New Rear Bar
Hey guys just wanted to know how reliable Car Mate are for parts.. My mate sent me a photo of a rear bar from them and it looks pretty tidy.. I wanted to know if Car Mate products (rear bars/front bars/body kits) are any good or their products are dodgy.. My rear bar's got a big f**k off dent in it from the last owner and I'm gonna replace it.. Just want the best for my baby I know you'd all understand

Re: New Rear Bar
It's all luck of the draw I'm sure people sometimes get good ones and sometimes people get bad ones but when I Say bad I really mean fucked nothing lines up
Best off getting a rear bar from dstocks or any body parts for that matter

Re: New Rear Bar
The bonnets are one of the best things from them in the way of fitting.
If you are after full kits have a chat with dstocks as he has a great kit available ( front and back bars, side skirts and also fenders ) .

Re: New Rear Bar
I have had 2 bonnets from them.. All good..
I got skirts off them, and panel beater refused to fit them. They were that bowed that he would have had to chop it into sections, fit, then re-glass it..
Other people have been luckier though..

Re: New Rear Bar
It's more the fact that they don't get a lot of FTO's in there getting parts fitted, so they can't fix their moulds that they have.
Unlike their commodore and ford kits that are fitted twenty thousand times a day

Re: New Rear Bar
Hey guys thanks again for all the help it means a lot
I'll definitely hit up dstocks to get my new rear bar.. I tend to trust 'people in the know' a lot more then some of these mainstream suppliers anyways.. God damn that custom rear bar he's rockin looks tidy
If funds weren't so tight in fixing up and restoring my new angel I'd be 100% committed to getting me one so it might have to be a cheaper boring stock bar for now :/

Re: New Rear Bar
Yep, got stock rear bars in the shed (4 or 5 I think). Any particular colour.
Oh and can get the custom rears made on request at any time.

Re: New Rear Bar
Aww this is awesome news man
I'll need a black one if you've got it.. I really love the look of your custom bar and if I had the $$$ to get it I would!! Unfortunately I got to repair some body work and my left rear strut needs some solid repair so if you could hold a black bar for me for a week or two that would be great man

Re: New Rear Bar
Pretty sure I have at least one black one. Will go and check in the shed when it cools down a bit. Where are you though. Not exactly the sort of thing I can chuck in the post.

Re: New Rear Bar
Ok, just had a look at it. $50. There are a couple of scratches that I dont believe will buff out though.
