Looks awesome mate. :fishin: The fibresports/awc kits are so well made... I bet you'll do exactly what I did, get it on and then regret not getting the skirts and rear bar while you were at it.

I used the fpv foglights, but found that they sat a little bit to low in the bar. (you can see the black edge along the top on the photo) Could probably fix it with a dremel by removing a bit of the fibreglass bracket. And I use that sicaflex(?) sh*t to glue on the foglight covers because they were way to flimsy. Im f*cked if I ever smash a foggy though because they arent ever coming off!!

And be aware that fibreglass is much softer than plastic, keep your distance from trucks on the highway and avoid unsealed roads. Mine was brilliant when I got it but stone chips have f*cked it when you look close. And another note, make sure you bolt the inner gaurds on well, mine came loose on a very long trip and rubbed away on the tire. Had to buy a new one.

No point in gettin a rear bar for the ute. Nothing really special about it. I mite get the skirts one day. Ive got FPV lights also. Im currently using my dremel to get them to mount in the correct spot. Ill get that sorted out 2morrow. Yeah I mite use some double sided tape on one edge of the light covers. The other edge is held on with a serious steel clip.

I always keep my distance when behind vehicles. Ive bought new plastic scrivets for the inner guards so hopefully mine dosnt fall off!!!! Cant see why it would.

Bumper wont be going on this weekend... Oz post cant seem to get a UBP from Sydney to Cairns in 5 working days...... Hopefully it shows up next week. They said it will probably get here Tuesday.... Im going to do everything in one hit, so while the old bumper is off the FMIC and UBP will go on. Then the Typhoon bar will go on....

All ready to be fitted. Had to do a bit of surgery with the dremel to allow the correct fitment of the FPV driving lights. Next weekend it should be on, im also going to relocate the horns to allow some clearance for the new FMIC.
