I'm pretty sure there is no getting aroung cutting the rear apron and I'm sure I will shed a tear, I's just like to see how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same as the XR6 Turbo's they cut the little centre thing out of the rear apron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen one done and it looked pretty neat but just not for me.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
