N likely stands for Newton Force. Also by the hunting of the Focus, I'd say new camera? ;)

Chris, just recently I was refurbishing a trunk and needed gas struts. I believe the "N" stand for Newtons, and 630 Newtons equals 141.63 pounds or 64.24kg. And yes, it's the small things that matter. Cheers

dont think i have ever seen a painted B pillar trim there with the srs sticker on it, just black plastic. if it was painted you would see where the door seals would wear through it and look awful. they come up great polished, like glass.

Have been semi interested in a Sony ZV-1 myself, so good to see a straight up comparison! Picture looks great, as we all know the action cams dont fare spectacularly in low light, and like you said, no zoom etc. In saying that, for action cams I switched to the DJI Osmo action 4, and dude it SMOKES the GoPro in just about every single way. Something to keep in mind when it comes time to retire the old work horse.

Boot struts are mounted in a different spot due to the weight of the hsv spoiler. Ss also ran different valving as well even through they where the same length as standard.

That check strap you got suits VB-VL. I hate when parts suppliers just assume everything stayed the same. Buff the pillar moulds in place - the pillar holds them nicely, without the risk of breaking it. The clips at the bottom are sacrificed when you remove them, so you need new clips (and the middle bits from the originals end up living the rest of their life down inside the bottom of the pillar).

The audio clarity is nice. Sounded really compressed from the go pro. Those new front lights are a great score. I can't stand plastic headlights, pretty much everything in the states from the 80/90s on has them.

All the ones I’ve done have been just plastic. A slight grey black plastic. I use plastic polish and you’ll get away with a foam cone on a drill. Use a firm cone first and then a soft cone. Then wax it or ceramic coat it. I did a kind of how to on Just Commodores.

The different boot struts for HSV vs standard Commodore range will be because of the extra weight the spoiler adds. Also looks like you've got brighter lights either in the garage or on the camera. Looks great.
