but email me and I'll pick it up in a few days (no gmail in China!) - happy to help, congrats on the car

To answer your other question: the VXR has a shorter gear stick then that on a CV8 but the shift will be vastly improved with the rip shifter, it's a great modification.

If you already have an exhaust, then the rip shifter is a good next step (on a very slippery slope)

Thanks, have you tried the vxr ls2 both before and after with a ripshift?

I have tried before and after Ripshift and its miles better, no stiring porridge to find the gear.
