well front bar is a perfect fit, rear bar is a 98% perfect fit, just gotto grind a little out of the inside of the bar
Sidekirts required a little bit of glass removed so that the door dosnt hit it, but other than that, going together pretty smooth |

Little video of the kit, also the exhaust me and a mate made idling, Lews seperated dump pipes into 3 inch 304 grade stainless mandrel bent pipe into twin 3 inch and Blitz Nur spec mufflers.
Very straight through, sounds like a truck at idle, but sound sooooo smooth in the revs

Very nice mate
I just got my 97 update factory kit delivered a day before you got yours so I share your excitement.
Be sure to put up plenty of pics when the paint is done
Nice job  |

well shall be getting painted soon, been sitting in the driveway for the last 4 or so weeks and ive finally got the funds to get it painted haha.
Come next weekend it will be getting pulled back off few cracks repaired, then sent of to my spraypainted to get prepped and sprayed
Its been a little while coming, but man does it look sweet, even in black gelcoat on a silver soarer haha.
Sideskirts fit superbly, bolted straight up, would swear it was 97 skirts haha.
Front bar i finally got around to fitting properly, well everything is looking spot on, no gaps anywhere, only 1 problem is they took a little to much out of the RHS highbeam hole when they were cutting it out but thats easily sorted.
Rear bar, well predrilled holes which bolt to factory positions , probably the best fitting piece of the complete kit
Definately be having pics up when i get it painted, im so excited to get it done haha |

Where did you get your smoked tails? Get pulled over much? (I'm in TAS too but Hobart coppers are slowly becoming a little Melbourne and Sydney style with canaries and the like, even pulling you over just to have a perve on your car) |

havnt had 1 problem with them mate, been pulled up to for random licence checks, inspection stations etc and no problems so far, plenty of light at night time so i dont see how they are a problem, daytime they put out plenty of light as well. |
