A genuine front bar won't cost that much. with $3k only you would have a genuine strong front bar, that would be sufficient enough for front impact crash rating. Not a cheap fibreglass copy for $650 that might get you killed or leave you with $10k repair bill on your car, as these cheap copies are only as strong as paper in the event of an accident.

So, I'm saving for a genuine one. Maybe I'll get that $1800 genuine veilside front bar. Whole kit with side skirts shouldn't cost more than $6k. The E1 style is not bad. Looks like it's using the standard blinkers as well.

I might be willing to part with mine....i've got the full C-I kit minus the flares, I also seem to have the GTR CE-I rear wing instead of the GTS C-I one. Front bar needs a bit of work tho.

GTR-B0Y, any pics of your front bar?

What do u mean the front bar needs work? is it damaged, how bad is the damage?

are the legit ones poly eurathane or carbon fibre? if its carbon then jus go the fakes man, jus make sure the ones you get have a wire mesh underlay (othawise they jus snap and crumble)

the bomex kit i got on my old 180 was 50% aluminum 50% poly eurathane... so basically it made it look good and as solid as stock, maybe veilside do the same.

i always thought that the strength was in the metal reinforcing bumper that your bumper skin sits on, surely the strength of your body kit doesnt matter at all aside from the fact that scrapes may damage some more than others..

yeah in case of an accident of that proportion the chassis is the only thing tha stops you from becomign a sardine... the panels don't have much to do with it.

Getting an original helps when you get into a minor accident... (like the one I jus had where sum kant backed into my bumper) all that happens is that your paint cracks and you get a scuff mark das all... wheras if you had a fibreglass one you'd have a massive crack and you'd have to do some major patching up which costs as much as the panel.

Dont know if this is of any help, may be a bit late but BODYFORM is Lansvale do Veilside kits. Dont know the price but the work is very good. Seen a blue R33 there that had the kit put on and it looked pretty good. Certainly worth a look if you are interested in the Veilside bodykit.......

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
