I love XB GTs so I was keen but decided for $1000 it wouldn't suit the lines of the car and really I should by an XB GT if I wanted one hahaha. Instead I put BMW lights in my car LOLAnd nah not me, my work uniform is black shirt and I have the straight spoked Phoon 18" rims and Brembos now! Need painting badly especially driver's side. Thing is half pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to start a thread in exhaust section to see if anyone knows anything about them.I might be looking at a 3 inch catback exhaust, but don't know whether its just a waste of time/money. There was one youtube video clip, and it sounded OK (but I guess many of you cool kids running high boost would think it sounds sh!ttywok and 'tinny')....plus videos always sound different in real life, and I suspect this brand may drone heaps or something (and that's why its available cheap).And I know the FG is mainly 3" catback, but there is the pipes from centre muffler to cat pipe I think, that is actually 2 twin pipes (in a very funny shape)....so by removing this maybe it will help later on when I can afford my tune and install my ballistic high flow cat? And maybe the straight through mufflers will be more efficient than stock system? I think the guy said it was straight through mufflers and mild steel but painted black.

Or the halo ones? I remember when halo lights were the sh!t and all the ricers were rocking them bad boys (myself included ahahaha)and yeah I didn't think it was you Steve, cause I remember you posting pics of your peeling twistys and your story about not trimming the backplate for your rear territory/F6 calipers lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example you're locked in for a certain period and can't make extra repayments. I like to set my loans over the longest time period I can to make the base payment the smallest and then smash extra off the top and pay it out much quicker anyway. Also, I believe you have to provide 10% deposit. Edited 21/03/14 07:07 AM by dowen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon my bonnet suited the lines of the FG more than the other one on the B series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS nitro - my rims aren't twistys, those are the 19" ones. You can see my halo lights in the pic kyle put up earlier. Just had to leave the lights on concrete for 20 minutes on a 32° day and was able to pry them open, glue turns to super tough bubblegum. If I had a spare car I would have like to figure out a solid mount but I just used "acid free" silicone. still holding on 5 years later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
