| Looks amazing! I love the interior shot and the shot of the rear. Personally not a fan of your frontbar, but the rest of the car is schmick! |

| I'm not a fan of it either, too damn small :D Your rims are certainly sex though. Just filed for my tax return its basically the last step before I pick up my own soarer. Where's your friend's studio located, I'd love to have a few shots done myself. |

| Toowoomba. The front bar is actually a modified factory one with the splitters taken out of the openings and filled with mesh, re-located number plate and filled holes. I like it, it's different but it's still plastic and FITS like it should! Kinda Ferrari-esque is one comment i've had. |

| I'm not sure what it is, in the first photo something doesn't look right about it - its too squarish, like its come off a Silvia or something. However when you get a look at it in the second photo its fine. It may just be the lighting in the first photo and the illusion caused by the vertical line in the reflection on the right hand side there. |

| Aadam - where did you get your pillar gauge pod? Is that in the chocolate brown, or black? Either way, I'm desperately trying to source one I know will fit the Soarer, regardless of colour. |

| Shane. I got the pillar pod mount off e-bay. Universal in black. Spend an hour or so with a heat gun bending and moulding it into shape, then trimmed the excess off, then sprayed it grey with vinyl/plastic dye. |

| Adam, car looks hot, it looks like its pissing out oil in the first pic though how did you go about mounting the numberplate on the front lip like that? Did you bend the lip forward? |

| Ryan. That's actually the battery tray drain tube and the radiator drain. NOT oil! Thanks for the responses guys. Don't forget to look at the link to the studio. I just own the car, Andrew made it look good!!! |

| Here's a photo of my front bar for anyone who's interested.
I just made some brackets out of aluminium bar to mount the plate. I've since mounted a nice shiny intercooler behind it too! |
