The Bozz will be a bit different, but IMO I like dstocks more (and even more than the original on which it's based.) Mostly for the reason that the Bozz has that odd bit of overhang at the top of the mouth, which I've always thought was a bit odd. I think dstocks works nicely because the mouth is lower overall.

Be prepared for scrape-age either way. :lol:

Coilovers will pervent this :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the opinion though, quite thorough.
The bozz speed has the overhanging mouth to follow the raised line of the entire car I believe. It gives the kine a sort of starting point I guess

I like Bozz more, but not with dc skirts and definitely not in silver...

I know you're going dark blue, but a dstocks front would still suit yours better I think.

Yep Dwaynes gets my vote.. But I have always preferred the facelift style front bars..

Which was why I bought a facelift.. :)

When that bar was made, I thought all my prayers were answered..

And I had to raise the sh*t out of the coilovers cause it does sit pretty low on low profile tyres.. And am glad my car is being used as the example here .. :)
I just had to add it ......

They both look equally as awesome, but Bozz has a bit more uniqueness to it.

Its a moot point really, where are you going to source the Bozz from? They dont make them anymore, so you'd have to find a 2nd hand one (not especially likely).

    Bloody hell , they are usually rarer than hens teeth. And now they are coming out of the woodwork.

    Have some bad news. My fibreglasser is going to retire at the start of next year. I can either buy the moulds off him for $2200 or we loose them.........Not sure what to do just yet.

      Or he could be a good bloke and give you the mould because he's retiring and won't make any money out of it anymore anyway :lol:

      Plus there's the profit you've already given him.

      Sorry, ranting. Continue :lol:
