my EF project

Postby Baz » June 5th, 2011, 11:20 am

I took advantage of the natural sun light and took a couple pics, i reckon the taillights need to be tinted to complete the dark theme all around, i got lots of work to do before its "really" complete

Ignore the shit on the doors, its getting a full respray pretty soon.

I'd lower it before I spent money on just about anything else. Looks nice and tidy, though.

thanks man, yeah i agree, although first i need to fit the bodykit to see how much lower my car needs to sit
But its actually decently low, im parked on the nature strip its tilting the car to the side creating the illusion that its not low

It looks much better than the EL GT kit in my opinion. I'd still much rather the Tickford kit, myself.

i tend to think even tho even tho they are gay looking kits i think if done right them kits do look good i rember there was a gun metal grey ef falcon in street fords last year with that kit and it looked amazing i think with a body kit like that the colour is the key to setting it off and i think the green will make the kit look good im really keen 2 see the end result :)

Its not to bad, but with misk, infernal tyrant and John. Reckon it would have looked good with the ticky kit. The colour looks real good lol. I reckon you need rims with more dish. But thats just me.
Anyhow well done the work you have put in must be commpnded :)

I think it looks fine how its sitting, lowering it will only cause unwanted problems, with speed humps, coming out of driveways, scraping the bottom of the bumper
i admit it might 'look better' being lower than it is now, but in the long run i know im going to run into trouble

these kits are dodgy, i wouldn't want them coming off hah.
