I love the TS for front bar.

D Cuatro for Skirts.

Persoanlly don't like VS rear bar unless the whole car is VS kitted.

Creative Wing.



Let me know if you find out a good price on the D Cuatro skirts, I want to get some :) mine are all chipped and buggered.

Well you have to make sure you get a matching kit.. i mean you cant have a vs rear bar with dc side skirts and Ts factory front!

also.. these will be hard to track down. Personally I dislike the whole VS look, the rear bar is hideous and the front kit is too common.
But that's my opinion, everybody has different tastes.

VS will be very easy to get, DC will be harder to track down as there's nowhere in AUS where they're readily available, you're only chance is to get it from japan, or somebody lucky enough to be selling their used ones.

and just forget about anything Creative, too much hassle and money :?

That one is choice! I would love to swap my FTO for that.

Looks a lot like yours as well Shue.

dmd in brisbane sell the dc skirts for 350$ from memory and im sure they sell the bozz front too. another crazy combo is a bozz front and dc skirts with a topmix wing or vs wing. i would stay away from the snow plough vs front and rear though

Hey shue, is that purpleronnie's FTO? I like how he put the extra center piece at the front opening.

which one's easier to get in AUS? bozz or ts factory for the front.

what other rear bars are there?.the 'complete fto' site had riduclous models, and the VS was really the only one that retained the original curves nicely.
actually, now that i look at the vs rear again, it kinda does look ugly..

if i left the original rear bar, will the side skirts match it in terms of height?

and what about availability of topmix wings?

so.. topmix rear apron then?

it looks almost exactly the same as stock, except for the bit that leads to the wheel arches, a bit more integrative

id say Bozz front with vs skirts is probably best combo for price looks and easiness to obtain.. imo dcuatro skirts dont look so good in person as VS

also topmix is probably pretty difficult to obtain in aus

thats kind of a bummer, cause i live quite a distance away in Sydney =P

but, all i need is to be able to source the kits, cause my friend has a couple of uncle's who own their own garages, and they should also be able to repaint the entire car.

i agree with Hobbsie about vs skirts. the hole in the DC just doesnt cut it..

reckno the stock GPvR wing will look out of place?

lol YES u can mix n match kits, if you read what i wrote for a change, I said you have to be CAREFUL with which combo u go with, mix n match to the right style, and it'll look better than a full kit of all the same kind, I was saying be careful and make sure it looks good and not out of place.

for eg.. i have a VS wing with dc side skirts + front bar and a BX rear bar now, i'll post up pics so i've mixed 3 diff styles but they suit each other :twisted:
