I dont hate the front bar if it was an xr, but you gotta leave the fpv kits alone imo.Paint job is amazing!

Also not a fan of moving the f and b series front bars, but its your car and you obviously like it! Love the colour, top choice. Looks killer on bags. How does it go for noise when the tanks are filling? Fairly quiet or noisy as fck? Wouldn't mind doing it one day but that's always been on my mind..the noise oh and cost lolLook forward to more progress updates/pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho it could use a little black (or matt body color) around the inserts in the bumper to break it up a little, but otherwise I think its looks quite good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bftornado Donating Members 22 Member For: 14y 2m 5d Posted 30/07/12 10:45 PM Author Share Posted 30/07/12 10:45 PM yeah I have gone down the standard fpv body kit look before with my typhoon and just concentrated on power. but for the ute I wanted to do something completely different and unique. bf fpv bar looks dated to me now. the fg f6 bar has a lot more aggression to it and as I didnt want it to look like the other people who have tried this conversion, I did it all the one colour (last minute decision) and im happy with the result. it has literally just been towed to Gentech to start the motor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent heard a quite compressor(s) yet. depending on where you mount everything will determine the amount of noise but you definitely hear it inside and out. you can also put silencers on the air lines so you don't hear that noise on deflation (dropping car).lol yeah the cost is the big drama with bagging a ba/bf. dont expect much change from 9k for a proper legal set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
