Hi All,
I'm new to this forum, have played around on other sites on and of for a bit.
I have just completed a car that might be worthy of this site.
It stared life as a fairly standard 98 Nl Fairlane Concord. I have had the car fo a few years now and did pits and pieces. Recently have finished a full make over.

Pedders Lowered Springs
Koni Adjustable Shocks
Full Super Pro Rebush of the suspension
Whiteline Sway Bars
3.73 Diff Gears
V8 Spec T5 with Short Shift
BA XR6T Flywheel and Clutch
Running Gear all from Mal Wood Automotive
17" EL GT Rims
RDA Slotted Rotors with ECB Green Pads
EL GT Grill
Custom 4 core alliminum Radiator with Thermos to suit
Pioneer Head Unit Speakers Sub and Amps
Viper Alarm with remote start.
And the Best Bit
Rebuilt Motor with forged pistons and all the other goodies
Capa Stage 3 Vortec Blower Kit with water injection 9Psi.
Chip Torque Tune 217.6 RWKW and 530NM Torque at 3500rpm

I dunno about the ELGT grille, but that's a f**king nice ride! 530nm @ 3500rpm must be orright

+1 to NFS's request too :D

Yea the grill has always been one thing i wasn't 100% happy with, i have the standard one but i think they suck, what i really want is the Tickford Fairlane Grill but can't seem to find one. Even Ford has kindly discontinued them so if any one knows where i can get one that would be great. Included in pick is my other car 98 Fairmont Ghia, full stock except for the rims

Two very nice cars you've got there. The Fairlane, of course, is especially sweet and I'd be keeping the EL GT grill but that's just me, i like them.
