Dstocks has a good kit.
Front bar and side skirts are a sweet fit, the back bar is also good but needs a little prep work.
A link to the front bar thread, pics start on page 3.

Just some sanding to take off the ruff spots things like that.
The panel shop that you get to spray them up can do it for you.

The bar has a spot on the left that is set out as a cut out for a second outlet so you will be fine.

You have a creative front bar, DCuatro side skirts and a Veilside rear bar. You will not get a creative bar in Australia. The side skirts you have are exactly the same as the ones in the kit I can get (which means that the front and rear bars will match your existing side skirts. The rear bar has a cutout for the twins, but you may have to drop the exhaust a little as the Veilside rear sits quite high. You could always buy another Veilside rear bar if that suits. The Ts Factory front bar will bolt straight on, is a good fit and is the only facelift bar available in Australia. As you have facelift indicators, it would be the best bet. Any other front bar and youll have to buy the prefacelift indicators to suit.
