You are right, it would look the part with the skirt covers. Would love to get one of those G Ex front bars and the skirts to go with it. But dont like the chances of finding one. The main thing we are after now is the top rear wing for the wagon door. Would prefer the Australian delivery one from the Gf8 but even the bigger JDM one would be ok.d_generate wrote:That looks sweet, nice if you could get some Gravel Express skirt covers just to set it off, I recently gave away the G Ex front skirts which would have matched your rears.
The last lower rear spoiler I put on a wagon was held on purely by Sikaflex cos I couldn't be bothered drilling the holes lol, I saw the car back at pickles where I'd bought it from a couple of years later and it was still hanging on after what looked like a hard life.
The one closest to the camera is the one we are after. But either would do. I doubt i will find the G express front nudge bar though. Where did you find yours.d_generate wrote:You'd be amazed at how much shade the JDM wing gives to the rear window and the lower one is a great beer table lol.
You can sort of see the difference here.
All i can say is, Great score.d_generate wrote:Purely by arse, I had the car lifted and almost ready for rego and I went to a workshop to buy something, the back door was open, being nosy I had a gander and there sitting in the rack of front cuts was a Gravel Express, I couldn't believe my eyes and it had been there for something like 7yrs, he actually threw the rear bumper with wheel carrier away as nobody on the performance forums wanted it, I didn't want the front bumper as I had the later shaped one so I picked it up for either $100 or $150.
It's surprisingly strong as the car it was on had a decent smack in the front guard near the park light where something had hit the bar yet it was still straight and unmarked, under the plastic is like a 2" nudge bar where the chrome side supports (possibly spring steel) are welded to it, it had adjustable mounts where it fits the chassis but we strengthened it by cutting them off and welding it to a 50X50 RHS and bolted that between the rails and we put further supports back to the front X member, the bumper support is stronger also with two brackets poking through either side of the number plate where it also bolts to, not as flimsy as it looks.
