Guest SixTApeal Guests Posted 14/12/08 07:28 AM Share Posted 14/12/08 07:28 AM Good luck finding a genuine steell one , but yeh sometimes they'll pop up on ebay...Just be wary of the fibreglass ones....tend to warp/not fit/ just genuinely not good quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now found out that they are for the AU falcon wagon not the BF to witch all the other part are for and despite ron klik admitting they are different he then turns around and said that there is no difference Even without the side skirts been wrong they are made so badly that to get them to fit is a mission. I have spent about 6 hours just trying to get them straight and are still far from looking right but I am beyond the point of no return I think.Ron calls them custom so no one can say that they do not look right because they are custom. imoSo I would advise everyone that if you time is worth more than $1/hour or want there car to look good closer than 100m, imo stay away from Ron KlikPhat Custom Kits57 Bennet st, Dandenong VIC 3175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
